Would you pay more for tinted moisturiser

I'm torn between the Boots No7 one at £12 or the new Clinique one at £21, is it worth paying more?

  • I honestly don't think there's much difference between moisturisers, tinted or otherwise.
    This one is very good. Shop around for deals.

    Personally I prefer BB creams to ordinary tinted moisturisers. They have high SPF, more coverage and yet feel very light. They usually come in a couple of shades and you can pick them up relatively cheaply on eBay. Or Garnier has just brought one out in the UK too.

    I use a moisturiser with a touch of foundation (olay total effects)
    I find it really smooth without being heavy like a full foundation, so the best of both worlds for me.

    The tinted moisturisers i have tried in the past tended to leave my skin feeling greasy for a little while after.

    No idea either what a BB cream is.

    garnier bb cream is £9.99, there was a huge display of them in superdrug the other day.
    apparently they moisturize, give good coverage and spf 15.

    TBH I've never been that fussed with tinted moisturisers - I don't like looking shiny so I always end up caking loads of powder on with tinted moisturiser, and I don't find it covers anything that well (which is the whole point). I don't think I'd pay £21 for one, that's for certain - you could just mix foundation with moisturiser for a lighter effect?
