Review: Rimmel Match Perfection

Match Perfection Foundation
This one of my sisters favourite foundations and I was looking to try a new one, so I thought I would give this one try.
The packaging is made of glass and it has a cylindrical shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted cylindrical shape made of plastic and it is a navy blue colour with a slight sparkle sheen. This product has a navy plastic pump, which dispenses the foundation. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like the majority of foundations. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper with a security tag. The formula is very thin and you get 30ml of product in the bottle and I have it in the shade 100 Ivory.
This foundation has SPF 18 in it, so it is sun safe and it is mean’t to last all day. The coverage is medium to full and it is supposed to look natural and be undetectable under light, which means people shouldn’t be able to tell you are wearing it, even when you’re under bright light. Rimmel call this light perfecting radiance and it is mean’t to brighten up your face.

I do quite like this foundation. It is very different to the Rimmel Wake Me Up, which I have a review of here and I think this one may be slightly better. I use one pump for my whole face because the product is very thin and slightly liquidly, which means you are able to spread it out more. It is quite smooth and it has SPF18, so it glides on and looks even and it matches my skin very well. You can’t tell you are wearing it because it does match your skin very well and your face looks very bright, so when the light catches your face it looks like you have a natural glow. It doesn’t last all day on my skin, but it depends on your skin type. My skin is kind of oily and my face gets really warm in the Summer, so it is likely to slide off if I get really sweaty. Other than that I would say the coverage is medium because of the thin texture and it does cover quite a bit, but I still use concealer under my eyes and on any red spots.

Overall I do like this foundation and I would consider re-purchasing it in the future.

Match Perfection Concealer
I bought this concealer way before I got the foundation and had heard about it on YouTube and thought I would give it a try.

The packaging is made of a flexible plastic material, which is a slight tanned beige colour. The cap is made of blue plastic and has a cylindrical pointed shape. The applicator is a brush and you have to squeeze the tube for the product to dispense through the bristles. The formula is light and smooth, you get 7ml of product in the tube and I have the shade 010 Ivory.
This concealer is mean’t to conceal signs of fatigue and highlight and illuminate your under eye area. Each shade is supposed to adapt to your skin tone and the brush applicator should be soft for precision and delicate areas.

I really like this concealer and I think it may be my favourite and the best one I have ever tried! The brush applicator is soft and very easy to use and the texture of the concealer is very smooth and it adapts to my skin tone very well and makes your under eye area look flawless, bright and illuminating. The product is very easy to blend and gives good coverage as well as concealing any signs of fatigue. I do recommend setting it with a powder to add protection. It can crease slightly and settle in fine lines, but if you use a powder and don’t use too much of the concealer, that shouldn’t happen.

Overall I really like this concealer and have already re-purchased it and probably will continue to do so.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink
