My go to Rimmel London products review!


I do love the hughstreet brand Rimmel London for so many different products, from Nail Varnishes to eyeliner and probably my most bought and tested is foundations. I really do find their foundations to be the best for my skin tone, shade and sensitivity. 
So lets get into it;


Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation -
This creates a lovely dewy glow on my skin, it helps hide impurities and masks my dark under eye patches. I love the build-able base of this foundation and the fact it has SPF in it is a great added bonus. I tend to use this foundation more in the summer months as it has a slightly darker than my skin tone shade even though it is the lightest shade to buy.
The pump is very easy to use it does swivel around quite a bit which is annoying but hey! for around £7 I'm not going to complain!


Along to join is the Wake Me Up Concealer -
This is very much exactly the same as the foundation in my opinion, it blends easily, covers well (use two coats to cover my dark purple patches). I like the little applicator brush it comes with, Okay it's not the greatest to use to blend in the concealer. I still have to use my Arve Concealer brush but hey it's handy and much better than those horrible dusty sticks!.


Clear Complexion Clarrifying Powder -
Is more of a recent purchase and a trial, I thought it might help prevent break outs if I use this over normal translucent powder. Apparently not the case as I am suffering worse than before right now. It's very lightweight, creates a nice matte complexion over my foundation but does it stick around no!.
Has it helped clear my skin, nope and would I buy again bottom line no!


Sexy Curves Waterproof Mascara-
I was immediately drawn to the colour of the packaging its a real nice glossy shade of teal and a nice handle to hold when applying too. It promises gentle on the lashes and easy to remove whilst still staying waterproof.
Putting it to the test, so far I have yet to have any un-wanted smudges so top marks on that, it fans out my lashes nicely and does seem to glide over and through them gently with the little soft green curvy wand. The liquid does not come out lumpy or thinly and it seems to stick around for a number of hours. I find it no harder or easier than any other mascara to remove. So all in all it seems pretty good only test I haven't tried yet is getting my face soaked but I'm sure in the upcoming winter months that will soon be put to the test!
