Tinted Moisturisers

I am tired of flaky skin! I think it's my diet- I haven't been drinking water or eating enough of my daily fruit and veges! Very bad of me! I have to get back on track or I'll look like a corpse on my wedding day!

I want to share my thoughts on these two tinted moisturisers-
Jemma Kidd Pro Finish Moisture Tint & Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser.

I rarely use tinted moisturisers since my perception is that they don't give much cover and it's too oily for my shiny skin. Now, I think my skin is changing and it needs a bit more hydration. I bought the L.Mercier T.Moisturiser a long time ago but wasn't impressed with it at all! I thought it was way too sheer and didn't do anything for my skin. So I left it lying around....till now!

Jemma Kidd Moisture Tint
Firstly, Jemma Kidd Moisture Tint was a very impulse purchase- got talked into by the girl at Kit Cosmetics. I can't say no! It wasn't cheap either and I thought I'll just give it try because I saw it on Pixiwoo- turns out I got the wrong product by J. Kidd!
Anyway, this was not very good for me. It smells like sunscreen- which I hate! Plus, it made my skin super oily. I don't think it would last a whole day. So I am donating this to my sister who will probably use it when she's at the beach- she is such a beach bum nowadays! I envy her "sportiness"- I need to get a bit of her active routine to get in shape! okk....back to makeup.....

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
Strangely, when I tried it a second time- I found that it's very easy to blend and goes on smooth. Gave my skin a dewy glow:) And it looked very natural! It's definitely my fave now! haha- It's so strange!? Anyway, I would add that it won't work if you are suffering from breakouts. In that case, it's a nightmare to use! Overall- I am loving it now for my everyday makeup:)

Here are some pics of my makeup today. Sorry it's so yellow! ahah I took it near a spotlight. I used Rimmel's Kohl Liner in Green Jungle. A very nice teal colour:) And I am using L.M Tinted Moisturiser with the Undercover pot to conceal my pimples (I hate that time of the month!) and finish it with a very light dusting of powder- I still want to get that dewy look. And it lasted all day! I am so happy:)
