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....

Garnier Moisture Match: Combination to oily skin Review

Tried the Garnier Moisture Match for combination to oily skin today. This was so much better than the one for dull skin. It was a very creamy formula and it felt really fresh to apply. My skin felt instantly better and doesn't make my skin more oily. It also has a very fresh scent of cucumber mixed with flowers. Really enjoyed this, I really recommend it especially as a morning moisturizer.
