Rimmel Wake me Up Concealer Review

Hello beauties!

Μα πειτε μου! Ποσο υπέροχες μερες ειναι αυτές οι τελευταιες του Οκτωβρίου;

Ανυπομονω για το τριημερο που ειναι στο κατωφλι μας, για βόλτες, ήλιο, καφέδες, φίλους και γιατι οχι, και ενα τελευταίο μπανιο στη θάλασσα!

Που θα πατε; Τι θα κανετε;

Εγω σημερα θα σας πω για ενα προιόν που θα φωτίσει το τριημερο σας!

Rimmel Wake me Up Concealer

Τα προιόντα Rimmel τα ξερουμε όλες. Δυστυχως δεν κυκλοφορούν στην Ελλαδα αλλα πλεον εχουμε μάθει να κανουμε τις αγορές μας online.

Ετσι λοιπόν μαζι με τα Wet & Wild Mega Last Matte Lipisticks από το Beauty Joint παρήγγειλα αυτο το υπέροχο concealer που ειχα ακουσει τόσα πολλά.

Θα ξεκινήσω λέγοντας οτι δεν έχω μαυρους κύκλους και δε χρειάζομαι κάλυψη και γι’αυτό τα περισσότερα concealers στη συλλογή μου φέρνουν πιο πολύ σε highlighter.

Παρόλα αυτά, παντα φοράω κάτι κάτω απο τα μάτια μου για φωτεινότητα.

Έτσι περίμενα να ειναι και αυτο και δεν έπεσα εξω.

Είναι ενυδατικό,  φωτεινό,  με ελαφριά κάλυψη, δε «μπαίνει» στις ρυτίδες και κρατάει αρκετα καλά.

Έχει ωραιο κλασσικό sponge applicator που το κανει εύκολο να απλώσετε κατευθείαν το προιόν κάτω από τα μάτια σας.

Η σύνθεσή του είναι ελαφριά, απλώνεται πολύ καλά και με τα δάχτυλα αλλά και με ενα μικρό stipple brush που χρησιμοποιώ εγω.

Το χρησιμοποιω εδω και 3 εβδομάδες και εχει γίνει αγαπημενο μου, πρωί και βράδυ!

Μόλις το βάζω, νιώθω αμέσως ανανεωμένη, ξύπνια, οπως λεει και το ονομά του και φρέσκια!

Η απόχρωση, αν και δε φαίνεται καλά στη φωτογραφία ειναι η Very Fair/Light και η τιμή του μεσω ιντερνετ ηταν περιπου στα 6 ευρω. 

Πολύ καλή αναλογικά με τη πολύ καλή ποιότητά του.

Πως σας φαίνεται; Το εχετε δοκιμάσει;

Ποιό ειναι το αγαπημένο σας concealer;

as always,

stay healthy & beautiful

SKIN

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Review

Hello my beauties!

How are you?
 The holidays are getting closer and closer and I would love for you to tell me what you have planned to do. And I mean from where you are going to spend the holidays, to the outfit you're wearing to dazzle the crowds and the makeup you have on your mind for so many special nights to come!

But before that, let me tell you about a face powder I was hearing constanly on youtube and reading on blogs, that I had to try it myself.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder

As a girl with a combination/oily skin I am always looking out for the perfect powder that will "seal" my foundation and cover my face with this invisible veil that will make my skin looks dewy but matte, natural but carefully made up. I know, this sounds a little bit dreamy to you, but a girl can always hope.
Day after day, for the last two months, while watching my favourite beauty youtubers, I noticed that most of them kept talking about this powder and placing it next to high end products. They were talking how this powder keeps your face matte for so long that no other, even high end, can.

So I decided to give it a go. As you may know, in Greece, there are no Rimmel products, so I had to order it online. This time I used for the first time the fantastic feelunique.com and with free delivery I got this baby for 5.19 euros! 
I chose the shade Transparent beacause I wasn't sure how pigmented they are.
But it is rather whitish although it blends well with your skin and becomes invisible after a while. 
The powder does what it says, to my big surprise! Normally, two hours after I have powdered my face, I would need to blot my face or re-powder or something. But with this one, I didn't  have to do that not before 5-6 hours which is amazing considering I have extremely oily T-zone!
I love this powder! It is not cakey, it has a nice powdery smell, does not cloge my pores and lasts a lot!

I would totally recommend this powder to those you struggle with oily skin and shiny T-zone as it is amazing! It is ridicullously cheap so you won't regret buying it even if you don't like it. Unlikely though!

Have you tried this powder? Or you have another favourite to keep the shine away?
Please do tell!!!

As always....
stay healthy & beautiful
