'Amazon just dropped my go-to tinted SPF to its cheapest price on the high street'
With talks of another mini heatwave across parts of the UK and summer on the horizon, it's going to get a bit sunnier. That means an SPF is an absolute essential.
Now, as a beauty writer, I know the importance of wearing sunscreen all year round, but we tend to think of it a lot more when the warmer season tends to roll around.
One that I have recently adopted into my own skincare routine, much like the rest of TikTok, is the cult Garnier Vitamin C Daily UV Brightening Fluid Sheer Glow with SPF50 - and it's just been dropped to its cheapest price on Amazon.
Usually retailing at £12.99, the online retailer has cut it to just £6.85, while rivals Boots and Superdrug still have it at full price. Considering I called it my new go-to for "a summer glow", Amazon's deal is worth bagging ahead of summer.
Said to be so popular that it "sold one every minute" on the TikTok shop, this brightening fluid has become loved for its lightweight texture that has been designed to be "super blendable" for all skin tones and types.
Using both vitamin C and a high sun protection of SPF50, it doesn't just keep you protected from harmful UV rays, but it can also work to reduce pigmentation and the appearance of dark spots caused by overexposure to the sun.
Aside from offering high sun protection and a non-greasy formula, I loved the tinted glow that was created due to the mineral pigments that made it "look like I caught the sun in all the right ways."
For anyone unsure on the 'one shade suits all skin tones', an alternative is the Beauty of Joseon Daily Tinted Fluid Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF30 (50ml), which costs £15.30 at Boots and is available in a few different shades.
Meanwhile, another option that offers a sheer tint is the Bondi Sands SPF 50+ Everyday Tinted Face Fluid (50ml) that is currently available to buy for £7.99 on Lookfantastic.
However, it's not just me that has been singing the praises of the Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Fluid, as it has amassed a 4.4 rating and over 4,000 reviews on Amazon alone, as shoppers say that it is "the best thing ever" and gives a "subtle, dewy look."

Beauty deal of the week
Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.
Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation.
Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume.
Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang.
The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy.
One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!"
A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

While another devoted fan wrote: "I treated myself to this for holiday and OMG you need to try it — It feels like a moisturiser, dries instantly so was able to put makeup on pretty quick, it lasted all day in the sun no problem AND the glow made it look like I had foundation on. I've decided to make it part of my daily makeup kit."
Anyone with a combination skin type may find it not suitable, as one such shopper said: "Unfortunately, it is not suitable for my skin type. I have a combination type and made more oily. It is a shame."
Another happy shopper said: "This is really good if you love a subtle dewy look. Makes your skin look less dull. I will be buying more once I have ran out."
