100% Pure Tinted Moisturizer

100% Pure is the only cosmetics line that uses fruit pigments instead of minerals or synthetic colors. Since the pigments of fruit contain all the good for you antioxidants, seems like a great idea! And fun! Something different! You can buy 100% Pure body wash, lotion, and scrubs online or at a few stores like Ulta and The Limited, but most of the cosmetics can only be found on QVC. There are lots of cute, fun palettes and combos to try, too. 100% Pure is completely Chemically Independent, with ingredient lists reading more like organic recipes than skincare/cosmetics. Their image is young and fun, so step aside boring product lines!

I purchased the Tinted Moisturizer in White Peach from QVC.com. It comes in 3 shades, all of which are medium shades, but White Peach is the lightest. It is definitely on the darker side for my fair skin and I can only wear it in the summer or when I'm wearing sunless tanner. The consistency is much like light coverage foundation, and you can apply it to achieve sheer to light coverage. It is blendable, but you have to watch it near the hairline. It has SPF 20 UVA & UVB sun protection. It's not moisturizing enough for my combination skin to use alone (without another moisturizer) in the winter, but probably would be in the summer. I think this would be great for the summer, but I'm not sure it'll last that long...the bottle says to use within 6 months of opening. There's so much product though that you'd never use it all within 6 months! For tinted moisturizer this is one of the best I've tried, but there needs to be additional shades to choose from--just one shade lighter would be perfect for me.

BUY IT!

You actually can buy it a shade lighter if you go to the 100% pure web site. The lightest color is called Creme and it's one shade lighter than the White peach.
