Well I was just looking around new bits in Boots, and there was a new foundation in the Rimmel stand (it's not new now - well I would say a few months) obviously when I got it, it was a new one out. It's the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Full Coverage Foundation. It was on offer when I got it, £4.99. I guess that was the introductory price, that was part of the reason I got it because it was cheap. Who doesn't love a bargain?!
Honestly I love this foundation, it's gorgeous and just suits my skin perfectly. I have oily skin, which makes foundation hard because they just move around my face and I feel like I need to powder so much, then my foundation looks cakey.. it's just a bloody nightmare to be quite honest! Anywho, with this foundation I don't need to powder as much, on some days I don't powder at all (when I'm wanting that dewy/glowy look - which is probably the only good thing about having naturally oily skin).
There are two different types of coverage with this Rimmel foundation. The one I got is the full coverage version. The other version is one I would be very willing to try! It's the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nude Foundation, which is a medium coverage.
The difference?
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Full Coverage Foundation - Is obviously full coverage, I would say it's quite build-able. I use one layer on my skin, then on areas that need more coverage, I add a bit more. The packaging is a red top.
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nude Foundation - I haven't tried this one, therefore I don't have any opinions on it. Only that I would love to try it it and it appeals to me. The packaging of this one is that it's got a white top. Therefore that's the difference between the full coverage and medium coverage.
Key points as to why I love this foundation so much..
- It's cheap, its amazing to have a good drugstore foundation because you don't have to spend £20+ on a foundation that is high-end.
- It has a comfort serum in, which I believe is the reason that I love it so much. It goes on so smooth and blends in lovely to my skin.
- The foundation lasts all day on me! It does claim to last 25 hours, but I do think that is ridiculous. I have never worn a foundation for that length on time in my life. But it does last on me around 9 hours, that's about how long I wear my foundation/makeup.
- It comes in a glass bottle - for some this is not good. However for me, it feels like an expensive foundation, but it's not. When it's in a glass bottle, it just looks nice and the packaging is good, I like the packaging. The reason others might think it's not good.. is because of travelling, you don't really want a glass bottle for travelling.
- It has a pump!!!! Some of you might be thinking, and?? It has a pump, don't all foundations have a pump?! Unfortunately not, I have my M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid and Nars Sheer Glow which do not come with a pump, which is such a nightmare and a money making idea in my opinion. You can buy the pump separately, but when you spend £20+ for a foundation, you expect a pump, well I do. I will just leave you to imagine the mess I have with foundations without a pump..
I am in the shade "100 Ivory" which is the lightest in the full coverage foundation, and sometimes is a bit dark for me, but is perfect for when I fake tan and I can then bronze up my skin some more. However the medium coverage version there is a "light porcelain" shade. Not sure why both versions don't have the same shades, but yano! I would say that is the only down side to the foundation. It could do with some more shades.
I would seriously give this foundation a go though, it's amazing and works perfectly for my skin. It doesn't break me out, and I think I've rambled on enough as to why I love this foundation, haha. I have already got myself a back up of this foundation, I just love it!
