Rimmel London - Wake Me Up Concealer

In the color 030 Classic Beige

If you are anything like me, you will probably have a deep seeded hatred for Mondays. I'm not sure why I have this negative feeling but I put it down to the lack of sleep I get. Come Monday morning, instead of looking all refreshed and awesome, I'm generally more of a hot mess.

To try and combat this I recently purchased the Rimmel London Wake Me Up concealer!

I have tried the Wake Me Up Foundation (Look-e Here) but due to the sparkle, I feel as though its not always appropriate for the office. My office is rather casual so such a dewy finish is sometimes overstated, so I thought the concealer would be the happy medium.

I like this product, however, for me I don't know that it actually conceals, rather highlights. I use this under my eye and down my nose and it gives these areas a brighter finish.  It somewhat hides those pesky under eye circles and just brightens up the area.

I have to say though, when I first purchased it, I used it on blemishes and any redness I had, but I found rather than concealer these areas, it highlighted them more - which was not cute. So If you are looking for a product to strictly conceal, this probably isn't the best for you. 

It retails for around the $15 mark - which isn't too high considering it is a larger tube of product. 

All in all, even though I don't think it really 'conceals' I really like this product. Not sure if I will repurchase as yet, but a little goes a long way so don't think I will need to any time soon. 

Until Next Time,

Rimmel London - Natural Bronzer

It is no secret that we are in the middle of a very chilly winter here in Sydney. However, if you ask me, that is no reason not to bust out the bronzer! (I love me a good bronzer)

I thought I would share with you my absolute favorite bronzer that I have been using just about every day lately!

Excuse the Bad picture - This bad boy has been going strong since Feb!

People meet Rimmel London - Natural Bronzer!  Bronzer meet all the people!

Now we have the awkward introductions out of the way, let me tell you why I love this product so much.

Firstly, I will let you know I have the color 025 Sun Glow. Now, I wont lie to you - it most definitely was not love at first sight with this product.

It was given to as a Christmas gift and the packaging (which is the only thing I hate about it!) really deterred me from using it for a few good months. Eventually I gave in, and I have never looked back!

The color is warm, and has extremely good color pay off. You don’t need much to get a good amount of product, however, it isn’t so thick that you look like you you have been for a weekend with the cast of Geordie Shore.

There is minimal shimmer, which for me is a big plus as I can also use it to contour rather than just as purely a bronzer.

 

It retails for around $12 however, you can always get a discount by going to the cheaper outlets like Discount Chemist Warehouse or looking on Asos – the Rimmel London range there is always a lot cheaper!

Do you have any bronzer's to recommend?

Until Next Time
