Estee Lauder BB cream or Sheer Tint Release?

I'm thinking of getting one of these two products but not sure which to go for. They are pretty expensive so don't want to make a mistake. Can anyone recommend either product or help me make a decision? Thanks

I'd go for the bb cream as it has a higher spf.
It has really good coverage too I think.

Go to a counter and try both. They might give you a little sample pot of each.

I have the bb cream from Estee Lauder. It's nice, but the light colour is quite dark and yellow-toned - I can only use it during summer, and only if I've gotten quite a lot of sun. It's a tad darker than MACs NC20 (but lighter than NC25)/Diorskin Nude 020 colours. I also think it oxidizes a bit.

The coverage is very light. It's also quite perfumed.

According to WebMD: ""Makeup does not provide enough coverage," she says. "You need seven times the normal amount of foundation and 14 times the normal amount of powder to get the sun protection factor on the label. No one does this.""
I'm not sure I trust that the BB cream would give the correct protection in the sun.

It is however quite nice for a very light tinted moisturiser. I've just bought the Laura Mercier oil-free tinted moisturiser (in blush) and that's a bit lighter on me. I think I prefer the LM product as it has more coverage.

I recommend getting samples before buying.
