Drugstore Foundation Haul

Good Morning Ladies,

Thursday already, one more day till the weekend, I hope your all doing well.

Recently I have read a lot of reviews about drugstore foundations and how brands such as Rimmel are really upping their game in the foundation department.

I have used various different high and low end foundations ranging from Mac, Nars, Estee Lauder to Collection 2000, and I was happy for a long time with all of them.

I really wanted to try out some of the cheaper drugstore options, so I went on a drugstore spending spree in July and picked up a few foundations (Rimmel). I have had a good couple of months to test them all out and below are my thoughts and opinions on each of them.

All of the foundations are in the colour “Soft Beige”

The first is the Rimmel “Wake me up foundation” I find this to be a really light and smooth foundation, I would say for me this has medium coverage. I normally use this day to day for work and if I wanted to put a face on to pop out to the shops. I like the smooth consistency and the packaging is very compact fits perfectly into a small cosmetic bag, as I travel quite a bit the slim design is perfect for me.

The second is the “Match Perfection” this just blends into my skin so easily, very natural  looking and again for me it is medium to high coverage, the colour suits my skin so perfectly. Rimmel have used smart-tone technology which helps give you flawless looking skin in every kind of lighting this foundation has definitely worked for me it gives me an illuminating finish and as the colour blends in with my natural colour so well, it almost looks like I am wearing a highlight on my cheeks it gives me a very sheen finish.  

The last one is the “Rimmel 25 hours lasting finish foundation” This is comparable to my Mac studio finish, I was really impressed with this, and this has to be my favourite of the lot. It has medium to high coverage depending on how much product you apply. Hides away any blemishes and is long lasting, it gives me a fresh look all day long. It is very hydrating in fact all three are, now that the winter months, and the fresh cold air is drawing in I don’t find that I have dry skin at all,  this is a result for me because I have previously suffered with flaky dry skin.

I have also noticed with a new skin care regime and these foundations my skin is a lot more brighter, and illuminating. I am very pleased with those products and I hope they give you the best results also.

I have purchased these foundations in the Uk from Superdrugs, Wilkinson and Boots.

And I believe Superdrugs has an offer on the stay match for £5 at the moment which is a bargain.

Hope you enjoyed reading,

Please leave me a comment, until next time

Keep warm J
