Vichy Lumineuse Tinted Moisturiser...

Vichy Laboratories Lumineuse Sheer Radiance Tinted moisturiser. 30ml.

Vichy honestly hasn't been a brand i have used before, so when i was browsing and found this Tinted Moisturiser i was curious to say the least.
Vichy is actually he number one pharmacy skincare brand in European Continental Pharmacies and it all sounds like they have tried to do lots of different things in this one bottle.
They claim to moisturise the skin whilst protecting it using fruit acids, vitamin A and provitamin B5 which is supposed to help stimulate the skin cells, it also contains UVA/UVB filters to provide a radiant complexion.
I am always quite sceptical when one small product claims to do so much, but i will get onto results in a moment.
They have developed this product with the help of health professionals and believe every persons skin type is different and needs different benefits, so they believe this formulation will help people with all different skin types.
What i really liked about this was they tested this on sensitive skin, so they must have worked very hard to get this just right. Its hypoallergenic and contains their own Vichy thermal spring water, which all sounds very nice!

They do say there is no need to apply a moisturiser before hand, which is fine if you have normal/oily skin, but with my dry skin i think this does look better with a little bit of a moisturiser underneath, just to give it a little helping hand.

The colour i use is Peach number 2. Which when i opened it, looked very very dark and i was very worried how this would turn out. They really have the worst colour range for this, which does let them down. If your very pale, like snow white, then this will look very orange on you, but when i have a tan, this compliments my skin beautifully.
I did find once i blend it into the skin it does lighten to your skin slightly, but it does definitely have that Orange tone about it, so be careful.

It does have a slight fragrance about it, but its not overpowering in any way.

I personally use a brush to apply it to the skin but you can use your fingertips, it just depends on what you prefer. I find it gives a more sheer finish if applied with fingers.

I have never been a tinted moisturiser fan, I'm defiantly a foundation kinda girl. However, i think i may have been converted.

It honestly leaves your skin silky soft, looking healthy and glowing and has a good coverage.
I just go over any blemishes with concealer afterwards.

At £12.50 i think it is a respectable price, although i know you can get it slightly cheaper at a pharmacy, i have seen it at £9.99 before.
