I hope you're all well, I realise it's been two weeks since I last posted but with going back to school and generally trying to get back into routine after the summer madness!
It's review time and as you should all know by now, I love a good product review, because it normally involves brand new makeup, yippee!
Now where do I start today, these two products are AMAZING (yet cheap!) they've been living in my collection for little over a week and have already become my dailies. I'm a woman in love, and I don't see myself snapping out of this muliticoloured powder/nice smelling primer induced love anytime soon!
I love primers, so much that I have a primer draw. I know it's a little excessive, but every makeup addict will agree with me that finding a primer for your skin can be so hard. They don't always do what they say on the tin so to speak. I find they tend to dry my skin out, and leave my make up cakey. Over the years, I've gotten through quite a few ranging from Avon to MAC and even that seemed to dry my skin out. I was yet to find that PERFECT primer, and that is the story of how I came to find this one from Rimmel..
The consistency is unlike anything I have ever felt before with a Primer, alot of them have quite a plastic like texture to them because they are silicone based (this doesn't help if you suffer from patches of dry skin.) Where as this one feels more like a lotion than it does a primer, and it smells quite similar to most Nivea products, it's a nice clean refreshing smell that I enjoy having on my face. Again I'm sure you will agree with me when I say I don't like wearing products that don't smell nice, because quite often you can smell them all day as they're in such close proximity to your nose. The packaging is a simple white tube, with a blue lid & writing, so really it won't look too offensive sat on you're dressing table. ( or rammed in your primer drawer..)
Most chemists/supermarkets supply Rimmel make up these days, with it being a cheap affordable alternative to more high end brands. This particular product retails at around £6.99 and contains 30ml of product. This really is such a good price for the product you're buying, and I don't think you'll find a cheaper better primer than this! If you think you have let me know! This was nearly half the price of my Smashbox primer (£11.99), and it works so much better for my skin type! It soothes my dry skin rather than sticking to it, and ticks off two of my three boxes when buying a make up product.
- Wearability.
- Good Value for money.
- Pigementation and colour pay off.
When I first looked at it, I thought the consistency was going to be a little bit on the chalky side of life, mainly because the colours are pastel so they look like chalk. But it's not at all, and it swatches beautifully onto your hand and applies beautifully onto your face! Again, most chemists supply NYX products, if you can't find one close to you these are available online and I will leave you guys links below! I picked this up for £9.50 and it's definitely worth the price for a finishing powder.
I still use my Rimmel Stay Matte powder to set my foundation & concealer, then once I've contoured, and added blusher I go all over my face with this badboy using a big fluffy Eco Tools powder brush, rather than using highlighter. Pairing this with the Rimmel Fix & Perfect primer is make-up setting perfection, I've been ill this week suffering from hot flushes and even then my make up still didn't budge! So I am one happy customer.

I love to share these products with you guys, and I really do enjoy writing this blog. Things may become a little slack soon because I've just got a new job working in a Kitchen, I'm so excited as I really love to cook and it's all homemade food & desserts. I'm going to try and blog once a week still, if not definitely twice a month! If you didn't know I'm always doing mini-reviews on my instagram, so feel free to follow:
