Tinted moisturiser HELP

I have a problem!

I have quite dry sensitive skin. My skin is really even in shade and quite soft.

Anyway, I dont use foundation, prefering instead to use tinted moisturiser. I dont really need as much cover as a foundation gives and its only since I turned 30 that I have been using tinted moisturiser. I Didnt need to use anything before that!

I have always used Boots 17 tinted moisturiser and I bulk bought a few of these a couple of years ago as they were on offer.

Now I am coming to the end of my supply, and have found that I now cannot get this product. I have looked in loads of boots stores and on line and no joy. It seems as though they dont make it anymore.

Can anyone recommend a good tinted moisturiser for me to try? (NOt too expensive!)

    While shopping in Superdrug recently I noticed the new Nivea Visage Young range. They have a product called Be Beautiful tinted moisturiser.

    I haven't personally used this product but have read a few reviews and it seems to be recommened.

    You could always buy a 'good' foundation that's exactly the right shade for you (get help if you need it!) and just mix a smidgin with moisturiser each day - that's what I do when it's summer and my skin is good (right now on this side of the world!).

    I use the Nivea Visage standard tinted moisturiser, often on offer for well under £6:00 in either Boots or Superdrug. I think its normal price is £5:99, but I never pay this.

    I've used this for years (I'm 36) and I think it's excellent. It really does even out my skin tone and I don't believe you can tell I've got it on. It gives a "healthy glow" rather than a fake tan which I prefer.

    However, I would never wear it alone, putting it straight on to my skin. There wouldn't be enough moisture in it, in my opinion. I put on Oil of Olay Complete Care Fluid on first, then put the Nivea tint on straight afterwards. The Olay provides the all important SPF 15 and allows the tint to glide on beautifully.

    I used to use the Boots 17 tinted moisturiser too but now use the Boots Natural Collection one. It is v.good and v.cheap (bonus!) as is the entire range and it is all just as good as the expensive stuff. I think you pay a lot for the packaging with the expensive brands.
    Lots of love,

    Does anyone know if there is any difference between the Nivea Young range of tinted moisturiser and the Nivea Visage Tinted moisturiser? I've used them both in the past but am currently using the 'Young' range? If they are essentially the same product in different packaging I will buy the cheapest from now on but just want a few opinions??
