Foundations -Rimmel - Wake Me Up
gele4ka 4/24/2013 8:09:00 PM
I was really excited to try out this product after reading all the great reviews. I bought the foundation and the concealer and I was unfortunately disappointed with both of the products. The foundation is not dewy on me at all and that's what I was looking for in a foundation. I found it very streaky, it took me a long time to blend it in and it looked so cakey that I had to take it off immediately. (it didn't feel good on my face either). I might give this another try and might use it with another moisturizer underneath hopefully that will help because then it's just a waste. I do love the pump and the packaging, very cute. The smell is also very fresh and clean. It also does run very light in the color range. It goes from very pale shades straight to tanned ones and there's nothing in between for my olive tone skin. The concealer was a disappointment as well. It has chunks of glitter in it and that's definitely not what I need because it makes me look like a disco ball and it accentuates the blemishes and dark under eye circles even more. It does provide a decent coverage though, I just wish it didn't have all that glitter in it. Overall the I'd give the foundation a 6/10 and the concealer a 5/10

So far, my favorite concealer of all time! Blends like a DREAM, covers my dark circles and makes me look awake. It's very light but at the same time covers pretty bad dark circles. I'm not a fan of the little sponge applicator but it gets the job done and helps blending too. Also, the price is great and overall, the best concealer I've found at the drugstore.

AMAZING! I have almost all the colors and I love them and use them daily. They are very pigmented, they don't crease and they look fabulous. Also, they are super cheap and the quality is beyond amazing. Definitely worth the money! The only one I'm disappointed with is "Barely Branded" which is a beige with slight shimmer to it. It goes on chalky, it's not pigmented at all and it's hard to apply. It doesn't go on smooth like the rest of them and if you put too much by accident it will look very bad so you have to be very careful. Overall, I still love them and I hope they come out with more colors:)

My hair is very damaged due to recent bleaching and dying so after reading a tons of reviews I had high hopes for this product. If you are looking for something that will make your hair feel silky and shiny that wouldn't be the product for you because on it's own it is quite dry on your hair so you do need to use a conditioner afterwards. Also, the smell is pretty bad and strong so I don't suggest skipping the conditioner. It's a must! Overall, it's a good product to use but not on it's own and it's mad cheap! UPDATE: I used it a couple of more times and it made my hair worse!! It now looks and feels so much more damaged, I don't think I'll be using it again. WASTE of money
