Clinique moisture surge tinted moisturiser!

Hello lovelies!

I picked up this Clinique sample what feels like ages ago, but it's only been a few months! 

I asked if I could sample something that was a light coverage, for days when I don't feel like my skin needs too much on it. The lovely Clinique make up artist gave me this, and the sample has lasted me forever!

The sample I have is of the 'Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15'. Clinique say:

"Winner of the Elle Beauty Awards 2011 for Best Tinted Moisturizer.

Smooth on an instant moisture boost with SPF protection and a hint of skin-perfecting colour. Refreshingly lightweight formula provides a no-makeup look and feel, yet covers imperfections with a natural, hydrating touch. Oil-free."

For a while I was using it on my skin every day, and I've really been loving it. I loved the Superbalanced foundation slightly more, which I reviewed here.

In my mind, it is essentially very similar to the BB creams that exploded everywhere recently. I've not actually tried any as yet, but if they're similar to this I can imagine I would like them! 

The colour that I was given is perfect for my skin tone, as I've found with other Clinique skin products that I've used recently. It gives just enough coverage to make my skin look clear and flawless when I'm having a good skin day. I've been using it a lot recently, and I think I might even pick up the full size for £21.50. I've found that this has really good staying power, and when I'm taking my make up off in the evening it's still noticeably on my skin.

I don't really like the consistency of this much, because it's very liquid-y (to use the technical term...), so I can imagine it might not be so fun to get out of anything other than this little sample pot. 

I think a redeeming feature is the smell. It's just the average Clinique kind of smell, but I absolutely love it. It just feels nice to put on your skin in the morning! I've been using this just recently too, and I think it has been helping my dry skin. I don't have exceptionally dry skin, but this helps just that little bit more now it's getting colder to make a difference.

Have you thought of trying this product? Any other Clinique foundation recommendations would be lovely, I'm looking at trying quite a few of them out!
