I need to make it very clear from the off that I do not have an abundant disposable income. I have a mortgage, bills, and, crucially, two children in full-time nursery to pay for. Safe to say that after all of that money has exited my account, I'm not left with much to play with.

Therefore, I don't have the means to be dropping big money on luxury beauty products. So when I found out that the that I had recently started using (on a daily basis) retailed for £98 I had to take a minute to compose myself. Don't get me wrong, I'm not immune to the pull of a luxe product.

"Bathe me in " and "bury me with my " I say. And if you were to look in my make-up bag you would see quite a few that would set you back about fifty pounds. However, £98 is a slight step up.

The trouble is, price aside, I think The Super Tinted Hydrator is absolutely fantastic. This incredible skin tint is the definition of a - it's part , part . It's so good that after just one use, I told the rest of the Marie Claire Beauty Team that they to try it.

So let's get into why I was so insistent...

The true magic of this product lies in its formula packed with skin-loving ingredients. U Beauty launched the original The Super Hydrator moisturiser, which has a fairly quiet, but dedicated fan base, that boasts five different weights of hyaluronic acid to flood every layer of the skin with hydration. It also contains peptides, which, in case you've not heard, are the must-have ingredient for improving skin tone and fir.
