First up are two foundations which I have been a fan of for a long time now right from when I first started wearing makeup. I have wrote a few blog posts about Rimmel foundations over the years and I had used up all my bottles in the past and hadn't repurchased any in a while. The current foundations in my collections just weren't doing it for my this past month so I used the Rimmel 2for12 pound -my pound sign on my laptop isn't working :(- promotion and picked up formulas I know work for me. The Lasting Finish 25 hour and the Match Perfection foundations are both easy to wear, blendable long wearing foundations which I know no matter what my face is doing on the day, this foundation will work. I'll keep you updated gals!
I've also picked up the Nyx Tame and Frame tinted brow pomade in Brunette to try since I think it is time I joined the pomade hype. Late to the game I know but I have never really been too fuzzed about brows since I'v had big boys for years, but lately they seem to look a little more sparse then normal so I think I need some help. I haven't tried it yet so I can't give you my opinion on it, lets just hope the the colour works for me!
I thought it was about time I started looking after my skin now I am 24 this year so I picked up the Clinique Pep Start Eye Cream to try and see if I like it. Whether or not I will remember to use it every day I don't know but I'm excited to give it a whirl.
Lastly I was given the Urban Decay Naked Flush palette from a friend for Christmas and I've been so busy this month I haven't actually took it out of the box yet... I'm sorry. I am really going to focus working this into my daily routine and see how I get on with it. I love Urban Decay's eye shade palettes so I know I will like the blush and contour shades, I just need to see if the shades work for me!
Most people would associate summer time with bright lip colours and daring shades. Then there is me, who wears the same shade of lipstick everyday from 5 different brands, I am a creature of habit. My current favourite shade is this soft nudey brown, which is not much different than my normal lip colour but better. I have quite a few different shades of this colour which I go between a lot of the time and I love them all equally as they are my favourite formula (which is moisturising and glossy for the record)
Even though I love all these lipsticks more or less equally, I do have one which I wear the most out of all of these 5 lipsticks and that is my Bodyshop lipstick. Sadly I can't find this style or shade anywhere on the website and the tube doesn't have a name or shade number which is really annoying. Anyway I love this lipstick because it is so moisturising on my lips, it reminds me more of a lip balm than a lipstick but unlike a lip balm, the colour consistency is amazing. I usually first put the lipstick on first thing before I leave the house and then once after I have had my lunch at work and it lasts the rest of the time no problem. It keeps my lips hydrated and plumped all through the day and it doesn't dry out my lips after a few hours which I love.
Then I have my Clinique Pop Lip Colour in 02 Bare Pop which is pretty dreamy and a beautiful shade. Just like the Bodyshop Lipstick, the Clinique lipstick is super moisturizing on the lips and gives a great colour pay off considering how moisturizing it is. I got this in a pack of three shades and this definitely the shade I reach for the most as it is so easy to wear and goes with any makeup look.
Rimmel lipsticks are one of my favourite as you can't go wrong with the brand, the pigmentation of their lipsticks are amazing, the shade ranges are brilliant and you can get any shade in any formula in the range. I have three currently that I always pick up and they are the Moisture Renew in 220 Heather Shimmer, Moisture Renew Sheer and Shine in 400 Good Mauve and Lasting Finish Lipstick in 066 Heather Shimmer. Now although I have two lipsticks with the same name they are slightly different as you can see on the swatches so I haven't wasted my money. I love these lipsticks because they keep my dry lips moisturised and the colour pay off is amazing as you can see in the photo below.
My last lipstick which is becoming a new favourite after I had forgotten about it for a while... is the Elf Mineral lipstick in the shade Beautiful Berry. This is my favourite product I have tried from Elf and for the price tag the lipstick is great quality and a beautiful colour, as the name suggests. I have just found out is has been discontinued which I am so sad about.

The one drugstore brand who I think know their foundations really well are Rimmel, they dominate my foundation collection by more than half and every formula they come out with suits my skin so well. Rimmel is one of the first brands I started using when I dove into makeup in my teens and I still love the same products now.
My all time favourite foundation and the first one I ever tried out is the Rimmel Wake Me Up. This foundation gives me perfect glowy skin and a little subtle shimmer to my skin. It has a medium coverage so it covers most blemishes and it doesn't cake on my face no matter how much product I put on. yay! The shimmer to the foundation isn't to everyone's taste but I love the glow it gives me and that's why this foundation is a staple in my summer makeup bag. Plus for a smaller size bottle the product lasts for ages!
I have this product in 100 Ivory and 200 Soft Beige
Another formula I love from Rimmel is their Match Perfection foundation which was my holy grail foundation for about 2 years. This is my bog standard good skin in a bottle foundation, no matter what my skin is playing at at the time this foundation comes to the rescue every time. It again is a medium coverage which is build-able depending on how your skin is behaving and how much product you want to use. I specially like to use this formula when my skin is particularly red and patchy as you can never till once I have this foundation on. This foundation is my go to holiday/tanned shade.
I have this product in 201 Classic Beige
My last formulation I am going to talk about is the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hr foundation. I have this foundation in both the Nude and the Comfort Serum, to be completely honest I can't tell the difference between them but I love them both. This is the foundation which is 9/10 times in my handbag with me in case I need a touch up or I am on the move somewhere. Like the match perfection formula this foundation gives me good skin when my skin isn't particularity behaving and can be built up to give more than the medium coverage that it gives with one layer.
I have this product in 103 True Ivory and 200 Soft Beige.
One thing I love about Rimmel Foundations is the price, you can't go wrong with a good foundation for £7.99. It doesn't matter what brand I try for a new base - and I am trying to branch out a little bit- I always find my way back to Rimmel as I know their products work for my skin. All three formulas blend really easily into the skin so that it doesn't look like you have a layer of slap on and they last all day.

Which formula is your favourite?
One blogger that I always keep up to date with is Corrie from Dizzybrunette3. I have been following her for a while now and I love reading her posts. One product that she has raved about on her YouTube channel here and what has been talked about by many other bloggers has been the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation.
I am a dedicated Rimmel foundation lover I have three foundations all of different formulas in my collection and I really wanted to try out this new formula as well, but I couldn't justify buying another foundation when I didn't really need one.
Then Corrie uploaded her January Favourites video here and it was enough to make me finally buy it. When it comes to foundation I always trust Corrie because although I don't know her at all, I know that she knows when a foundation is good.
So I finally have it, for £8 which is a bargain and makes me think why didn't I just buy it anyway. I picked it up the shade 103 Ivory, I do want to get a new foundation in a darker shade because most of my foundations are skin colour and quite pale but I played it safe with this foundation to make sure I liked it.
First impressions of it:
Like my other Rimmel foundations, it is a good medium to full coverage which hasn't ended up cakey on my face. The colour is a more tanned ivory shade which is just what I wanted (I recently have a random tan appear on my shoulders and neck so they colour suits it perfectly) It is easy to blend in and cover any redness or pigmentation I have. Plus I do find that this foundation does last all day, I don't need to reapply it or add any powder to it through out the day.
So far so good, i'm interested to see whether I love it just as much as I love my Rimmel Wake Me Up and Match Perfection foundations.

If any of you have tried this foundation let me know whether you think it is worth a purchase :)
