Aveeno Tinted Moisturizer Review

It's summer and you know what that means - we all get to bake our bodies and reap the rewarding effect of a smokin' hot TAN bod!!!! NOT. For people with fair skin (such as myself), the sun's rays can really harm our exterior. A product to play up the sunkissed look without damaging the only skin you'll ever have is to go with a tinted moisturizer with SPF. They'll never know you're really 1/2 vampire. 


This review is on Aveeno's Positively Radiant Tinted Moisturizer. Don't forget.. if you don't feel like reading the whole post, just scroll right on down to the end of this entry where you can find concise details pertaining to the product. Happy reading! Here goes..

So this summer I wanted a bit of a glow because if you know me, you know I am as pale as Casper would be if he saw a ghost - no, seriously. I started using a gradual tinted moisturizer (Jergen's brand) all over my body and totally loved it. The reason I had to find a new product I blame on my skin's sensitivity level. I couldn't use the body lotion or face lotion on my face without breaking out which resulted in - well, not the most attractive sight under the sun. Anyway, I remember my old boss using this product and she was very knowledgeable of skin care products so I figured I'd be safe - and I was/am! I LOVE this product. It is very sheer, lightweight and even provides a small but appreciated amount of coverage to help even out skin tone. The smell is a little off-putting at first, but honestly I have come to like it, as was the case when I used Jergen's Natural Glow product. I can put a teeny tiny amount on and not be afraid that I need more make-up  and I also don't have to duck in any back alleys to make sure my face isn't melting off my face if you know what I'm talkin' about!! :) It lasts all day long and when I look in the mirror, no matter how tired I feel, my face remains bright, balanced and tinted. The only con I can see when it comes to this product is the price. It can run from about $14.00/$18.00 per bottle (2.5 oz.) which is a bit expensive for a drugstore product. But I guess it's worth it considering it DOES have SPF 30 and the tiniest amount goes a long way. One other tiny discrepancy with the product is the shading. They only make 2 shades which include fair to light and then medium. The medium is a bit dark for me, and the fair to light doesn't get my face to the shade I desire so I stick with the medium and so far, no one has told me to lighten up on the fake-bake or bronzer - So, I guess it's a-ok for me! Overall, it's a very nice, effective product. It adds some light reflecting minerals to the skin creating that perfect summer glow we all crave! But alas, it is a bit pricey, but worth every penny!
