Review: Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

Thanks to Rimmel and Influenster, I recently received the new Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation, expected to hit stores in January 2014!

I'm weary when it comes to drugstore brands, but I tried it... and was AMAZED!

It is a very lightweight, full coverage, buildable foundation. (I am so impressed with the coverage!) And it works wonders for my skin in this colder, dryer weather. Creamy and very pigmented, not at all chalky!

Once I am done with this bottle of AMAZING, I fully intend to buy more. Fortunately, a little goes a long way, so I won't be running out before it hits stores two months from now...

And even better-
Rimmel London is SUPER AFFORDABLE! Perfect for beauties on a budget!

It even looks beautiful in harsh lighting!

Review: Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation

Lately I've been using the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Fondation in 805 Ivory, as I'd had a few people recommend it to me.

It's smooth, covers wonderfully, and gives me a beautiful glow. However, I do not like to use it on its own, despite the fact it has a primer mixed in. I still apply my Smashbox foundation primer beforehand, and the makeup stays for as long as it needs to, until I take it off.

It is a bit drying though... I've found that using YesTo Tomatoes moisturizer at night revitalizes my skin while I sleep, and then I wear Murad Oil-Control Mattifier during the day to keep my skin (and makeup!) in check.

Overall, I absolutely love the Covergirl foundation, and am glad I found a workaround for the drying issue. I will definitely buy it again. As far as recommending it to others, I would suggest it only to those who have oily or well-moisturized skin.
