I have recently been
on a HUGE drugstore haul, I’m a sucker for big name brands like MAC and Bobbi
Brown ect..but since I’m having a baby I have started to build up a “drug
store” or pharmacy collection of makeup especially foundation. I need to save
money!
One of these buys was
the Rimmel London “STAY MATTE” liquid mousse foundation. It has a huge
following behind it and I really wanted to see what all the fuss about it was!
As I’m in LOVE with Rimmel Londons “WAKE ME UP” foundation I had High
expectations!
Rimmel Londons claim
for this foundation is ” Lightweight, shine control, feather light, liquid
mousse blends flawlessly for natrual looking, all day shine control. Silky
smooth formula leaves a perfectly matte, baby soft finish. Lightweight texture
won’t feel heavy or greasy.”
This foundation comes
in 5 shades so it’s not very versatile and doesn’t cater to all skin tones so
that’s not great.
These are very big
claims, but I’m a sucker for new brands and especially at the moment I’m loving
pocket friendly beauty! So coming in at €7.95 in boots stores (I got mine in
penny’s for €6.55 ) it’s a definite bargain buy which is PERFECT for those
savers or even just a foundation to run down to the shops in.
The packaging is
quite simple just small little tube with the name of the brand and the product
name on the front with a small little claim, and then it has a cute purple lid,
it’s basic it’s easy for your makeup bag and easily transportable which is also
great for us!
Upon opening the
product I was happy it looked promising, i squeezed a bit out and yes it is a
liquid mousse foundation as it states.
When I originally
bought the product I was worried about the size as it is a tiny bottle, once I
applied it I seen how a little went a long way so it would be worth the buy
even at the small cost of €6.55. So applying a small amount onto my face I used
my “real techniques” foundation brush to apply it, on application I was quite
happy with the way it went onto the skin, it’s not the easiest to apply but it
really does feel silky smooth, it has a lightweight texture so I do also agree
with this statement.
I honestly don’t
think this is a very natural looking foundation, it soaks into my pores and
made my skin look terrible when I have quite good skin I get oily in patches
but apart from that my skin is quite normal. I wore this then for 4 hours and a
friend had pointed out that my skin had gone patchy and looked almost scaly! This
product when I first applied it felt great! But after only a short space of
time of 4 hours my skin felt greasy and I looked like I was wearing last nights
makeup… Not a good look at all!
Only 4 hours after
application
I can honestly say
that this will be put in the back up foundation collection for those lazy day
trips to the shops, but definitely not anything else, unless you can check your
face every hour to fix or top up I wouldn’t recommend this, I will not be
making the stay matte switch at all. I’m so disappointed especially after all
the good reviews I seen on it. Either they were sponsored reviews or the
reviewers where just plain mad I don’t know. I love Rimmel London but I have to
say that this was such a huge let down.
I BASH THIS PRODUCT!
Have you tried the
Rimmel London stay matte liquid mousse foundation? Do you bash it or would you
buy it? I’d love to know your opinions so leave your opinion in the comments
section or even on my Instagram! @beautyloverdose
