Inexpensive tinted moisturiser?

Ciarrai76

I tend to use a tinted moisturiser in the summer as its lighter and easier for warmer weather. I used Nivea's last year, but found it too dark for my skin as I'm very fair and it only comes in one colour which was a bit too orangey for me.

I don't want to spend too much (can't afford to!), but I need something that's really natural, but gives good coverage & evens things out! I have slightly sensitive skin, so anything too perfumey won't be good for my skin.

Any recommendations?

The Skin 79 BB Creams are amazing and I use these in the place of tinted moisturiser in the summer months. They are only a couple of euro each, most are shipped from Korea and they only cost a couple of euros a piece. You can get sample kits which will have smaller sizes of the different varieties. These are all very pale, I have tried pink, orange, gold, green and purple, I like them all for different things. These are not orange in tone- like most Korean BBs they are supposed to be brightening. They have lots of skincare benefits. I've done an indepth "ultimate" review on my blog and I've swatched them all side by side if you were interested in the different colour choices. I am not allowed to post links here but if you google it, you should come across loads of reviews and posts.

For your reference, I also have very sensitive skin and these creams did not aggravate it in the slightest

Bourjois CC cream

I saw that Beaut.ie recommended a Revlon BB cream. So many of them around, its so hard to choose!!

My favourite is clinique's tinted moisturizer! However, my sister convinced me to try her Lacura (aldi) CC cream and I've gone & got it myself now. Lovely & light

Also use the Aldi one now and again!
I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked with my skin.

I second the Bourjois CC cream. It's very natural on and has decent enough coverage. I'm on my third bottle!

I'm super pale and the lightest shade is perfect on me. Think its only something like 13 euro.

with these BB creams, would you get most of the day out of it, and would you put a bit of powder on with them?

I use Bare Minerals liquid serum foundation at the moment, but I noticed that they are now doing a BB moisturising cream, although its a bit pricey, €27 in Debenhams! I was hoping to spend a bit less but if its good I might be tempted!

i use powder too, but i get oily skin at times
