REVIEW - Rimmel - Match Perfection Foundation

Hulo Ladies!

Today I'll be reviewing the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation that I purchased 6-8 weeks ago. It's been in two of my monthly favourite's post's and it's almost empty already!

I bought this because I was so happy with the swatch in store, it was the first foundation I'd swatched for months that actually looks close to my natural skin colour. 

The shade I bought was Light Porcelain.

Application : After trying various ways on how to apply it in the last few weeks I find that I prefer to either use a dense foundation brush or my fingers. I find it very blendable and easy to apply. I also love that it doesn't cling to much to my dry patches

Coverage : Sheer to medium - I find that the coverage all depends on how I apply it, if I'm using my dense foundation brush then I get a nice medium coverage but If I apply with my fingers I get a nice sheer coverage. It covers redness very well although I like to use a concealer for covering those pesky blemishes! 

Finish: Match perfection is enhanced with 'Sapphire Radiance' for a illuminating glow. This means that it gives a lovely dewy finish. I find this great for my skin type but may not be to everyones taste.

Lasting Power: I find it lasts around 5 - 6 hours on my skin, great for days when you're just popping out to the shops and doing daily tasks. I find if I'm going somewhere special and i'm out all day or night then I'd want something with slightly more lasting power. 

Packaging: I really like the packaging and find that the pump helps to make applying the foundation a lot easier and travel friendly. The packaging can get dirty over time but as it's a glass bottle then it's very easy to clean. I love the blue cap and writing, making it very eye catching in store but not too crass. 

Overall Rating : I give the foundation a 4 out of 5 ! It's a great foundation for Spring/Summer due to it's dewy finish and sheer - medium coverage. The price is also great which means I have no worries about re-purchasing it. 

I really enjoyed using this product and although I'm going to be trying out some other foundations in the next few months, I now have a foundation I can lean back on again and again. 

You can buy this foundation in Boot's and Superdrug Instore and Online.

Have you tried this foundation? 

Love it or Hate it?

Another Small Haul!

Hullo Ladies! 

I picked up a few products today that I thought I'd haul for you because I'm thinking of doing a few reviews on them in the near future. 

First I stopped in Superdrug as I really was in need of a foundation that was at least somewhat close to my skin tone  Apparently some high street brands have finally realized that 'Porcelain' doesn't actually mean orange! well Rimmel has anyway..... Yay for them :-) I managed to pick up their Match Perfection Foundation in Light Porcelain on offer for £4.99 and so far all I can say is.......LOVE! 

Then while food shopping in Asda I managed to pick up some skin care products :-) 

I'f your thinking..."Linzi...you didn't tell us you had a child" don't worry I haven't been keeping some poor baby hidden away! I've just always bought baby wipes to remove my makeup. To me they are the same thing and I've never had a problem with them irritating my sensitive skin like I do most beauty brand makeup removers. I picked up this big pack of Huggies Soft Skin for £1....amazing :-) 

My skins been horrific the last few months, spotty and dry!!  So I've been trying to find some product to help and after looking for nearly twenty minutes in the isle I picked up the Clearasil Clear n' Refine Daily Scrub and the Simple Purifying Cleansing Lotion, I've already started using them and after a few weeks use I should be putting up some reviews for you! 

Cotton Wool Pads are something I find extremely overpriced in stores like Boot's and Superdrug and It's why I hardly ever purchase them. I never thought to check out the Asda ones though. I picked up this two pack for a £1. 

So that's all I bought today :-) 

Have you tried the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation? Love it or hate it?
