Even though I am a sucker for BB creams, I do love to buy new foundations every now and again, even though it is a challenge to find one which I truly like.
When I was on holiday in the UK I bought the new foundation from Rimmel [launched in September], the Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation, from Boots, along with a cream blusher ... but more on that in a later post.
The shade I chose is #100 'Ivory' [I believe that there are 6 shades in all]
First of all let me start by saying that I have been using this foundation on a daily basis, ever since I got this [about 3+ weeks or so now].
The first time I swatched this I was completely amazed because this feels just like mousse, but out of a tube. Therefore, it feels ultra velvety on the skin, and it blends really easily - especially with your fingers.
It gives a soft, matte [kind of powdery] finish with medium coverage. So if you're lucky enough to not have oily skin, you can actually go without setting this with powder.Since its consistency is quite thick, you only need to dab small amounts to cover your whole face.
This lasts the better part of a day on me, but since the weather here is so hot and humid [it's still around 30 degrees celcius] I do sometimes pair this with primer.
I would definitely re-purchase this.

Thank you for the review & swatch. I'm excited to try this product as I can't believe how pale the ivory is! Usually Rimmels lightest shades in their foundation are too dark for me, but this one may work. Thanks for the recommendation. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome April, I'm glad you found it useful :) Yes, the shades are pretty light so you should be ok xx
DeleteLooks like you have a really good match looking at your swatch x

At first I was worried that it would be too light cause I'm still quite tanned, but it turned out ok! xx
DeleteThis product sounds great and blends in really nicely!

OMG I need this in my life. I have super-oily skin and nothing manages to keep me matte or last the whole day. It won't break you out, will it? And could you tell me if it has parabens? I've tried to read the ingredients label in your picture and couldn't find parabens #gigbloggers #giglove
