Choosing the colour we preferred online, is a tricky thing to do at the best of times. I did think straight away the colour of foundation and concealer was a bit too bronze/orange like for my initial liking.
Set gave me the opportunity to appreciate how they complement eachother.
Packaging is orange themed. This range looked like it belonged together.
Primer $16.99 for 30ml in a tube: Texture is smooth with a light golden tinge. Great to apply and smooth out, leaves my skin with a flexible and non-tightening clear layer, doesn’t inhibit application of foundation. Has SPF25 built in. Fragrance is refreshing & subtle, very pleasant.
Foundation $25.00 for 30ml glass with push down dispenser: When applying, after smoothing and settling in, the colour actually gives a sun kissed glow without looking like more than just a BB cream has been applied. Gives a much smoother cover than just BB cream. The cover is even and easily applied. Perfect match with Primer, I was left just that little more radiant when using primer first vs. not. Time is on your side with this one, it didn’t dry too quickly which meant it was easy to keep blending. Using a second layer did give a more full look, one layer didn’t look like I was just starting off, I could easily pop a little powder on and go. For me this is a versatile product.
Concealer $18.99 7ml mascara like dispenser: Liquid concealers are my preference, Ivory 010 matched perfect with the Foundation in 100 Ivory. Used around my eyes, was so easy to apply with a concealer brush. Dispenser made it easy to do touch-ups, even after applying mascara (a risky move for me to do). Not too complicated, just a great wearing product, not settling too much in my eye lines. Long wearing and easy to take with me while out and about.
The prices of each are great value for money (IMO that’s for the result I got). Not recommended for use if you are wanting that long wearing full on look say for a wedding, but for every day, these products are good value, honest and reliable. Lasting about 4 hours in general before a bit of a spruce up is needed, this is ok with me, would do that anyway.
Strangely enough the radiance claim is the perfect word to describe, I am not as sun-kissed at the moment and of course using bronzers are a bit full one for winter, this one however leaves a smooth, radiant, healthy and hydrated look (and feel).
For $16.99, $25.00 & $18.99 = $60.98 for the set. Thank you Rimmel for great price points (there are often 3 for 2 deals so that makes the price it even more magic).
Ideal for those with teenagers or for teenagers themselves. I thank goodness that I had teenage sons, no need for makeup.
I am embarrassed to say I overlooked the Rimmel brand, just based on price and packaging I felt it was aimed more towards younger skin.
Rimmel, these 3 are a great hit! Best value & convenient buying.
Thanks you so much Beauty review ive throughly enjoyed this review and for someone that had never tried Rimmel im definately converted. Each product works well together and looks nice and summery with the same packaging colours so in my opinion they've done that right. It smells fresh and clean and goes well on my skin. It lasts so as far as im concerned the name is correct! The primer is just delicious even on its own it gives your skin a shimmer and helps the foundation last just that bit longer and gives you a nice smooth base to work with. The concealer is perfect to touch up those bits that need a little more coverage and then the foundation gives just the right amount of coverage without feeling like you've painted your whole face.
To me its a winning combination. Hope its a great price :)
