l'oréal advanced suncare silky sheer bb lotion, tinted

Whomever named this wonder lotion totally nailed it, it is indeed silky sheer and I love it!  I have never worn "makeup", that is I have never worn foundation, on a regular basis, maybe once a year, maybe.  I do like a tinted moisturizer, not so much for covering, but for a hint of tint.  I do have a tube of Maybelline Dream BB Cream, but I find it looks a little too make-upy as well as leaving my borderline shiny instead of dewy.  So when I was at ULTA a trip or two ago, to buy something else entirely, this little bottle the color of sunshine caught my eye.

It is a BB lotion with all the benefits of being a BB: 

• protects (SPF 30 or 50+, YES, broad spectrum 30 or 50+ with Hexiplex!)
• corrects  (vitamin E and grape seed) 
• evens (sheer tint, NOT full coverage)
• smooths
• brightens
• controls oil (more like a liquid than lotion, it dries to a matte/powdery finish)

I wear a facial oil underneath for a bit of moisturizer as well as my eye cream then the super awesome, L'Oréal Silky Sheer BB Lotion.  My skin is smooth, slightly tinted and matte and it stays matte, not a chalky matte either.  Give it a try, let me know your thoughts as well!
