    I only used it once and didn't like it at all. The shade seemed OK but it gave me a very shiny look which wasn't flattering, I expected coverage something like a tinted moisturiser but it wasn't as good as any tinted moisturiser I've used before. I've given it to my daughter to try as I think it's probably more suited to younger skin. I paid 9.99 from Superdrug but think I wasted my money!

    DD (23 ) bought it a couple of weeks ago, thought it no different to any average tinted moisturiser. She didn't rate it at all thought it was a waste of money.

    Certainly don't think it'll be doing miracles for saggy middle-aged faces (and I've got one too:o)

    Better spend on a decent firming cream (Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect, I personally find good for firming) and an anti-ageing foundation imo. Get yourself round the different beauty counters and start having it applied, then tell them you want to think about it and take your time to decide, when you've trialled lots of different ones, if you want my advice!!

    just to offer a different opinion - i bought this a couple of weeks ago and love it! since wearing it have had loads of comments on how well i look ( and that never happens!)
    it does give a slightly 'dewy' look and does not cover anything like foundation.
    btw i'm 40 so it doesn't just suit younger skin
  • I ordered a free sample as I don't want to waste money on it.. hope I get it! I like tinted moisturizers (using Stila at the moment), but I have oily skin...

    I bought this and wasn't impressed.

    Too dark really; but didn't even my skin tone out at all, it also left my face really shiney and i could feel it all day - it felt tacky and horrid
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler
  • I have never tried it, but would love it if companies offered free samples as even £10 can end up being a waste of money if it dosen't suit your skin type.

    Seeing as I am not allowed to link to my review *le sigh* I have removed the link even though people found it helpful :( If you still want to see the review just google Bianca's Beauty Blog and it should come up. Hope it helps someone :)

    Too dark really

    I have three friends who found that even the lightest shade was too dark for them.
