Moisturizer?

Having run all over town and even down to Annapolis where I first found it, I have discovered that tinted moisturizer is "out" - all that's left is discounted stuff and self-tanning moisturizers, which are not at all what I want.

What I really want is Burt's Bees tinted moisturizer, which no longer exists; what I'll make do with is Milan's tinted moisturizer, which is half off, presumably because it is about to cease existing.

So... what moisturizers do y'all use, tinted or not? I'm going to need something in a couple of months.

As for body moisturizer, I highly recommend Jergens Shea Butter Cream. It's really rich, just a step less so than that thick, body-shop mango butter stuff. It's got a light brown sugar/mango sort of smell, absorbs quickly and is just about the only thing I've ever found that makes my calves feel normal and not all dry alligator skin-ish during the winter.

And now you know way more than you wanted to about my skin. Yay TMI

AND, because I forgot, as for light tinted coverage, I really like Clinique's city block. You still might want a light layer of moisturizer on under it, but it's very sheer, and in warmer months, it's all you need for a very light finish with some tint.

Getting my complexion to do anything practically requires kabuki-face makeup - I've been using tinted moisturizer, then mousse foundation and then setting it with powdered mineral foundation - and it takes all that to look like I'm not wearing makeup at all - but that I also don't look like I have really blotchy skin.

I've been pretty happy with the Boots body butter for the rest of my bod; it's just that I need a good - and gentle - facial moisturizer, because I've got really sensitive and blotchy skin.
