Wake Me Up Foundation
I bought this after seeing the
advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description
sounded perfect for me.
The packaging is made of glass and it
has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre
on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and
it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange
plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is
printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic
wrapper, with a security tag.
This product is marketed as a
foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is
also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It
also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t
to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back
to life” and banish the signs of fatigue and tiredness from the face. It
should stay put for ten hours and to
give a natural coverage of medium to full. This product is currently available
in six shades.
I have this product in the shade 100
Ivory and it is 30ml. I do like this product, but I have oily skin and I think
this product makes me look shiny in an oily way, rather than being a natural
radiant glow. I use one full pump and a tiny bit extra, if I use two full pumps
it is too much and it emphasises my pores. It is not bad coverage, but I still
need to use concealer on any redness. I would say it is medium or less
coverage, as it has a thin and creamy consistency, probably because of the
SPF15, but that allows it to spread more and evenly, which is why I don’t use
so much. It does make my face look more wide awake, which is great seeing as
though I don’t get enough sleep (fatigue). It definitely doesn’t last ten hours
on me, my face is oily and my face can get very warm during the day, which
means it will wear away over time. It doesn’t completely disappear, because it
still looks like I have a bright face and I notice a big difference when I wipe
it off at night. I feel as though it kind of sinks into my skin, which gives
the illusion of it all being there, even though some of it will have
disappeared! As for it being poreless and flawless, I don’t think my face will
ever look flawless with make-up, until it is without! It does cover up the
pores on my nose quite well, but sometimes it can make the little hairs, that
you can’t see on a bare face , show up on your cheeks.
Overall I do like this foundation and I
did re-purchase a back-up when it was on offer again, but I will be using it up and trying a different foundation that has more matte qualities, to see if that
makes the difference in regards of my face appearing shiny.

Wake Me Up Concealer
This came out a bit after the
foundation, so I decided to get it so that they match.
The packaging is made of plastic and
the cap is also made of orange plastic, which doesn’t have the glitter like the
foundation does. The cap is also the applicator, which is a slanted, dough foot
sponge. The product info and logo have worn off mine, so I have inserted another
picture from someone else which shows the writing.
This product is marketed as Rimmel’s
first full coverage concealer and it is mean’t to “visibly reawaken and
illuminate under the eyes” it is also mean’t to “completely cover spots and
other blemishes”. It is also mean’t to cover up the signs of fatigue and have a
peptide and vitamin moisturising complex. This is available in many shades.
I have this in the shade 010 Ivory and
it is 7ml. I quite like this product, but it hasn’t really been working for me
lately, plus I am still in love with my other Rimmel concealer. The applicator
is really easy to use and the product’s texture is light and creamy, but it
feels dryer than the texture of the foundation. It is not bad coverage, but it
hasn’t been working for under my eyes lately, because I have not been getting
enough sleep, which means the blue/purple tones under my eyes are getting
brighter and too bright to completely cover, however that is really my fault.
It does cover up redness of spots and redness on my nose quite well, but you
can still see where the spots are, but I’m not really bothered, as long as I
don’t look like a beetroot! It also looks a bit dry under my eyes and doesn’t
feel moisturising. It also settles in small creases very easily, and it does
last by covering up discolouration, but that doesn’t matter when it makes the
creases under your eyes more prominent! However it does brighten a little and
combined with the foundation, you don’t have to worry about signs of fatigue!
Overall it is not a bad concealer, but
when I have run out of the foundation, I am going to start using a BB cream.
And I have tried this concealer with the BB cream I will be using and they do
not match, as the concealer looks orange under my eyes. I also still really
love my other Rimmel concealer and I feel it works better for me.
