In the summer, there's only one thing worse than applying a thick, goopy foundation before stepping out into the sweltering heat, and that is having that thick, goopy foundation start to melt and gather into pools on your face.

It's probably best to switch to a tinted moisturizer in the summer. But which one will offer a sheer coverage, with the right amount of color?

Enter Smashbox's Sheer Focus Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15!

Listen, there are some things you can skimp on. Your skin isn't one of them. This summer, ditch the foundation, and pick up a tube of this stuff. You'll undoubtedly be grateful...and so will your healthy, summer skin!

You had to have woken up pretty early in the a.m. if you had wanted to take advantage of the cosmetics settlement. As a result of a class-action settlement, beauty companies like Clarins, Clinique, and Chanel began handing out free products today, and for the remainder of the week while supplies last.

All that was necessary was a signature attesting to that fact that you've purchased makeup within a certain time period, and you were given $25 worth of goodies. (Sorry, beauty companies. Your loss is my gain! Cha-ching!)

I'd nearly forgotten all about today--a beauty junkie's holiday! Though I was only able to nab a Clinique moisturizer, and was slightly disappointed in my failure to obtain the Lancôme Fatale Mascara I'd been secretly meditating over since learning of this settlement, I'm still happy that I walked away with something for nothing!

So, can you still partake in the luscious beauty giveaway? Perhaps, if you visit a mall in Smalltown, America, in the next seven days, where they haven't heard of Estée Lauder, I'd say you might stand a chance. It's worth a shot. If not, I'm sure many of our fellow Americans will be auctioning off their free products on eBay. Good luck!
