Review: Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation

I finally got to try out the The Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25 Hour foundation after about a couple of  weeks of it just roaming around my makeup kit.

Going back to a couple of weeks ago, i was determinate to find a foundation that would offer me both : Quality and a great price. After hours of search (yes! hours, when it comes to make up, i like taking my time. Reading ingredients, and pretty much any info i might find in the packaging) Right next to the Rimmel Stay Matte powder foundation, which i have been wanting to try for the longest time, there it was... It comes in six different shades and even though it was extremely easy for me to find my perfect match ( I wear a 200/ Soft Beige) I do believe, they r lacking in darker/deeper tones. 

 The packaging was alright, just a 1 Fl. Oz tube. Nothing fancy but 1000x better than the glass bottles with no pump. You get good control of how much product you want out.

I was definitely sold after i read that it was Sweat, heat and humidity proof for up to 25 hours! And that it was "enriched with a revitalizing mineral complex and moisturizing aqua primer, making the skin feel energized and hydrated all day"

To that last statement i can give my word that it is totally true, I could not believe how great my skin felt after I applied it! This foundation is soooo light, It did not feel like I had anything on! My skin was definitely breathing through it. The coverage was great for a day time/ everyday foundation, it's not full coverage , and it you have blemishes like I did, the first time I tried it, they will start peaking through in with in a few hours, for me it was around four hours but take in consideration that even though I was out and about, it was only 36-39 * F out!

I am really happy with The overall look of this product once applied, my face didn't look or feel cakey , nor shiny not even at the end of day ( 9 hours after application!! ) . It didn't sink into my fine lines/expression lines until after the first 4 hours but it was not anything crazy just a tiny little bit, like I said above at the end of the day it was looking great and I did not once retouched my makeup that day.

 I think this is a great foundation, at a great price (it only goes for $7.49) and will definitely be a staple in my kit for now on!!

Thank you so much for stopping by, don't forget to follow my blog so that you don't miss out on my updates and posts!!

How to: 5 Easy Steps to Perfect Eyebrows TUTORIAL

Eyebrows are one of the most important part of a successful  makeup, since they are frame of your eyes. No matter how great your eye shadow or foundation application is, your eyebrows have the power of either make or brake you whole makeup look. So today I decided to share a  very easy and fast  step by step of: How I do my Eyebrows.

Let's Get started:

1) The first thing I do is: Comb my brows.

2) I grab either a brow pencil or a brown gel liner. (Never use black, no matter how dark your hair might be) Then starting on the base of the brow and leaving about a 1/4 free of color in the inner corner, I go ahead a draw the arch of it. (Follow figure A.)

After that i basically do the same at the top. Making sure that i don't outline the eyebrow, since i'm not trying to make them thicker, I just want to define them. (Follow Figure B)

3) Then I go ahead and comb my eyebrow through, this step will help me blend any harsh lines (follow fig. A).

Next I take my favorite brow kit (E.L.F Eyebrow Kit in medium) and only using the powder part of it, I apply it all over my brows  (Including that first 1/4 in which I did not put any product earlier) with the help of an angle brush. (Follow fig. B). after that i comb them once again. 

4) For this step I use a synthetic brush and my glamouflage concealer from Hard Candy to outline my brow (top and base of it - Follow fig. A and B) This step is going to get rid of any mistakes I might have done and it will also help me shape them to my liking at the same time as it highlights my eyes.Last but not least: Blend, Blend, Blend!! (Fig. C)

5) The final result... defined yet soft looking brows!!

NYX Eyeshadow Base, Matte and Pearled.

So... here goes another Review and this one in particular i have been thinking about doing ever since i bought this 2 items,  about a month ago or so....

An Eye shadow base its a must have for all of  us  makeup lovers around the globe, not just because how beautiful and bright our shadows may look when we prime our eyes but because its the right path to achieve an all day lasting makeup look.

Now about the Nyx Eyeshadow base i must say i'm in love! not only because of its price (which is very Low) but because of the great quality this little friend has to offers us.
They are very easy to apply and blend, you could do it with either a brush or your own finger, Just a tiny bit goes a long way, it doesn't crease (not so sure about oily leads tho) and the most important part they sure make your colors POP!

The Shimmery/Pearled one: Feels a little rusty and by that i mean: you can definitely feel the glitter that's on it if you rub it in between your fingers but not enough to either hurt your eyes or stop you from buying it.
The thing i really like about this one is that you can just leave it or use it as your brow bone highlight , its soo sparkly and pretty! but be careful because even if your shadow is matte it would turn it into shimmery in no time!

Now passing to the Matte one: I have to say its my favorite of this two (I know they have it on skin tone too), and this is because it keeps the eyeshadow soul as i like to call it, LOL. What i mean by this is that it wont alter it a bit (as the pearled does, when even a matte shadow would look shimmery) Plus its softer to the touch.

But other than that they both work pretty good.
They are a  little scented but nothing to really worry about as the smell is not too strong and it fades away very quickly, It comes in a gigantic 7gr jar and for only $7 its completely an awesome deal!

And there you have it, this is my review , i hope you guys  find it helpful. ;)
