Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

 

i purchased this foundation from superdrug. this is SO hydrating to the skin which leaves a semi-satin finish, which looks radiant and glowy on the skin. It smells absolutely gorgeous, its smells like a cut between shower gel and some perfume. its a smell i really cant pinpoint. this may bother some of those who are sensitive to fragrance but i personally love the smell. It goes on very sheer. i cant really say much than how great it is. it'd be a lovely foundation for the summer.

however i currently have the wrong shade, its looks dark on me since its a pink undertone and i originally have yellow undertones.But i definitely will purchase this in a different shade as it seems like a lovely foundation!

under direct artificial light, as you can see there is faint light reflecting particles in it.

theres some controversial arguments to this foundation being shimmery. i never realised the shimmers when i first purchased this, but under direct artificial light you can see slight shimmers, not glittery but faint light reflecting particles. i don't find this to be visible on the skin.

Rimmel lasting finish lipsticks by Kate Moss review

 

Out of the collection i only got four lipsticks (03,04,08,12). The lipsticks are very pigmented. They apply very velvot-ey and almost creamy and have a satin-matte finish. It is also quiete moisturising not to a point where you wouldnt need chapstick since this does lean more towards a matte finish. I wouldnt say they have a glossy finish. They smell just like the other rimmel lipsticks, come dislike the smell but personally i love it. 

03 - browney nude

04 - is a very very dark purple

08 - dusty pinkish mauve colour

12 - reddish orange

Rimmel crack your colour crazy top coat review

Wow ain't that a long tongue twister.
Amazing, the effect is just as good as the OPI crackle nail polishes.
Yh thats what i thought when i first got it. Two weeks later, when i attempted to use this again the polish had all gone gooey and almost hard. In other words it dried up. I was so dissapointed. So thats about another fiver down the drain!
I don't know if it was just my nail polish or if they're all like that but based on my experience i would not recommend this to anyone! Its a waste of money. However No7 have also recently come out with a cracking top coat collection, which is worth a look. I've got the purple one and they've got a range of other colours too. I've had mine for about a month and it hasnt dried up yet. However you do have to work with it fast because the effect happens almost instantly. Enough of me rambling (covers face) this is suppose to be about the rimmel polish.
