Mini Rimmel Haul/Reviews

Hello beauties,

Apologies for the post on revision that I have only just posted I just noticed that I had saved it as a draft rather than scheduling it :(

Yesterday, I went to the cinema with my dad and little brother to see "the croods" (really good film btw) and I walked by one of the biggest boots stores in the area, how could I resist? Especially with their amazing 3 for 2!!

So I went and bought some goodies all of which happen to be Rimmel:

1) Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

This is something that I have wanted for a while because of the amazing range of shades and knowing that they did a really light shade (I'm so pale that I normally don't even bother swatching, I just buy the lightest shade and go) that would hopefully suit me with out that orange tint I have so often. Another reason for buying this was to replace my natural collection tinted moisturiser because quite frankly it was rubbish, I've really lost faith in them but more about that another time.

I have only worn this today and honestly it's amazing, I suits me perfectly. I purchased the shade 010 light porcelain (swatched below) , which when applied seems almost too pale but then the magic colour match formula gets working and it blends perfectly. It really gives the your skin but better look.

As far as wear is concerned, I think it has lasted really well, I applied the product at about 6:30 this morning and now at nearly 5:30 it's still going strong, this is with a gym session mid afternoon as well! It does feel a little dewy still but it's better than your face feeling really dry and gross!

2) Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

I wanted this just because I had read that the foundation can be a little too dewy if you don't apply setting powder. This is nothing special but is still a really good product. I bought the translucent one as it was simply for setting the foundation rather than adding colour, so I can't say much about pigmentation but I've heard it's good :)

3) Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

These have been raved about in the bloggersphere so much the last few weeks I just had to try it and when it was free on the 3 for 2 it would be rude not too.

I love this just like nearly every other blogger, it looks like a gloss but has the feel of a lipstick on your lips rather than a sticky mess. I bought the colour 600 nude eclipse (swatched below) as I had run out of a neutral lip colour and I wasn't brave enough to try out a bright colour as I don't really feel they suit me. These are definitely worth the money if you don't own one (at least) you need to.

Hope you have enjoyed this little haul,
Maddie x
