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.

My Favourite TV Series

I have already shared with you some current favourite songs and my favourite films. I thought it was now time to mention my favourite TV series. Here are my top ten favourite TV series:-   Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) This series is about a teenager who becomes the next vampire slayer. Only one slayer is born into every generation and one has to die for another to be activated. It is a kind of coming of age story and I love strong female characters. I also just loved the fight scenes. I was only four when this series first came out, so I did miss a few seasons at first. About five years ago, I did re-watch all seven seasons. I was sad it ended, but there are only so many monsters you can introduce and slay before it gets monotonous! It did watch the spin-off show Angel, but it didn’t have the same magic and feel to it for me.   Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-) I am quite partial to a crime drama and it all started with CSI: Miami. I watched all of the Amer...
