Beauty | Review - Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

Hi there !

I have been a major fan of a certain foundation for about a good two years now and even though I tried other, I always find myself coming back to this one : the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation.

Application | This foundation goes on so smooth, it is literally like a dream. I love that the bottle has a little pump dispenser, 'cause it makes the whole application process a lot less messy ! The pump actually brings up the exact amount I need to cover my entire face, but I add a little more so I can go ahead and include my neck in the party. 

Consistency | This foundation is a little bit more on the thicker side, but this makes for a very good coverage. For me this is just the right amount if coverage : enough to cover my spots and scars, but not too much so I doesn't look cakey or anything.

Smell | It has the typical Rimmel foundation smell, that reminds me a bit of sunscreen and thus gives me the perfect instant summer feeling.

Feel | The wonderful thing about this one is that it has quite good coverage, but doesn't feel like you have a ton of make up on. It doesn't bother me at all during the day.

Result | The result is a gorgeous dewy complexion because of the tiny sparkly bits in the foundation. I know, at first it sounds frightening glittery foundation ! But these glittery things do not show up that much at all, it's not like you're looking like one of those Twilight vampire things or whatever they are, the glittery ones. They give a slight dewy effect to your complexion and that's why it doesn't actually look like you have a lot of make up on.

Lasting time | I would say it lasts like a normal foundation. Given the fact that it is drug store and remains a foundation. But if you add a primer and some setting spray, you'll be able to rock this one all day I believe ('cause I don't own any of those YET)

I have got so many complements already on this one, you would hardly believe it ! Oh btw, I normally am shade 001 ivory but during summer I get 002 silky beige, because it make me look a little bit less pale and if I would end up having a tan for once this one would be the exact shade I feel.

Recommend | DEFINITELY !

Love,

K.

Beauty | Review - Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation

Hi there !

A few weeks ago I bought the Rimmel Match Perfection foundation, but due to very hot weather here in Belgium and tons of BB creme it took me quite a while to use the product a sufficient amount of time to be able to review it :) Without further ado, here is my review !

Application | This is such an easy foundation to apply ! The bottle has this little pump that provides you with the ideal amount to cover your whole face (but I do add about half a pump to be able to cover my neck area too !) Once on your face this product adapts so easily and perfectly to my skin tone, it's like magic ! ^^

Consistency | Nothing super special about the consistency, it's a regular foundation consistency. It is really lightweight with a good amount of coverage ;)

Smell | The typical Rimmel foundation smell and I am in love with it, hmmm ! 

Feel | This foundation feels so light, you almost don't notice it being on your face. Some foundations really feel like they're clogging your pores, but this one really allows your face to breathe while giving you a sufficient amount of coverage for a fresh face :)

Result | It gives your face a nice fresh and pretty matt finish (and I have VERY oily skin, just so you know !) For me it's the ideal foundation to use on both days where you want to glam up and those days where you just want to slap on some foundation and mascara and be on the go :)

Lasting time | I would say the foundation lasts about a good 12 hours, but with some blotting papers and compact powder it's easily touched up and in full force ! I wouldn't say the coverage lasts as long, but some concealer and you're good to go ;)

To me this product is definitely worth the money, I'm so pleased I bought it :)

Love,

Beauty | Review - Lush's Ocean Salt Scrub

Well hello there !

In one of my first posts I told you that I had bought Lush's Ocean Salt Scrub and I promised to review it, sooo here I am.

Okay, what does this product promise you to do? This is what Lush has to say about that "Washing with Ocean Salt is like taking your face on a trip to the seaside for an invigorating splash in the water. The minerals in sea salt soften as it scrubs away dirt, dead skin and blockages for a bright, fresh face. We mix in fresh avocado and coconut to hydrate thirsty skin, leaving it balanced and soft. The antibacterial effects of lime and vodka are ideal for blocked pores, blackheads or blemishes and leave skin visibly brightened. It's no wonder Ocean Salt is so enormously popular!"

So basically this

- Get rid of dirt, dead skin and blockages

- Hydrate

- Get rid of blocked pores, blackheads and blemishes

-Birighten up your skin

Well, I loved this product a lot ! It is the first scrub that actually leaves my skin feeling deeply cleaned, a lot softer and very bright. The salt really makes up for a very gentle scrub, though it may feel a bit crunchy, it starts to melt when you're applying it :)

The smell is not what you would typically expect from a scrub, but it is a very fresh and clean scent. Just perfect !

I really noticed a difference after using this scrub. My face feels so much softer and it looks a lot brighter. I got rid of all the blackheads on my nose and although I break out a little bit the day after scrubbing, I got rid of most blemishes.

I would recommend this product, it's a very fresh and clean scrub and does it's job perfectly. Oh and by the way, don't be surprised when your lips taste salty after scrubbing, it is called 'Ocean SALT' (Happened to me, true story ... typical)

Oh, if you're wondering why mine has a French name, I bought it in Brussels and our Lush shop only has the French names ;)
