Most tinted sunscreens are too dark and very ochre or orange colored; this KIEHL’S Mineral UV is definitely not in the that category! I am approximately NC15 - hard to say when talking about undertones and overtones and all that - and this stuff is a great color for me. It reminds me of Korean-style BB creams (and those are sometimes too gray for me). The formula is thin and not sticky at all (one reason why I cannot stand Laura Mercier tinted SS)... It does leave a dry, slightly powdery finish. I don’t mind bc I feel it’s proof of a defensive barrier, and it is easy to wash off unlike other SS out there. One caveat is that this contains zero zinc oxide, it is all titanium dioxide as active sunscreen ingredient, so perhaps one should consider using a zinc SS powder over this. The packaging is fantastic, the product comes in a small bottle with a tiny nozzle. This might be the unicorn I was searching for. I wish it weren’t so costly!

It took me about 5 months to use up the small size (14g) of this eye cream. My skin is dry to normal and I used this every morning and evening on clean skin. It's a thicker balmy eye cream that turns more emolient when you apply. This keeps your under eyes moisturized but nothing more, I also noticed that it can sting sometimes. If you are looking for a "basic" but moisturizing eye cream this is alright, but if you want some other benefits like anti-aging, de-puffing or brightening I would look for something else.

I am reviewing the Tinted version in the Berry color. I love a good lip balm and this one I gets a solid B for moisturizing factors and working well with my very sensitive lips. This is the highest SPF tinted lip product I have come across so far; for that reason my grade bumps up to an A- But this product is not inexpensive, my grade goes down to a B+ The packaging of very good, the product is housed in a metal tube with a rubberized cover that snaps shut with a satisfying click. I imagine the rubberized cover will get dirty over time but o really it feels better than a drugstore plastic tube. Like most *good* tinted lip balms, meaning the ones that don’t dry out your lips, this requires frequent application.
