REVIEW: Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Moussse Foundation

Let me just say, I heard a lot of good things about this on the Youtube beauty community. I mean it's a great affordable price, and it's a matte finish! 

Although when I had purchased this, I noticed they only had a select few of color varieties to choose from (8). For most women who has mixed skin tones, you might have to mix two colors to get the 'perfect' shade for your skin tone. I purchased the color 200 Soft Beige. 

I applied the foundation with a beauty blender, since it's such a creamy consitency, personally a foundation brush would leave it a little streaky. As far as I knew, it blended pretty well and is a medium to full coverage foundation.

But then... I started to feel my skin feeling irritated (which has never happened to me before using any foundation). As soon as i noticed it, I took it off right away. It did leave me to break out a little bit, and left my skin a little bumpy on the lower part of my cheeks. I'm very sad to say that it didn't work out for me and don't know why or how it irritated my skin so much. (Whatever may be in the ingredients) I would say that if you want to try it out, go for it. But as soon as you feel a tingly feeling, take it off. It's not worth keeping it all day if you skin is going to break out and act crazy. 




$4.99 At most Drugstores

They describe this foundation as... "A feather light, oil free formula with an airy mousse texture that won’t feel heavy or greasy. Delivers all day shine control and blends flawlessly for a natural looking matte finish. Minimizes the appearance of pores. The weight is over – finally, shine has met its matte."

S E P H O R A HAUL !





I was looking for something new to use for my eyeliner. I've head a lot of good things about the SMASHBOX waterproof gel liner, I had a few other options such as the Bobbi Brown gel liner, and MACs black track... but for some reason I gravitated towards this one.

I'm happy to say i love the product! It's very creamy and VERY black. It has long staying power and easy to smudge if needed... but when it dries, it doesn't budge! I use a thin angle eyeliner brush to apply the product to have more control on the thickness of the liner I am doing. It also helps to perfect the liner even more. 

I definitely recommend this gel liner. They also have 6 other colors to choose from!!! 


What it is:
Waterproof, smudge-proof eyeliner.

What it is formulated to do:
Line and define the eye with this gel-formula that glides over the lid without pulling or tugging. The quick-dry formula sets quickly and stays put all day.

Walking around Sephora, they have a ton of brow products to offer. I noticed from Tartes line that they have a brow gel, and this was before I found that that Anastasia was coming out with something similar...So i bought this to try it out since I always use brow powder to fill in my eyebrows.

The finish of this product is great! You can build up your color to a more natural look or a dramatic brow. And it doesn't hurt that it's waterproof! They have 3 color options, which is my opinion... should have more, since there are tons of different hair colors and tones out there!. But other than that, it's a great buy! It comes with a dual spoolie and angled liner brush so there is no need to buy one.

What it is:
An Amazonian clay-infused brow mousse for perfect arches that stay beautiful all day. 

What it does:
Take the guesswork out of arch perfection with this Amazonian clay-infused brow mousse. The formula’s light, airy consistency allows the product to naturally glide onto brows and blend seamlessly—no worries about harsh lines or waxy build-up. The Amazonian clay intuitively identifies your skin type to deliver benefits and restore harmony. This mousse minimizes oil around the hair follicle to balance skin and keep pigment in place, while naturally nourishing and hydrating to prohibit product from flaking or transferring.
