laura mercier tinted moisturizer swatch

this is another late post. i asked my sister to get me some of sephora samples a couple months ago, but i didn't get the chance to swatch it when i got them last christmas. and here i am trying it and surprised. i asked them to get me urban decay naked foundation and laura mercier tinted moisturizer. i always wanted to try both of them but since no sephora or any of that brand here in indonesia, i couldn't try any.

this time i was going to show you the laura mercier.
laura mercier tinted moisturizer had 2 variants, the regular and the oil free type. i got both.
what it is: a perfect blend of skincare and make up that helps control oil-breakthrough and gives skin a sheer hint of color for a health, natural glow.
what it does : this lightweight formula provides ideal protection from the sun's harmful, damaging rays with broad spectrum SPF 20 UVB/UVA sunscreen. It also controls oil-breakthrough with hydration to prevent dryness and soften and ease fine, dry lines. An antioxidant complex of vitamins C and E acts as a free radical scavenger to protect the skin from even the most aggressive effects of the environment, all while extremely long-wearing color stays true and wears evenly in a natural, semi-matte finish. Non-comedogenic and dermatologist and allergy-tested to minimize the risk of irritation, it is perfect for all skin types, including sensitive ones.

when i swatched it on my hand, it was creamy. it was quite thick, so a little just enough. but i found it a little bit hard to blend. probably since it was more than 3 months in the tube.
color: i told my sister to get me the lightest one, but since it was their friend that went to sephora, probably she was confused too. i got both in nude which according to the website was suitable for fair to light skin tones, but when i swatched on my hand, both were darker than my skin. i didn't know which was wrong, the tube wrongly put inside the package, or  the BA wrote the incorrect shade. when i saw nude on web, it was light enough, but what i had on me was pretty dark. i didn't know..
and there was a different between oil free and regular one. the oil free was a bit darker than the regular one, though it was written both on nude shade.

i won't try the oil free on my face since it was pretty dark, but i'll try the regular one.
