Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Hey Guy’s,

I have been very excited to blog about this Foundation, I wanted to hold off for a couple of days when I got it just to make sure it sat on my skin correctly and did exactly what it said it will do on the bottle. Which it did :-)

I had been using the Lancôme Teint Miracle Foundation for quite a while, I had run out and wanted to try something new, I always think it is best to change foundations a couple of times a year.

I am very pleased to say that the Rimmel Foundation is a very very close match to the Lancôme one but without the hefty price tag. The only difference I can see is that the Rimmel one is a tiny bit thicker when it comes out of the pump, (but it is not thick on the skin). My skin looks flawless and healthy all day long. The brush in the image with the foundation is a F80 Flat Headed Kabuki brush made by Sigma, I apply this foundation with this brush and this really does help the product sink and buff into your skin. You can have good products but with the right tools you get an even better result. I use shade Soft Beige.

Benefits of Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation:

• Has small illuminating radiance particles in so it leaves your skin glowing all day
• You do not have to touch up all day as it sinks into your skin perfectly, and leaves a flawless pore less result.
• SPF 15
• Provides vitamin moisturising complex, I really like to have this in my products as I feel it keeps my skin hydrated all day.
• Eliminates signs of tiredness, thanks to the radiance pearls.
• You can build up the coverage to a full coverage if you wish. I like to have this option as some days I like more coverage than others. This means I do not need as much concealer.
• £8.99, but you can pick it up for £5.99 at the moment. A tad different to what I was paying which was £29.99 and I actually prefer this foundation. I love trying new products and seeing the difference and if there cheaper even better.

Rimmel Match Perfection Bronzer.

I wanted to add this into the blog as it matched the radiance theme I was aiming for; I wear this bronzer on top of my contouring product to give my face that extra glow. Great for adding a touch of colour to your skin. The brush in the image is a LG stipple brush from Applied Cosmetics; you can use this for foundation, bronzers and blushers. I only use this for foundation and bronzer palettes.

Thanks to the ladies that recommended this foundation to me, very very pleased with it. I would highly recommend this product if you like a glowy dewy finish to your skin.

Benefit 10' Highlighter and Bronzer

Benefit 10’ Bronzer and Highlighter £23.50

WOW – How have I not had this in my Make Up Kit before now??????

This pallet by Benefit is perfect for sculpting those cheekbones, Highlight and Contour in one easy sweep – Perfect. The pallet consists of a satiny pink and bronze powder duo, which equals the perfect 10’. In the pallet you receive a lovely soft natural-bristle brush.

Little tip on how to get the best from the pallet – Pop a bit of the pink shade onto the brush and sweep this over the apple of the cheek going up towards the hairline, then apply a mixture of the two colours together and apply again on the apples of the cheeks up to the hairline, You can blend the two together or leave a bit of the pink highlighter just on top of the cheekbone under the eye. I then personally like to apply the bronzer onto the brush and with the applicator end pointing directly facedown, run this under your cheekbone to achieve that sculpted contoured effect.

You can purchase this gorgeous pallet online at www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk or in store at various department stores.

Now I have this little gem in my kit it is definitely going to be a keeper.
