Tinted moisturiser

Dustyblinds

Hi all. My current tinted moisturiser (Nivea) is running out so I'm looking for a new one.
Does anyone have any preferences? I used to like the body shops vitamin E one but last one I got seemed a bit watery.
Also, are bb creams any good as an alternative? I only use the tinted moisturiser as a quick cover up for work, my skin isn't too bad, I just want something to even out my skin a bit if you see what I mean.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Dusty

I have just bought Boots Time Delay BB cream, it's OK there only seemed to be pale and medium, so got medium but am having to tone it down with some pale foundation. It feels really moisturising and a little goes a long way. Worth what I paid , about £7/£8 . I have used Clinique tinted moisturiser and like it but it's about twice the price. HTH

Lidl's BB cream is excellent, and cheap too! They don't always have it in but you can get it on eBay.

Thank you both for the replies. I think I might go for a bb cream for a change.
I like the sound of the boots one if its moisturising, thank you

The Body Shop's BB cream is fantastic as well! It comes out of the tube looking white/silvery but then adapts to the colour of your skin as you put it on. (Magic!) It's also super-moisturising (can look a little shiny if you apply too much, but I usually add a little bit of powder on top and it's perfect!)

Faust7 I think I've used that one before, dd had some, thanks for the reminder!

Just a word of warning.

The Lidl BB cream contains Methylisothiazolonone (I think I spelled that correctly). I had a really bad reaction to it, very itchy eyes. I'm not a person who normally has bad reactions so I now avoid this chemical.

I have really pale skin and most creams turn orange on me. Im using the JML Mineral Magic powder and its better than I expected.

I have really pale skin and I buy my BB cream on Ebay from Korea. I use MissHa BB cream - in 13 over winter and 21 over summer. It's really good but also good for your skin and not much more than your regular tinted moisturiser/BB cream - I tend to pay between £9-£11 per tube (incl shipping).

I use Missha perfect cover BB cream in 21 and 23 in summer. It has the best straying power that I have found in a BB cream and has a reasonable level of coverage.

I think you should try bio-oils as they are natural and more effective than the
BB creams!

would a bio-oil work the same as a tinted moisturiser? I mean I use it as a sort of light cover for my skin, it isn't really bad but I don't want to wear make-up every day so just wear the tinted moisturiser instead.
