BalmShelter Tinted Moisturizer SPF 18

I bought this in both the light shade and the light-medium shade. Like another reviewer I was looking to replace laura mercier tinted moisturizer. In my opinion the feel and coverage of this product is far to heavy to be called a "tinted moisturizer" Also, be aware the shades run darker then most brands so if you have a fair complexion not even the "light" shade is going to work for you. Overall I was really disappointed and I doubt I will ever try another product from TheBalm.

The consistency was perfect! So too was the hue which suited my neutral undertones unlike other more expensive tinted moisturizers that made me look orange. If my skin was being problematic, a second application helped though most of the time one was just fine. I also love that if I do go swimming with it on, I won't look like I've melted. It's also at a very reasonable price point. Sephora recently stopped carrying it which was a big bummer for myself, though you can still purchase it from TheBalm's website. This is my go-to tinted moisturizer!

This is by the far the best tinted moisturizer I've used in my makeup lifetime. I used to use the Urban Decay Urban Defense, but it was too thick for my liking. I like that this gives a decent amount of coverage (not like full coverage, but a little something) and makes my skin very nice and even. It's also cheaper and contains more product than the other tinted moisturizers. theBalm gets bonus points for this one.
