BUDGET BEAUTY | Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review
This particular foundation has received a lot of hype from the YouTube and Blogger community! Although I am a little late on the blogging front with this product, I thought 'better late than never' and decided to publish this post for those of you who are on less of a budget. Me myself, I hate spending too much money on foundation, around £10 would be the most I would pay for a foundation, but most of the time, I switch it up depending on what offers are on. However, this foundation is so good that I could justify paying the full, and average price of £8.99.
First of all, the packaging is pretty awesome! The colour is very different to any typical foundation that you would find in a drugstore. The vibrant top makes it easy to see and grab in your makeup draw which is very convenient if you are in a rush. The only down side is, it is glass, (which I do like) but you cannot see how much product you have actually used, and because the bottle is glass, it means you cannot scrape out the remaining product, despite this, I do love the packaging.
Rimmel London claims:
The actual foundation does have a hint of sparkle to it, but don't worry! You wont look like a vampire from Twilight! The shimmer is very subtle and is not noticeable at all unless viewed very closely which isn't likely to happen. The fact that it has a slight shimmer to it makes it great, not only for every day use, but also for a night out! The foundation is very buildable, so for everyday use, you may just want to apply it once, but for a night out, you may want to build it up with a couple of coats to get extra coverage.
It doesn't look cakey or orange if built up so you wont look like an orange, but make sure you get your colour, I know it sounds stupid, but with this particular foundation, it is very easy to get the wrong shade, my number is 100 True Ivory as I am rather pale, but don't go too light, or too dark as it can look a bit odd. It does give a very dewy, natural finish, it doesn't dry matte, so if you prefer the matte finish, you would be better off setting it with the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.
I like the way the product can be dispensed, you can use the pump which is a very clean and efficient way of getting the product out, or you could unscrew the top and get the product out that way, although I am not quite sure why one would do that if pump is available but if you do not like the pump function, there is an alternate way in which you can dispense the product.
It doesn't just come in three standard colours:
The product does have great staying power and durability! Lasting approximately 8-10 hours, its great for everyday use and also for nights out! Just make sure you blend it in well and set it sufficiently.
The price for this product does vary between £6.00-£10.95 depending where you decide to purchase it from.

-Asda £8.99
-Tesco £8.99
-Wilkinsons CURRENTLY £4.95 but not for much longer! (Normal price £8.99)

I hope I have convinced you that buying from the high street can be just as good, if not better, than some higher end foundations. Let me know how you got on with it in the comments below! Have a nice day and I shall see you next time!
