Rimmel London Kate Moss 101 – MAC Snob

As you can see I haven’t just bought these baby’s home, both have lived in my lipstick drawer for quite some time. I rarely wear MAC Snob as it is so cool toned I find it hard to pull off. To be honest, the only reason I bought it was because I was in Harvey Nichols for the first time and it seemed fitting, oh the logic!

The Rimmel lipstick (101) is another cool toned Barbie pink.It doesn’t have the vanilla-y delicious scent of MAC, it’s more fruity, or the satin finish of Snob, it’s a little more matte (I like both.) The fact that it is just those couple of tones warmer and those couple (or ten) pounds cheaper makes the 101 my personal favourite of the two and it makes a regular appearance in my makeup bag which must be the reason it’s collected the most fluff.

More logic right there! I’m full of it tonight 😉

I’m a foundation freak. You may already be aware of this if you have read this blog for any length of time.

When I initially saw this one a while back in Superdrug I wasn’t falling for the claims as I normally would. No. It appeared that I had malfunctioned or something that day! And I didn’t even pick it up! In fact, I had a little chuckle at it rolled my eyes and walked right past.

I wasn’t prepared to be disappointed by another bold claiming high street foundation.

But then I stumbled across a few reviews on it. Then I noticed it appearing in ‘monthly favourite’ videos on You Tube.

Curiosity got the better of me and I was all over it like a tramp on chips, and I’m so pleased I gave in…

Never in my life has a high street foundation excited me as much. There are a couple that have come close (Bourjois healthy mix and healthy mix serum and more recently L’Oreal Lumi Magique) Even then I have always found that one teeny tiny reason not to truly love them. With them being from the high street I didn’t mind. I pretty much made peace with the fact that there would never be the perfect high street foundation for me.

Then Rimmel go and come out with this bad boy!

I am 99% sure that I shall be declaring it holy grail!

Half a pump

(the formula reminds me of a lighter cosistancy MAC studio sculpt)

Coverage: Medium, buildable

Finish: Radiant! Really brightens skin without being overly dewy. Flawless, but definitely doesn’t leave skin looking cakey or too ‘done.’

Staying power: Rimmel claims 10 hours. It’s more like 8.

Shade range: 7 shades- My shade is 200 Soft Beige. I am an NC25/30 in MAC foundations

Price: RRP £8.99 for 30ml. *Amazon have it for £6.00 + free delivery

Packaging: Glass bottle/pump combo.

Suitable for: All skin types. It definitely doesn’t emphasise dry skin or sink into fine lines & pores. Nor is it so light and dewy that it will look greasy and slip on oily skin. The only down side is the shade range.

Random info: It smells amazing, it must be all the vitamins!!

I get the song ‘Don’t wake me up’ stuck in my head for hours every time I get it out of my Make-up bag!

Repurchase? Definitely! This is a product that actually does what it says on the tin.
