Holy Grail - Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer

In part two of my 'I Bought Drugstore Makeup On A Time Crunch", I present to you Rimmel London Wake Me Up Concealer.

There isn't much to say. I am obsessed. I have had people comment on the fact that I don't look exhausted. And that is more than enough for me! It does an amazing job covering the black holes that currently live under my eyes. And it wears well. It has a wand and blends out perfectly.You can build it up, but you don't really need to. And it doesn't crease. After the first time I used it, I was in love. You need this in your life! Unless you are on of those weirdos who doesn't have dark circles. 

First Off - Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation

A while back, I was waiting for a friend and I was running out of time to do my makeup. So I ran into the drugstore and picked up some essentials so I could do my makeup in the car while I waited. I made my choices based on what was cheapest. And, for the most part, it worked out.

For foundation, I picked out Rimmel London Stay Matte Foundation. It's a liquid mousse foundation that blends out easily and has very good coverage. I just blended it out with my fingers, but a Beauty Blender works well too, if you aren't doing your makeup in the car. It lasts all day. I normally set it with a powder.

I've been using it on a regular basis and I'm loving it. I think I would buy this again.

First Off - NYX Invincible Fullest Coverage Foundation

I set out to London Drugs with the plan of finding and purchasing the liquid eyeliner of my sister's I had fallen in love with that morning. Alas, they were sold out and I was left staring at the NYX display. 

The only other NYX product I've used is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencil in Milk. Which I liked. But this was the only store around that sold NYX products, and I had already made the trip out there so I might as well pick something out. 

I hummed and hawed for a while but finally made some decisions. One of them being this foundation. Fullest coverage? We will see about that.

I'm not a huge fan of the packaging. It seemed to just pour out without abandon. Which could mean a lot of wasted product. The product itself, I like so far. It blended easily and  doesn't feel heavy on my face. And it is full coverage too. 

Verdict: I like the product. I'm going to keep using it just to test it out a little more. But I really like it.
