Okay...I see a few bad reviews here about this product...and I dont know why. Well, to each his own. I bough it after I saw reviews on YouTube.
I bought it....a tad pricey for tinted moisturizer but hey...I am a make up whore and I deserve it!!!! So I bought it....took it home and tried it...
To me it seems a little thick to be just a moisturizer....looks like a foundation.....feels like a moisturizer...so WIN WIN! I sometimes wear it alone with some setting pwdr and it makes my skin look more even....healthy. Other than that I use it to refresh my Sonia Kashuk Foundation after 9 plus hours of wear. My verdict???? I ,LOVE IT...I WILL REBUY

I like this tinted moisturizer but it give only really light covrage, so people with skin that is a little more on the discoloration side might not like this because when the pakaging mean sheer they mean sheer. If you have drier skin this is a great product for you because it's hypo-allergenic and spf 15, plus it sinks into your skin really fast, that is probably why the is not as much coverage as desired in this tinted moisturizer because it sinks into your skin so face. So in general the tinted moisturizer in okay but I would love to see what else it out there, such and mac moister tint or jemma kid target line tinted moisturizer.
I wanted to like this tinted moisturizer b/c Boots is a decent brand and the price was right. The main problem I have is that it is very orange. I bought it in Fair, but it is very orange. I don't know any fair skinned people who have orange undertones. Also, I'm pretty sure it makes me look worse than when I'm wearing no makeup. I'll keep searching for the perfect tinted moisturizer.
I bought this in Medium because last year's "summer" foundation was a shade too light, and while it was perfect for my face- working a lot more in the sun this year is showing on my arms, legs, and chest (with a hat of course!). Also Target was out of my usual Maybelline Pure and since I've been using the Boots facial products with great results, I thought I would try a foundation.
That said, the Boots lady at Target recommend this TM to me. I've never used a TM before, so I thought I would give it a try. I didn't realize that it really was JUST a TINT. Medium is a tad darker than my skin, which is actually what I watched, so that's perfect. But all it does is tint my skin- it doesn't cover up anything. I still had to use a concealer for uneven spots.
But it goes on very smooth and easy. The texture is creamy. It does leave your face dewy, which I didn't care for because I have oily skin, but once I put a bit of blush or setting powder, it was fine. I haven't noticed it come off on anything, I even took a nap while wearing it on a white pillow and nothing came off.
It has SPF 15 which is great because I don't have to apply a separate SPF lotion, and it hasn't broken me out at all, even after 3 weeks of near daily use. Fabulous because I DO have oily skin, and I'm always afraid of getting pimples with a new product.
All in all, a decent purchase, and I'll keep using it til it's gone. Pricey for me, $12, but it has the potential to last a while. Not a repurchase however, I'm getting a proper foundation next time, would like at least light coverage instead of practically none. But I would reccomend this to teens and those blessed people that don't have acne scars/spots/dark circles to cover up.

I wanted to like this because I find Boots to be one of the better drugstore brands. However, after using this for 3 weeks I can't believe what this has done to my skin. I haven't had such a nasty case of breakouts EVER until I started using this product. Also, the Medium shade was much too dark for me and yet the Fair was too...orange? There was virtually no coverage with this and the consistency was so muddy. It rubs off so easily on clothes and if you accidentally rub your finger across your face or rest your head on your hand the product instantly wipes off. I'm just so sad that this gave me terrible acne. :( With this TM, I say you get what you pay for.
Edit: It's been 4 days since I stopped using this and I haven't had one new pimple since then. This for sure is not for acnegenic skin.

I purchased this before, but I couldn't use it because I realized my skin was lighter than their "medium" shade. So I bought it in light, and I loveeee it. The packaging is just regular I think, a lotion bottle. It's really smooth and soft, easy to blend. It only takes 30 seconds to apply. It gives me a nice, dewy glow that lasts for about 3-6 hours, which isn't long but you can't expect much from a tinted moisturizer. There was something that really amazed me, though. After only a week of consistent use, I noticed my huge acne scars were fading away. Most of them were gone actually. Even my terrible acne started to smooth out after a recent breakout. And now this is my HG product. I'll wear it even during the winter!

As usual, to dark for me. It makes me look muddy. I had the same problem with Physician's Formula HW in the lightest shade, the Neutrogena one I just bought, and several others from drugstore to higher end.
The few times I did wear this, despite the funky brownish hue it gave my normally icy white skin, I did enjoy the dewy glow (which is what I look for in a TM along with just a smidge of coverage. Otherwise, why bother wearing anything?) It had decent coverage for a TM. It had to SPF smell which is always a deal breaker for me - I've got a super sensitive sniffer.
They need this lighter. I'll try it again when they do.

This is one of the first TM's I've purchased in a long while. Im NC 30-35 and I purchased this in medium. I love the smooth and soft consistency of this product. It goes on very easily and seems to give me good coverage I need as long as I use with the powder to set. The only think I don't like is that the medium seems too dark for me, but I think this product is oxidizing throughout the day as well.
My SK Radiant Tinted Moisturizer spf15 (beige) ran out and after searching every Target in the vincinity for weeks, I gave up and bought this in Medium.......so glad I did!! This has better coverage (covers those freckles), lasts all day in the steamy humidity, stays true to its color and though the Medium is a bit darker than my skin tone it looks natural and gives me a much needed summer glow. Costs less than my old fav too!!
