Product Review: Boots No.7 Soft & Sheer Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15



 Boots No7 Soft and Sheer Tinted Moisturizer - Fair (1.69 oz.)
So many of us spent countless hours at the department stores, drug stores, spas and other make up counters looking for that perfect foundation/tinted moisturizer that will make our skin radiant, flawless, and as natural as possible. Just like you, we tried many, many different sheer, matte, full-coverage and other forms of this type of potion that promised to make our face less oily, more moisturized, less irritated and glowing. We cannot say that we have found a simple solution but after trying so many products, we think we can see the difference between a good vs. poor quality product. Today, we would like to draw your attention to Boots No7 Soft and Sheer Tinted Moisturizer - Fair (1.69 oz.). The claims for this product are that it enhances your natural beauty with its translucent, sheer wash of "barely there" color that evens our your skin tone and gives you a radiant, natural glow. It contains SPF 15 sunscreen to protect your skin from the aging effects of the sun and moisturizes for up to 12 hours. What else can we ask for? We find this tinted moisturizer delivers on its claims.

This product is a great find for those with normal to slightly oily or slightly dry skin. It goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly.  We would recommend this product for those with acne free complexion seeking some coverage for larger pores and more even skin tone. The tint provides very sheer coverage, which can be combined with a little bit of powder for a day look. The added powder will provide the matte look for those of us with slightly oily skin. If you use a concealer, do so after the tinted moisturizer is applied and before the powder, for oily skin. The SPF 15 is provided by Titanium Dioxide (1.9%) and Octinoxate (5%), which offer state of the art sun protection for our skin. All three shades are recommended.

Why Glamorize?



With a little skill and effort every woman can look her best any day of the week. At Glamorized Skin, we are passionate about making it happen.

Our skin deserves attention and our face deserves to look its best. It is the first thing that people see when they meet us. It is what we see in the mirror every day. It is what is looking back at our husbands, boyfriends, and friends. When you have the knowledge of taking care of your skin properly and using make up in the best way that suits your face and personality, you feel confident and beautiful. You worry less about how others see you, because you know that you look your personal best.

Have you ever seen a woman who could look so much better if she only put some mascara on? How about a woman that looks great every single time you see her? The skills and information we will review here and the resulting confidence creates the difference you see between these two women. At Glamorized Skin, we will help you find the right routine for your skin care and make up and the proper products to aid you. A make up routine should be short and sweet when we are quickly getting ready in the morning and more thorough for an elegant evening out. Most importantly, a woman should be as comfortable with her routine as she is with brushing her teeth. The truth is, women do not always know how to bring out features they want others to notice the most, whether it is the almond shaped eyes, a cute puffy pout or those cheeks that are just calling for a squeeze.

This blog is about You and your skin care and make up. There is no single solution that fits everyone and we will use our experience and expertise to guide you to a more confident You. We are passionate about make up and putting our best face forward. If you become our regular reader, you will be too.
