Rimmel Lasting Finish 25H Foundation

I feel so behind the 8 ball when it comes to foundations. I was determined not to buy any until I needed a replacement no matter how many rave reviews of foundations I had read. When finally I did need foundation, I bought a few, the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25H Foundation With Comfort Serum (try saying that 10 times fast!) being one of them.  

 From Rimmel London (Aus)- "Instant perfect coverage that feels extra comfortable and lasts all day. Blends flawlessly, seamlessly, instantly and easily into the skin. Sweat, heat, humidity and transfer proof for up to 25 hours."

The bottle is packaged in a 30 ml glass bottle with red lid and red accents on the label. I'm not a huge fan of the colour red, but actually like the look of this bottle.


Lifting off the lid reveals a handy pump-top dispenser.


The consistency of the foundation is creamy but I would still class it is a fluid.

I always wear a separate SPF, but thought it was worth noting that this foundation has an SPF of 20. I bought shade 200 Soft Beige. It is a great colour for my skintone.

The product had a slight synthetic floral scent that I'm not a huge fan but it is subtle so doesn't put me off wearing it.

I have applied with both an oval foundation brush and damp Real Techniques sponge. Both work very well. The foundation spreads evenly and blends well. I don't experience any streaking or creasing in lines. 

I would say that this product provides a medium coverage. My skin looks more even, but I still need to use a concealer.

The foundation gives me a satin finish, not completely matte yet not dewy either. It feels lightweight on the skin, not heavy or cakey. After application this product remain slightly tacky, but a dusting of powder, something I always do anyway sets it. 

25 hour wear is a huge claim and one I have no intention of testing. The foundation has been through the test when it comes to hot weather and sweating. During this warm and often humid weather I have experienced no fading or patchiness from start to finish of wear, generally being around 7 hours. 

I am loving this Rimmel foundation, have you tried it?

    25 hours . . .that's more than a full day. Yes, that is quite a claim. Glad you identified a foundation you like!

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
