I’m not one of those gals who needs to wear makeup every day to feel beautiful. That said, I do feel good when I wear makeup - maybe even a little better. On days that I’m running late or short on time, instead of going out with a bare face I’ll often grab for my go-to “quickie” products. To even out my complexion and combat redness, I’ll reach for a tinted moisturizer. On deck this week: American Beauty Youth-Full Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 ($25).

American Beauty Youth-Full Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 promises sheer coverage that’s natural-looking and comfortable. Simple? Yes. True? Also yes! First, I have to give this tinted moisturizer props for actually giving a little moisture with the addition of jojoba seed oil. When I use this, I can easily skip applying my usual moisturizer without fear of those dreaded dry patches.

The coverage is indeed sheer, but it’s a good sheer. It’s not the sheer that melts into your skin and virtually disappears, but it’s a sheer that adds an even, pretty glow. It won’t hide blemishes or imperfections, but it doesn’t claim to do so either. The SPF deserves a shout-out as well! You know I hate applying sunscreen, beauties, so I like to sneak it in where I can.

Overall, I’m impressed with my first American Beauty product! A little goes a long way, and it lives up to it’s label. Definitely worth a look.

I have added a new step to my routine this summer, which I hope to continue all year long.  I have been slathering my entire body with sunscreen, no matter if I am about to head outside or not, every morning.  Finding one that is not heavy or smells like the tropics isn't as easy as you would think.  I started using LAVANILA The Healthy Sun Screen SPF 30 Body Cream after my shower and my skin is thanking me for it.
