Foundation Review Friday: Rimmel 'Wake Me Up' Foundation


Do you remember a few years ago when everyone was talking about this foundation? This foundation was a favourite of mine back in high school when I was getting started in makeup and watching lots of beauty gurus YouTube. I honestly hadn't used it in years, but since decided to pick it up again and give it some love and see if it's as good as I remember it being!

The Claims

  • Gives skin a radiant glow
  • Prevents premature aging
  • Light, smooth texture
  • Poreless coverage
  • Natural, flawless finish

The Results

  • This foundation only comes in 5 different shades,which can be a bit frustrating for those with more fair or dark complexions. I use the lightest shade (Ivory), and I can only pull it off in the summer when I'm a bit darker than usual.
  • It has a really nice scent. Normally I'm not one to want scented face products but this scent is really fresh and mild. It doesn't linger at all once you apply it.
  • The so-called "radiant glow" comes from the fact that there is some shimmer to this foundation. Keep that in mind if shimmer isn't your thing. It isn't anything too crazy, but it is a bit noticeable when you're in the sun.
  • It feels very light and comfortable on the skin.
  • It doesn't cling to any texture or dry patches on the skin.
  • It lasts pretty well on the skin. I wore it out on hot days or at work and it still looked pretty good at the end of the day. 

The Verdict

I honestly forgot how much I really loved this foundation. It applies so well and lasts great too. If you're okay with the fact that you will sparkle a little bit under the sun, I highly recommend checking it out (hopefully there's a shade that matches you well!).

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit  in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm:  For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps:  Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish:  Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it.  Pros:  Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier.  Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
