Rimmel Clean Finish First Impression

Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation First Impression


When I was in WalMart and saw that not only was this foundation about $4.00, but it also seemed like it would actually match me, I was super excited. I knew there would be a chance it would look bad or it would break me out, but for four bucks, it was worth a shot...














...except for the fact that I can't even wear it on my face. The swatch on the left is after about five minutes of being on my hand and the right swatch was put there right before I took this picture. So as you can see, it oxidizes almost immediately, and it oxidizes badly. I've had foundations that oxidize before, but it's usually only by one shade and it takes a few hours. I don't know if all of the shades do this, but I did look at some reviews on Influenster and many people say they've had the same issue. I was excited to try this foundation and at least give it a fair shot but once it oxidizes it's far too dark for me to wear out of the house, or else I end up looking like an oompa-loompa. I find that it also smells a bit like paint, which kind of turns me off of it. So overall my first impression is that I don't really like this, although maybe I would if it didn't oxidize. Has anybody else tried this? Did you have the same issue?

Lip Balm Review

Keep Calm and Lip Balm Review

In my recent Walmart haul I featured two Rimmel Keep Calm Lip Balms, one in Pink Blush and one is Rose Blush. Here is my honest review. You can get them here for $2.50 USD.

Here they are in the tubes. Honestly, I'm not at all impressed with these. Sure, they leave a nice tint, but they don't seem to moisturize my lips at all, which they claim to do. I tried applying them at least half a dozen times each and they did nothing for me other than leave a bit of color. I'll probably sanitize them and hand them to a friend. Are they worth the money? Only if you're just looking for a lip balm with a tint. Not if you want one to moisturize and hydrate your lips. This was sad for me because I usually love Rimmel products.
