I just got my order in from Sephora:
Smashbox O glow-- seems really cool! I love the color it produces on my face!

Becca Beach Tint-- the color is gorgeous and rich, yet really natural looking. It doesn't feel like other "all day" lip color either. I don't like those because they are gunky.

I need to get some input, per my dermatologist, on foundations with SPF, as well as a good skin lotion/moisturizer with SPF as well.

Suggestions, anyone?

I don't wear foundation a lot so I can't help you there, but a great moisturizer with SPF is Philosophy's Pigment of Your Imagination. If you're looking for a tinted moisturizer that has SPF, whatever you do, don't get BalmShelter by TheBalm. I ordered it from Sephora and had to return it becuase it was so thick and oily that I felt like I was smearing paint spackle all over my face.

moisturizer with SPF: i swear by dramitcally different moisturizer by clinique. the gel works well with my oily skin. i know they also make it in a lotion, so that would go well with people with normal skin.

update on studio mist: i ordered some from the website, but then sunday i trekked out to georgetown to go to the mac store to make sure this product was something i wanted. i LOVED it. you spray it on a foundation brush then apply to the skin. it goes on damp then dries in a couple of minutes. it is light and non-smeary. it evened out my skin tone, it was more like a tinted moisturizer than an actual foundation. it will be great for me during the summer - not too heavy. did i mention i LOVED it? in addition to getting the one frome online, i bought another in the store. yeah! (note: i normally wear nw45. "deep dark" matched perfectly.)

Awwww, dangit! Now I gotta go try it. . . I have some MAC (that I haven't been wearing) and as of late I've been doing the Bare Minerals thing, now you're gonna make me try this stuff! But there's no rule that you can't have two different foundations, right? btw, my studio Fix shade is NW45 as well.

Bare Minerals has an SPF 15 in all of their foundations and a 20 SPF in a few of their concealers. Bare Minerals also has the skin cancer foundation seal of approval.

Philosophy has Pigment of your Imagination which is a tinted moisturizer. I just ordered some to try and it should be here by the end of the week.

Clarins also makes some great moisturizers for the face that contain sunscreen. Their sun care line is also great to use as a moisturizer.
