RIMMEL LONDON

NEW!

Wake Me Up Foundation & Concealer!

https://au.rimmellondon.com

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer #101 Ivory

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation #103 True Ivory

Let's be honest, putting on my makeup each morning is one of the highlights of my busy day. It's a

few minutes each day where it's all about me. I like to take this time to relax and enjoy the process of

pampering, thinking about the day ahead, getting my thoughts together as I wake up. It's really quite

therapeutic for me.

Rimmel London's classic Wake Me Up foundation has recently undergone a makeover and I have

found myself reaching for it over all of my other foundations every single day over the past month

or so that I have just about finished them up!

(Watch my full face get ready with me using these products in my video here!)

Rimmel London Wake Me Up Foundation - Fine shimmer particles visible through the bottle!

(Purrdy!)

I will begin with the foundation which contains Vitamin C, SPF 20 as well as some hella beautiful

radiance pearls mixed inside it! It comes in six shade varieties - (Ivory, True Ivory, Soft Beige,

Classic Beige, True Nude and Natural Beige), an easy to use pump style clear glass bottle and

promises a radiant glow to the skin making it appear more awake and anti-fatigued.

The formula is a good consistency being not too thick now runny. It just sits on the back of my hand

when I pump it out and doesn't drip or begin running down my arm before I can get a makeup brush

onto it! It blends easily and smooth on my skin. It covers my pores, however not my larger ones and

you can still see a little acne scaring after application. So I would say this foundation gives about a

medium coverage. It does look super flattering, natural and dewy though and does an impressive job

at lasting all day! Honestly, this is one of the best foundations I have found in terms of being long

lasting. It stays put amazingly well even on my longer 7am-5pm work days.

The contrast between the swatches of the above foundation and concealer is appearing much more

dramatic than it actually is in real life. My skin is not fair, but still quite light. What you can see in

the image with the shimmer in it is much more it's true to life shade. But anyway, let's get talking

about the new Wake Me Up Concealer!

Available in just three shades - Ivory, Classic Beige and Soft Beige. I would like to see a wider

variety of shades available, however the lightest Ivory shade does get the job done for me.

The consistency is only just slightly thicker than the foundation and conceals any redness, veins,

small blemishes and pores well. It is smooth and blends with ease. I have enjoyed using this duo

together as they seem to compliment each other well with their fatigue concealing and illuminating

glow particles.

MATCH PERFECTION

~ RIMMEL LONDON ~

Match Perfection & Fix And Protect

FACE BASES!

I have been recently testing out this new foundation in both shades Ivory 100 & White Nude 102.
Both very similar in terms of shade and both seem to suit my light slightly pale skin. The Ivory is
slightly lighter and appears a little grey upon application, however soon seems to change once
settled onto my skin and turns into a more natural looking shade close to my own skin colour.

The White Nude is a shade or two darker, but still suitable for light skin tones and has more of a
orange/yellow undertone about it. This too seems like a slightly different shade when first applied,
however soon settles and changes to give me a natural slightly sun kissed glow. I found this foundation to give about a medium to full coverage on my skin. Was fairly impressed by this
as you will see more clearly in my video below.

These foundations are a pretty amazing combination whilst keeping the skin matte throughout the
day and keeping the natural oily t-zone under control, this product you may be surprised to know
contains an SPF 20! I am pretty sure this is the first foundation I have come across to contain SPF and
still keep my skin matte throughout the day!

Recently I put this foundation to the test and documented how it went on my skin throughout the day
used in conjunction with the Rimmel London Fix & Protect Primer. Take a look as I check in with my camera throughout the day and find out my thoughts on the end result.

PRIMER!

As with another Rimmel London primer I have used previously, with this product a little goes a long way and you really need to be careful not to apply too much or your face will become overly white and the product difficult to blend in. I found a small amount to do just fine and worked to create a smoother, less oily surface on my skin as a good base for my makeup.

The formula is white and quite a bit runny, similar to that of a sunscreen consistency without the smell! The scent is actually much more fragrant with a light floral scent to it which quickly disappears after application.

I found this primer kept my foundation firmly in place throughout the day and my skin hardly got oily at all after around 10 hours. I noticed a positive result as I am usually much more oily by the end of the day especially when wearing makeup.

I would still apply a powder over the top of this primer and foundation combo, however for the purpose of my first impressions video I skipped this step to see how it found fair without it.

Overall a good base for foundation. Not overly blurring or skin perfecting, but pretty good at keep the skin matte and holding the makeup in place for a good full day!

These and other Rimmel London makeup products can be purchased from Priceline, Coles, K-Mart,
Woolworths, Big W, Target & other selected pharmacies around Australia.
Match Perfection Foundation RRP $18.95
Fix & Protect Primer RRP $13.95

How do you keep your skin matte throughout the day?

NUDE BY NATURE

~ NUDE BY NATURE ~

Pressed Natural Mineral Cover

http://www.nudebynature.com.au

Nude By Nature Pressed Mineral Powder in 'Light' - $39.95 (Shop!)

I have recently been using this lovely pressed mineral powder in the shade 'Light' which is my general shade when it comes to facial makeup products as my skin is quite light, but not fair. Upon opening the very glam packaging (sleek box and cloth pouch complete with dark brown round compact & sponge) I was quite surprised at how dark the powder appeared! I had to double check I had the correct shade, which I did. (Phew!)

I usually do not like to use any kind of sponge when it comes to applying makeup as for me the product seems to get lost in the sponge and does not transfer well onto my skin. However this sponge wasn't too bad, still I prefer to use a fluffy brush as it seems to get the powder the cover more even and give a more flawless finish.

I am really impressed with the coverage, especially when it comes to my pores. Mine are a bit big around my cheeks near my nose and the powder covered them quite well without settling into them even towards the end of the day which is what I normally experience.

I am enjoying the light feeling this gives on my skin and I find I can get away without having to touch up throughout the day, however as it gets hotter as Summer approaches I am sure I may need to at least once as I tend to get a bit oily when it gets super hot.

Big points to Nude By Nature for being cruelty free, naturally derived and Australian made!

A beautiful product I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new pressed powder to try. A great handy size which fits perfectly into a small makeup bag or purse and the mirror is a 100% must for me as I am always rummerging around my bag in search of mine which seems to live a life of it's own and only reappears once I have given up looking for it
and no longer need it!
