Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation Review

"Feather light, liquid mousse blends flawlessly for natural-looking, all day shine control.

Silky smooth formula leaves a perfectly matte, baby-soft finish. Lightweight texture

won’t feel heavy or greasy. Minimizes the appearance of pores."

So I tried the Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation, I swear this is just an updated product...or am I imagining it for some reason??

I have combination skin; oily T-zone and normal cheeks, and I, therefore, need to use foundation that has a matte finish and is oil-free. This is pretty much what this foundation is for. I've been using Maybelline Dream Matte Mouse for years and is always my go-to foundation but it's nice to try something else sometimes; a) to see if there's any difference or if its better, b) to see what the hype is all about. After using this product initially I thought it was ok.....just ok. My skin didn't look shiny, didn't feel heavy and it has a nice coverage....BUT after a few hours I did find my skin to be oily and shiny again which I obviously wasn't very happy with. In conclusion, I think this product is just ok and there's nothing special about. FYI I didn't just try this product just the once, I used it over a few days and every time my skin turned out the same. I guess I'm back to my beloved Dream Matte Mouse....

Rimmel ScandalEyes Thick and Thick Waterproof Eyeliner Review

Before even buying this product I thought it was a great design; eyeliner which is more precise and easy to apply. It also reminded me of a felt tip pen :P .... It was great when I first tried it, it lived up to expectations. It was really easy to apply and can change thickness by rotating the product. The density was great too, no need for re-applying. The big down-fall for me and why I won't buying this again is that it doesn't last very long. On a daily wear basis; it last for ~2-3 months which isn't great considering I have had my Barry M liquid eyeliner for over 6 months and is also cheaper. It also claimed to be waterproof which I'm not so sure is true regarding how easy it was to remove. I think this product would be better suited to those who wear eyeliner on occasion rather than for frequent use. 

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Lycra Flex Review

After being disappointed in the Benefit They're Real mascara I decided to try the new Scandaleyes Lycra Flex mascara by Rimmel London. I tried it for the first time today and I have to say I really like this. What I like the most about it is that its easily buildable. So whether you want a day time look or a full-on party look, it can be achieved by this mascara. This mascara is also only £4.99 at the moment in Superdrugs. In conclusion, it's affordable but valuable. Well recommended I think.
