Wet N Wild Ultimate Sheer Tinted Moisturizer in Sunkissed

In my last haul, I told you guys about the WnW Tinted Moisturizer I got at Walgreens. I know how expensive a makeup hobby can get and I get so excited when I find quality cosmetics at a really good price to share with you guys. Sure, I love my high end cosmetics (Armani, why do I love you?!?!) but I love a great bargain too :) This TM is currently at a 4.2/5.0 rating with a 79% buyback on Makeupalley. If you're familiar with Makeupalley, you know this is a pretty good rating... especially for WnW. It was only $3.99 plus BOGO last week, so I figured, why not?!

Here's a picture of me with it on in natural light standing by my window. The pictures were resized but that's as far as my editing goes. I mixed the TM with a bit of lotion and stippled it on with my MAC 187, giving me a really smooth airbrushed finish. Love that brush!



PRODUCT:
-Gives more coverage than a TM
-More like a light to medium coverage
-Lighter/sheer and glides on easier when mixed with a lotion
-Clean, natural finish and feel
-Not shimmery, not matte, just natural
-Texture and finish reminds me of MAC F&B
-Has 5.6% titanium dioxide, so some sun protection

COLOR:
-Sunkissed is a medium beige/golden shade, good for NC30-NC37 skintones
-I believe there are only 3 or 4 shades :(
-The color selection is lacking but these do blend in pretty well to your skintone

PRICE:
-Super cheap at $3.99!

PACKAGING:
-1 oz tube(same amount of product as Revlon Colorstay)
-Hygienic squeeze tube with twist off cap

Overall:
Since this is a lighter coverage foundation, it felt clean on the skin and not heavy at all. It didn't break me out... something that usually happens when I test out new foundations, especially heavier ones like Revlon Colorstay. This would be wonderful for the warmer months because it feels so light on the skin. If you're looking to try out a new foundation, this is perfect because it works really well as a light/medium coverage foundation and has a wonderful price point. I love the hygienic squeeze tube bottle. I'd say one downside of this product is the poor color selection. I happened to find a shade that matched perfectly with my skintone. These are light and do blend in really well so there shouldn't be too much trouble as long as you find a decent match. Most drugstores like Walgreen's and CVS will let you exchange or return the product if it doesn't work for you or if you get the wrong shade, even if you've tried it. Just keep your receipt and any packaging. The only other downside I could find was that this was more like a light foundation. Sure, this is better for some of those (like me!) out there who prefer slightly more coverage than a TM but may be dissapointing for those who are looking for a very sheer tinted moisturizer. A solution to this would be mixing it with a bit of lotion. I think I will continue to use this method when I'm having good skin days :)
