Saie Slip Tint SPF 35 Tinted Moisturizer – Light Coverage Moisturizer + Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunscreen with Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid – Shade Four (1.35 oz)

Clean, feels good, protection!
love the sheer color and how it goes on. Gives your face a nice glow and not oily. Checked it on the YUKA app and its clean!!! That is most important to me….

Worth every penny!
Should have bought sooner! This is the perfect middle to a full coverage foundation, but when you also want more then a super light tinted moisturizer. Sheer light weight, but with a little coverage (for my gals with acne marks, this is for you) i love the way it looks! So happy with the quality and this purchase! Day 1, 5 hours later and still looks great.

Good For Dry Skin Only!
I have a love-hate relationship with tinted moisturizers. I love the dewy skin look and the luminous glow, but I hate the greasy feeling. And as a grown-up with medium size pores and some redness, I need coverage that “covers” but doesn’t look heavy or too matte. Oh, the joys of getting older! I really wanted to love this – the color matched my skin perfectly and it had a beautiful luminous finish, but the greasy feeling just made me want to wash it off my face and it didn’t really make me look younger. There was just too much “slip” and honestly, I couldn’t wait to get this stuff off my skin! Ugh! I think this formula would be perfect for anyone with very dry skin, however. Sadly, I decided to return this one and my hunt for the perfect tinted moisturizer is ongoing! Until then, I will stick with my favorites: Haus Labs Tricyclone foundation, Bobbi Brown Longwear foundation, Jones Road foundation sticks, and my ultimate favorite for a natural finish…Chanel Aqua Lumière!

I WANT to love this – but Jury is Still Out..
I write this as a devotee to Australian Gold Botanical SPF 50 Tinted Sunscreen BB Cream. I wanted to find something with a bit less sheerness – a bit more “color” while not being an actual foundation. I have found that Australian Gold works well with my 2 foundation favorites: iT Your Skin But Better & Sephora Best Skin Ever.This is a review of Saie Slip Tint SPF 35 Tinted Moisturizer – Light Coverage Moisturizer + Broad Spectrum Zinc Oxide Sunscreen – Shade Three + Half:My first impression of Saie – upon opening it – was that I wasn’t impressed with the smell… it seemed a bit chemical-like? Hard to describe. It wasn’t pleasant but it wasn’t awful either. It went on very well, easy to blend, creamy. Compared to Australian Gold – which dries to a matte finish, it doesn’t dry – it stays moist. This is both good and bad. Good because I have time to then apply a touch of my foundation over it, and blend it. Bad because it stays a bit shiny/wet looking – and needs a finishing powder to temper the shine. I found that Saie would not blend with my iT foundation – it balled up, it was streaky, it settled in my lines and pores & is very hard to blend. Saie did “ok” with the Sephora – not too bad.. but the Saie alone settles in fine lines, especially under the eyes and around the mouth/nose. If I use the Saie with ONLY my Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Concealer – it works well. I blend the concealer out toward my upper cheek bone – then blend/feather out – and I then don’t use any foundation at all… just top with a finishing powder. So this product DOES settle in lines, creases, corner of nose, smile lines, and especially under eyes… but.. if you work with it a bit, and use a good quality brush, you can work the “settling” out. At the end of the day – I find that it looks pretty close to the same as when I applied it – but – I do get a bit of shine in my T-zone by the end of the day. When I use Australian Gold – I get no shine, no settling into lines/creases, it works with all of my other make-ups/foundations, and looks the same at the end of the day as when I first applied it.The biggest difference between the two products is that Saie has more coverage, and Australian Gold is much more shear/transparent/barely there. Saie CAN be worn on its own as an extremely light foundation – as it offers color to the surface of your skin, whereas Australian Gold seems to absorb into the skin. AG is MUCH more creamy and hydrating – but dries to a matte finish, and Saie applies creamy- if not wet feeling – and drying to a less-wet, but not matte or dry finish. AG has no odor/smell, and while Saie has a noticeable odor/smell – it dissipates after application, and now it actually isn’t as noticeable as it was initially upon opening the product.. so that might be a temporary odor due to newness.Do I recommend Saie: Yes! I do. I would definitely try it as I feel it might apply differently to different skin types. I would use some kind of applicator to ensure better coverage (vs using your fingers) – and I have found a brush is better than a sponge.Does it work with foundation? Yes & No. Worked with one, and not with the other.Can it be used alone as an ultra light foundation? Yes! And it feels good on the skin, light & not greasy, but it does have shine. I now use both AG & Saie equally.. but my dry skin on my cheeks works better with Saie while my T-zone works better with AG! :). It’s a toss up.In summary – Saie is not my holy grail, but it is a likable product that hasn’t caused any break-outs or issues with my skin, goes on nicely & I’ll probably purchase it again. $36 is, to me, pricey. You get far more bang for your buck with Australian gold (SO MUCH PRODUCT in the tube – it’s a WOW on that).
