I've been using this Rimmel stay matte mousse foundation for a while now on and off with other foundations. I tend to reach for this if my skin is feeling particularly oily that day, or if I know I will be out for a long time. I think this foundation is really effective, it minimises shine and it actually stays matte for a long time. However it doesn't dry out my skin too much, which is great, although i think it probably would if someone who was prone to dry skin used it. I tend to just apply it with my fingers as I feel it goes on better with it being quite a creamy consistency, and once its on my skin it dries in really fast which is perfect.. then it's not greasy! I think it retails at around £6? But i got mine from ebay for about £3.50 I think (I always turn to ebay it's the best!). I've almost ran out of this product and i will definitely be purchasing it again on friday when i get paid! I know it's a cheap product but I find it definitely works for me so why pay more for essentially the same thing? I love finding a bargain!
I have also been using this pressed powder by Rimmel too (shown above), and it is pretty effective. I think the 'matte' look is an essential for me I cannot stand looking shiny at all! I never really thought of using Rimmel products before as it seemed like a sort of 'cheap' make to me, but I am impressed with this foundation so i will probably try more of their products now! Does anyone else have a favourite product by Rimmel?
I have only tried a Rimmel lipstick before. Airy Fairy which is similar to Mac's Angel. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect foundation. I have slightly dry skin and also with me tanning/self tanning I have issues finding the right shade.
ReplyDeleteahhh might have to check out their lipsticks :)
DeleteYeah i have that problem with tanning too, sometimes for nights out I need darker foundation than the rest of the time but its annoying having to buy loads of different shades! xx
