Rimmel: Wake Me Up


So, after all the hype surrounding this line I had to try it out!

Verdict: LOVE IT!

First things first, who wouldn't love this packaging?! I love the bright orange, it adds a bit of colour to my make up bag, and it has a shimmery finish which is so pretty! I also love the curvy foundation bottle, so thumbs up on the packaging front!!!

Firstly let me talk about the concealer. I really like this concealer but to be honest with you it doesn't quite have enough coverage for blemishes and spots. I like to use it under my eyes and I really think it helps to hide my dark circles, this is probably due to the tiny shimmer particles in the formula.

Okay so moving onto the foundation, I'm not going to lie I was a little worried about the shimmer in this foundation. I thought it could just be too glittery and make my face resemble something of a disco ball... However, it proved me wrong and its actually gorgeous. It gives a really good coverage for me, I'd say a general medium coverage perfect for spring when my skin looks a little better naturally. I apply it with my Real techniques Stippling Brush, and I find it gives me a really nice, natural finish. With a little of the Stay Matte powder over the top I am good to go!!!

I use the colours True Ivory (foundation) and Classic Beige (concealer), I'm not sure why my concealer is darker than my foundation but they seem to be a pretty good match for my skin!

I'd quite like to try the Shimmering Touch instant radiance too because I like these products so much :) 

These products are really affordable and personally I don't think you have to spend millions to find a decent foundation!

Have you tried any of the products in this line? If so what did you think??

Now I'm back off to university land for my final term of year one, God knows where that time has gone!!

Au Revoir x
