I hope the fall season has been treating you well so far.
Today I'm going to share my thoughts on the highly sought after brand Drunk Elephant. More specifically their Umbra Tinte Physical Daily Defense (tinted moisturizer). Curated with ingredients like grape juice extract and marula oil it boasts lightweight spf 30 protection, as well as the ability to minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
Upon initial application the facial lotion feels nice. Not too oily or heavy on the skin, but definitely more substantial in comparison to other lightweight gel formulations I've tried in the past. I also do enjoy that it is completely fragrance free. As someone who can be sensitive to even the lightest of scents, this is a major bonus. Unfortunately as far as the hint of tint is concerned, it's definitely more on the hint side. In fact I didn't notice any significant difference in my skin appearance wise. When I examined my face up close in the vanity the only thing I could see was a very slight shimmer. So you do get a slight glow with this tinted moisturizer, but not in the way I expected. It was almost as if I had taken an extremely fine mica glitter and applied it to my face. It wasn't really the healthy glow from within I had anticipated.
Overall I don't think I'll be repurchasing this beauty once it's gone. I wanted to love it, but I'm the type of girl who wants a tinted moisturizer that packs a bit more tint (at least one that's somewhat noticeable anyway, especially considering the price). On the plus side, a little goes a long way so if you were wanting a facial lotion with spf AND awesome ingredients than this might just be your Holy Grail product!
