Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

 

This product has been making its little way into people's makeups bags and I have resisted it for long enough. The reason for this is that I cannot justify spending £8.99 on a foundation as I'm currently saving up for roughly 3 holidays in the short space of 3 months (one of which is in a few weeks + another at the start of next month) however when I saw that Wilkinson's were selling this for £4.98, I had to get it!

The first thing I noticed is that it looks exactly like an optical illusion dress but for foundations! (So that would make it an optical illusion bottle, right?) Which I quite like about it as it stands out from all of the other drug store foundations. It also has a bright orange cap which just draws you in.

I decided to wait until this morning to try it out and I was pretty disappointed by it. I've read so many reviews, both good and bad, saying that it covers all X person's blemish's and it gives Y person a shimmer so I knew exactly what to expect. So I'm glad that it covered up most of my blemish's but there was not enough shim-shimmery in it for me, personally.

I noticed that as the day wore on, the foundation remained (Probably due to my primer + pressed powder) but underneath my eyes, the shim-shimmeryness that I expected this morning had finally appeared and gathered there. Whether this is pure coincidence or how I applied it, I'm not sure. But none the less, I cannot fault it for that. I'm sure that my opinion about this foundation will change when I use it more.

Have you used this foundation?

  5. I avoid shimmery base products. It's because I'm older that they don't suit my skin. It's a really good review.
