Pixi H2O Skintint

Ok... summer is coming despite the weather today! The summer IS coming! OK?!?! Tinted moisturisers and sunscreen ahead! In my quest to seek out the ultimate tinted moisturiser... I've discovered this...


Pixi H2O Skintint is a water based tinted face gel that states it’s ‘hydrating, long lasting and water resistant with a semi-matte finish that lasts all day’ and it does most of these just not all day! It comes in three shades Cream, Warm and Nude, me being of the sallow skinned variety I inevitably ended up with ‘nude’ which is perfect…  




It’s very hydrating and light which is perfect for the coming months or for bringing on your jollies… foundation is a no no in the heat for me and this does have enough coverage … heat and foundation do clogged pores and irritated skin make! 



I was surprised that it was more pigmented than your average tinted moisturiser and whilst it didn’t cover up the 'rosie cheeks' entirely but it did tone down the redness and even out my skin tone… my skin just looked brighter… and because its got chamomile and lavender it looked a lot calmer … 



It’s got a very ‘gel’ like texture when you pump it out first but is has that ‘bursting’ effect of colour once its applied … 



Tangent: The pump dispenser is perfect for travelling so you can only use what you need to…  and because it’s water based, it quickly becomes very fluid and it feels lovely and cool on your skin…  it lets your skin breath a little … 


Sadly because its a water based product it doesn’t last as long as you might like, I got 4 hours out of the first application but I’d say setting it with a powder would sort that out for dinner al fresco in the Med … *snaps fingers* aaaaand awake! 

Only down side… no SPF! gggrrrrrrr… but if you bring it on your hols you’ll be lashing on the sunscreen anyway! 


All in all, I love it ... if they sorted the SPF out it'd be a killer product! 
Top tip… give it a good shake before you use it...
