Playing With Purple | Eyes

I seldom use purple eyeshadows, even though they compliment brown eyes, I just don't seem drawn to them. However, feeling adventurous I decided to have some fun with one look and two lip colors.

I still don't think purple will be a permanent color for my shadow usage, but it's definitely something I'll be keeping in mind.

Rimmel London | Wake Me Up Fundation

  Hey, guys! I come to you with a post on something I was really excited to try out: The Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 303 True Nude. I'd been hearing about this foundation for some time and how good it was before I decided to go ahead and look for it. Sadly, after looking in a lot of drugstores I was disappointed to find out the product was only available in Europe. However, being of this century we have the lovely internet and more precise, Ebay. Picking the color that matched me was even trickier that going to a drugstore and staring at it for hours. I had to go to the Rimmel site and compare, plus check blogs with the color I thought would be for me. After doing some digging I thought 303 True Nude would be good on me which I'm glad I was right.

 The foundation itself is very self explanatory with the name 'Wake Me Up' and once you smell it you understand even more. It has a citrus-y smell that does kinda "wake you up" but nothing too strong. As for coverage, it has a good coverage I'd say it's medium/build-able without being cake-y and goopie. However I did notice that when applied my skin looks so dull instead of more radiant (which I get with another foundation which I will talk about later) and I feel I have to work a bit to make myself look alive, but after blending it a bit it looked and felt nice. Also, the foundation does have shimmer in it but it's nothing that overpowers. You don't need a lot to cover the whole face, which is good. I did think it lasted all day considering the lack of primer and heat wave.

 Overall, it's a good foundation considering it's a drugstore foundation. It's a major set back that it's not sold here so I don't think I'll get it again. If you're willing to order it then by all means try it out. I looked very nice on my skin and I didn't feel clogged up at all. I know not everyone is into buying expensive brand foundations so this is definitely a good choice and it truly gives a very nice coverage. I'm not sure how it would fair on sensitive skins since it does have a scent. For now I enjoy it and it's something I will use until it's empty.

(This is how it looked on me without any photoshop or touch ups.)

Here's A Quick One | Rimmel Polish Duo

 I got this Rimmel nail polish duo at the drugstore $3 for both (there was a special). The pigment in the pink varnish is amazing, I only needed one coat and voila it was perfect. The only think is I don't think pink nail polish suits me personally. I wish I'd gotten a taupe color they had, boohoo. Anyway, I'm really happy with the finish look and I'll definetly be looking at more Rimmel nail polishes from now on!

Kate Moss For Rimmel London

  Even though this collection has been out for quite some time I hadn't seen in here in PR until this weekend. Being a limited edition product, be it drugstore or high-end, I was surprised it was $5 each. I would have expected them to be around $8. I only had two shades to choose from, which are the two I got, and I was eager to try out my first ever Rimmel lipsticks. When I got home I hurried to try them on, they're pigmented enough and they don't wear off easily but I do have a problem with them...THEY.HAVE.SCENT. Not just any scent, but a fruity scent. The type you smell on children's make-up. It's yucky and it makes me dizzy. I don't usually have such problems, I do like MAC's vanilla scents but this is way to much. Just when I got used to it I would get a whiff of them again. Regardless, if you don't mind the smell than you could get them they do go on pretty...maybe I'm just a tad bit OCD on it. Who knows?
