Tesco Haul

Hello.

I picked up a few things in Tesco the other day and I thought I would share them.



Cleansing Wipes -
I always take my makeup off with wipes before I cleanse my face and often just choose the cheapest or whatever wipes are on offer. I bought these Tesco Sensitive Cleansing Wipes for 99p.

Concealer -
I'm running low on my Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer and decided to repurchase the Maybelline Super Stay 24 Hour Concealer. This is available here for £6.12 but I'm sure I paid slightly less.

Concealer -
After reading this Foundation Routine, I decided to try out Hannah's method of concealer. I bought the Rimmel London Hide The Blemish Concealer to try out. This is available here for £4.49.

Foundation -
As I have mentioned before, I am currently on the search for the perfect foundation. I picked up the Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation as I am a fan of Rimmel London's foundations and this was the cheapest there. This is available here for £5.99.

All makeup is currently on offer for 3 for 2 at Tesco.

Review: Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer

Hello!

Another beauty review for you today! I am continuing with the theme of my 'everyday' products with the concealer I am using at the moment, Rimmel London's Match Perfection Concealer.



I first bought this concealer a while ago when I first tried out the Match Perfection foundation. I repurchased this recently when I was on a budget and this was the least expensive in the shop.

This concealer is not the best I have tried, although not the worst. The formula is a bit more of a liquid-y cream for my liking and I'm not a huge fan of the packaging.



The squeezy tube often results in too much product coming out and not being able to go back in. I really hate the little brush as well. It is a lovely home for germs and bacteria and not great for those with problem skin.



The range of shades for this concealer is pretty appalling. There are only 3 shades available and, even though the same shade in the foundation is perfect, I have found that the shade 'Ivory' is a little too light for my skin. The next darkest shade, however, is too dark!

As well as the shade range, the coverage is also slightly disappointing. Although the coverage is a bit better than many other concealers I have tried, it still isn't the best, especially as I have bad skin.

I am going to be trying out a different method of applying concealer, inspired by this foundation routine, so I will see how this concealer works using that method and may update you in the future.

Rimmel London Match Perfection Concealer is available here for £5.99.

Review: Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation

Hello lovelies!

I have decided that if I stuck to just school/university related topics on here this blog may end up being quite boring. For that reason, I have decided to share my love, and sometimes hate, for beauty products too. You don't mind, do you?

I thought that the best products to start with were my 'everyday' products so expect quite a few reviews over that next couple of days.

I decided to start with my foundation, Rimmel London's Match Perfection foundation.



As you can see from the worn bottle, I've been using this baby for a while. The one I currently have is my 4th/5th bottle so I have used this sufficiently enough to review it.

Considering the amount of times I have repurchased this foundation, you would think that I am in love with this product. However, I am currently on the search for the perfect foundation.

Don't get me wrong, I do think this is a good foundation. The formula is good; it isn't too thick so it feels light on the skin and not like a mask.



One difficulty I have with foundation is finding a shade which matches my skin tone well. I was really impressed with this foundation as I did match my skin tone well, which is probably why it's called 'Match Perfection'.

The only thing that disappoints me slightly is the coverage. I have pretty bad skin so I need a foundation with good coverage. Unfortunately, the coverage of this foundation is just OK.

I would highly recommend this foundation to anyone with fairly good skin but for those with problem skin, the coverage is not quite as great as you would need it to be.

Overall, I do think this is a good product but I will have to move on in my search for the perfect foundation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Rimmel London Match Perfection Foundation is available here for £8.99.
