This is the first time ever that i'll be trying a product from the cosmetic brand Rimmel. It is a well known brand from London. and i am super excited to try them out, after reading a lot of good feed backs about the brand i just had to give it a try.
I bought two items from Rimmel, a matte lipstick and a matte foundation (both from an online seller in instagram)
As you all may know, and for those who don't know..... I have the need for matte matte matte in my life lol (i have super oily skin)
So lets get stared...
I have the Rimmel Matte Foundation in shade: true ivory and a Kate by Rimmel Matte lipstick in the shade 101
First the foundation:
Lucky i found the perfect shade.
Put small amounts first then layer if you need to but i doubt if you need layering. it's freakin' thick already. I found it easy to blend (works better if you use your hands) but you have to be really quick cause it dries up pretty fast so you have to work with it fast as well.
I was happy with the finish of this foundation.
It was smooth, velvet like and not sticky at all. I love how matte it really is. I don't think you even need to settle it with powder. It has a fine finish that i am afraid to break so i left it untouched and went ahead and put on the lipstick.
The shade is perfect! I can't put into words how much i love the color, it's like a nude pale pink. love love love it!
Yes, it is matte but for some reason it looks glossy on me hehe
This is how it looks when exposed to day light. It has a super beautiful and natural finish. Not oily at all and it stayed put the whole time i was at the mall (roughly 5-6hrs). Although it has a tendency to settle on the corners of the nose and laugh lines..... or maybe i just have too many wrinkles where it found comfort in haha other than that i didn't see anything wrong after long wear.
The lipstick on the other hand was wiped off from all the eating, i had to reapply maybe 2x. It's not as lasting as i expected but i still love it because it is not the heavy matte type that dries up your lips after wearing it for a long time.
Sorry for the haggardness of the hair, it was half wet because i was in a hurry as i was already running late.
It was overwhelming to see that this foundation really settled well on my oily skin and how long lasting it was. It was very satisfactory. and to think that this was my fist Rimmel products ever, lucky i picked the right items.
I will surely be buying more Rimmel products soon.
Overall i was super satisfied with the foundation more than the lipstick but still i love the duo and will definitely buy more of it.
I hope you all loved my simple feedback on this product. If you have any questions at all please do feel free to ask.
Thank you for reading!
