NEW FROM RIMMEL

NEW!

FROM RIMMEL LONDON!

Sculpting Contour & Highlighting Trio Palette

This clever little trio will save you so much space in your everyday makeup bag!

Instead of lugging three different products around, this 3 in 1 has it all together conveniently

right here housed in this gorgeous gold trimmed plastic case.

From top to bottom, it starts with a lovely champagne highlighter to brighten the skin where the light

would naturally hit like the cheekbones, brow bone, across the top of the nose and I also like to use

on the inner corners of my eyes to really open them up and this gives the illusion of larger eyes and a

more awake appearance.

In the centre is the contour/bronzing shade of a medium chocolate brown. I have found all of these

shades great in terms of pigmentation. There aren't over the top making you look like a clown but

give just enough colour to make them easy to blend and also look natural on the skin whilst bringing

out your natural best! The bronzer is great for really giving some definition to your overall face and

slimming down any areas of concern.

Last but certainly not least is the universally loved coral peachy pink toned blush perfect for everyday

wear and when built upon can then take you into the night with a natural looking healthy flushed

appearance. This is best used on the apples of your cheeks. I like to use this between where I have

highlighted and contoured.

This new makeup must have is very affordable at just RRP $16.95 and can be found at Priceline,

Big W, K-Mart, Woolworths, Coles, Target and selected pharmacies.

Kate Moss Clear Lip Conditioning Lipstick

This is an interesting, unique product I have not come across before now, but I think the idea is
very clever! Designed to wear either under or over lipstick to keep lips conditioned and prevent
drying. Especially great if you're into matte as these are often the most drying.

You can see more from the Kate Moss collection here. :)

With Winter nearing and the weather starting to chill, I have noticed my lips becoming more dry
especially in the wind we have been having lately! This has been great just to wear on it's own as
you would a lip balm when I am at home out in the yard with my kids. Being housed in the very
pretty white lipstick case with bubblegum pink swirly font, it feels a bit more fancy than just
your regular clear balm.

You can pick this one up right now at your local Priceline, Woolies, Coles, Target, K-Mart, Big W
and selected pharmacies for a reasonable RRP $9.95.

Instaflawless Skin Perfecter in Light/Medium

This radiant skin perfecting skin tint is lightly fragranced and provides light coverage over my mid
30's 'normal' skin. The light/medium shade is the perfect match to my light olive skin which is neither
oily nor dry. This product does include an SPF factor of 15 which works well for me for casual daily
wear. Also available in Medium/Dark for 30ml at RRP $13.95 at Priceline, Target, Coles, Big W,
K-Mart, Woolworths and selected pharmacies.

I enjoy wearing this on it's own, much as I would a tinted moisturiser or BB/CC cream for a more
natural day time look. If you enjoy light coverage over a heavy full face foundation or prefer to keep
it simple on weekends then this is the product for you. I feel like this would also perfectly suit those
just getting into makeup or don't like to wear makeup, however may need to for an event or such as
the result it gives is so natural whilst still smoothing out the skin and giving it a beautiful glow.

BB Cream Radiance & Lasting Finish Powder Foundation

Review!

http://www.rimmellondon.com.au

I don't think I will ever tired of trying out new foundations, powders or BB creams trying to perfect

my base to it's best flawless finish. Recently I have been trying out these two newbies and I am

loving the combo for everyday wear.

Rimmel London BB Radiance available in Very Light, Light & Medium.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Powder Foundation available in Light Porcelain, Soft Beige,

Silky Beige & Warm Honey.

Rimmel London Radiance BB Cream in 'Light'

I probably have about ten to fifteen different brands of BB Creams in my collection so obviously

I have had my fair share of experience with them and this Rimmel London Radiance BB Cream

really does make my skin radiant! Considering that it is nine in one is pretty impressive to me.

Those nine being -

Priming

Concealing

Smoothing

Minimises Pores

Natural Coverage

Radiant Finish

Brightening

Awakens Skin

Moisturising

This dermatologist tester super cream contains Vitamin C which is the main powerful ingredient

which aids in all of the above particually brightening and awakening the skin. I notice an instant

quite dramatic difference in the appearance of my skin when I apply this in the morning. It looks

like my skin instantly perfected, like a mini face lift in my bathroom! :)

As you can see from the swatches below the shade I have been using in light is a perfect match for

my skin tone. I would recommend the 'Very Light' shade for very light/fair skin and 'Medium' for

warmer, sun kissed tones.

You only require a pea size amound of product which seems to just blend right into the skin leaving

a very natural ironed out result. It doesn't feel greasy, nor does it cake up or flake throughout the day,

but stays looking like I am not wearing make-up at all. I love that it's like my secret to looking and

and staying awake and fresh all day.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25hr Powder Foundation in 'Soft Beige'

What I find interesting and unique about this product is that is can be applied either as a dry finishing

powder over your regular foundation or BB cream or as a buildable full coverage foundation when

applied wet. I like having these two options to choose from when doing my make-up so I can rely on

this one product to get me though whatever the occasion may be.

The swatch below shows the powder when dry. It is a compact powder which is smooth and very

light on the skin, yet still gives a decent amount of coverage. When applied wet however, this

gives much more of a flawless result whilst still retaining it's natural finish.

The compact itself if housed in a plastic red firmly sealed curved square complete with clear lid,

mirror and applicator sponge stored underneith the product. I personally LOVE products which

house inbuild mirrors as I am forever applying my make-up on the go and nine times out of ten

you can bet I either have forgotten my mirror or do not have access to one and have to free hand

it hoping for the best! Yes, scary!! So thank you Rimmel London make-up packaging designers,

you have met this woman's needs!

NANOSELFIE

~ #NANOSELFIE CHALLENGE ~

FEATURING INDEED LABS

NANOBLUR

HYDRALURON MOISTURE BOOSTING MASK!

http://www.indeedlabs.com

Have you ever wondered how some people seem to always take the most perfect selfies?

A tiny percentage are blessed to be naturally striking and flawless and 99.9% photogenic, the

rest of us... well with a bit of tech help using filters, airbrushing as well as make-up most the rest of

us can look pretty awesome too! However I was recently challenged to take the Indeed Laboratories

#nonoselfie challenge with a little skin prep from their incredibly hydrating Moisture Boosting Mask.

Using my Nanoblur underneith my make-up makes one hell of a difference let me tell you!

Indeed Laboratories have produced a groundbreaking range of skincare products that will definitely

impress you. Including these two which work great to compliment each other giving you the best

results, they also stock - Fillume, Eysilix, Retinol Face, Pepta-Bright, Snoxin & my personal fav,

the Hydraluron Moisture Booster!

To find out more about the Indeed Labs range you can check out my full review of 3 of my favs

right here as well are a more indepth look at the Hydraluron Moisture Boosting Mask pictured

above here. :)

To help create perfect #nonoselfie skin after letting the Moisture Boosting Mask sit for a good 15

minutes I then massage about a pea size amount of Nanoblur into my skin. My main selfie pet peeves

include my large pores, wrinkles around my eyes as well as the one across my forehead where they are more apparent. As you can see below, Nonoblur works a treat at making my worry lines fade away and my pores much less noticable.

I love that this product takes away all of my selfie insecurities and just leaves my skin looking

the best version of itself letting the other features on my face shine.

My skin often becomes a bit oily by the end of the day. I love that this keeps the oil under

control and keeps my skin looking matte and fresh.

Even though I prefer to use Nonoblur as a (highly effective) primer you can actually use this pretty much anyway you like. Under, over or even mixed in with your foundation or moisturiser.

Any which way you choose to apply it, it will still give you the same airbrushed appearing results!
