I got a sample of this in a magazine on Friday - had no idea this product was even out and I was definitely not expecting to like it as much as I do Shock

It's been a while since I bought anything by Clinique..... Rolling Eyes

This is a cream/gel formulation tinted "moisturiser" (I don't find it particularly moisturising though) which is oil free and leaves a nice matte finish (and also have some SPF though not enough). It's very easy to spread and blend, AND it makes my skin look smooth and flawless! The sample I got was in "beige" which I thought would definitely be too dark for my skin but I decided to try it anyway and it gave me a gorgeous healthy looking gently tanned face. I'm loving the result and seriously considering going to the shops later this week to investigate the shades further (and to investigate a potential purchase of this). I think this would be great for a humid climate and/or people with combo or maybe oily skin.

Has anyone tried this? Can someone try to talk me out of this perhaps? Please? Laughing

ETA: Sorry, I should add that this doesn't really have much coverage at all so is not suitable if that's what you're looking for. It just has a tint to even out the skin tone.

I havent tried it Mabsy so cant help there! Is it a titanium dioxide product? I like the texture of their city block though thats only suitable for minimal sun exposure.
Why are the best textured ones not good enough with their uva protection Sad

Just had a look at the sample sachet. Active Ingredients: octyl methoxycinnamate 3.5% and titanium dioxide 1%....

LOL!!! mabsy, I was just about to ask if you had found a replacement for your tart tinted moisturizer. I was getting a little bored with it and looking for a change. So, is this clinique going to be it? I haven't bought anything clinique since high school! I tried prada's tinted moisturizer. I really liked it, but after using it for about a week, I had a whole bunch of black heads Sad

which I never have, so now it is sitting in my drawer.

I'm not sure if this is "the one" Smile

I am liking it so far - wearing it again today my skin is looking nice. My forehead did get a shiny by lunchtime though.

I also just remembered that I treated myself to Dr Hauschka tinted moisturiser for my birthday Embarassed

The EDS parcel arrived about a week ago but I haven't yet tried it. Perhaps I should hold off on buying the Clinique until I try the Hauschka... I get so excited about products I like that I tend to get tunnel vision Embarassed

Anyway, so far so good on the Clinique. I still have enough in the sample for about two days more of use so I shall follow up when I'm done with it. This does feel much lighter on the skin than Tarte (which was already pretty light) but it doesn't have as much coverage.

I uses it last summer and liked it a lot. A nice glow and a good protection in one!

I had no idea it was even out that long! Looks like I'm rather behind with the Clinique offerings - mainly because all of my mag subscriptions have ended and I haven't renewed Embarassed

I have the moisture sheer tint in bisque/blonde in spf 15 gel like formula and have had this for about 4 months and love it!

Have combi skin and have tried a few tinted moisturisers, benefit, dermalogica, clarins etc. This one does not make my skin greasy gives a lovely shade and just a hint of coverage, thumbs up Very Happy

I finished my sample and still really like this. I haven't had a chance to get to the shops yet to try out the other shades though - the one I had was nice but I think definitely too dark seeing as winter is coming... I will be trying the Dr Hauschka tinted moisturiser in the coming days to compare as well.
