Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

If any of you made the transfer over from my old blog, you'll know I've been wanting to try out the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation! And I've finally got my hands on it! And by heck its a good un'!

So as you can see, the packaging is up to scratch! I love the bright orange lid, as its really summer-y and is embossed with the signature Rimmel crown! I love the fact that the bottle is glass, because I'm less likely to split the packaging! The pump is brilliant too!

The actual foundation is genuinely great too! When i first bought it and swatched it on my hand, i was shocked with horror from glitter particles! But fear not, when applied to the face, the glitter seems to disappear, and your face looks really fresh and glowy!

I LOVE this foundation, and even uses it under the eyes on 'nearly no makeup days' as the anti-fatigue effect is fantastic, and really makes me look more awake! It would definitely work as an anti-fatigue affect concealer! It even smells nice! How often does that happen!?

However, if your already quite oily or glowy, then this may not be the one for you. I'd recommend something a little more matte, like the Match Perfection, as i find it quite useful when my skin is going through an oily stage!!!

Hope you enjoyed!! Leanne :)xx

My Top 5 Makeup Brushes!

Hello my little lovelies!!! Today i thought i'd show you my favorite 5 makeup brushes. Now i know this post is a little crammed with Real Techniques Brushes, but hey, these are the brushes i like! I've not tried hundreds of makeup brushes, but I've tried a fair few, and these are the ones that turned out tops! This might change overtime, as i try more and more brushes (i.e. Mac, but my budget doesn't stretch that far yet)

Real Techniques Powder Brush:- £12.99 

I love the softness of this brush, and its perfect for applying powder, (I use it with my Stay Matte powder that everyone raves about, but personally i think the natural collection pressed powder is much better myself.) It applies a nice even layer of powder across my face, leaving a natural look.

Real Techniques Setting Brush:- £8.99 

I know that its not meant to be a contouring brush but that's what i use it for and it works perfectly. It fits under my cheek bones, and leaves a really nice contoured look. I tend to use this with a matte bronzer as im not keen of the shimmery ones. And its relatively cheap compared to most makeup brushes. This one is also very soft!

Seventeen Eye shadow Brush:- £2.00

Firstly can we all just appreciate the price? £2 for an excellent eye shadow brush! It picks up the product well and evenly dispenses it across your eyelid. I actually can use this for 'crease work' but this can be rather tricky and i wouldn't try this if your only a beginner! I definitely advise you try this brush though!

Real Techniques Expert Face Brush:- £9.99

This brush is really dense, and very soft yet again! That's one think i love about the Real Techniques collection, their all SO soft! I find that this brush is great to apply cream and powder blush. I especially love the finish that is given when i use this brush to apply cream blush. If you want a higher coverage foundation brush.

Real Techniques Stippling Brush:- £11.99

I use this brush to 'buff' in my foundation and concealer, and it works a treat! Its good if you want a low-medium coverage. It leaves your foundation looking really nice and glow-y. I  think this is probably my favorite brush of all time as its really that good!! I LOVE it!

Hope you enjoyed this post, my little pumpkin pies!
