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.

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box.  Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...
