Rimmel London US Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation Review.

Ok, y'all! I got my #StayMatte voxbox from Influenster Tuesday. Sorry I'm just getting around to doing the review in my blog, but I've been crazy busy, so here goes.

I wanna start off by thanking Influenster and Rimmel London US for sending me this great product. I feel very lucky and privileged to try this stuff out. :)

The VoxBox had just the foundation in it, and the Influenster card. I heard that some other people got a bonus gift of mascara. Would've been nice to get that too, but it's no biggie. The foundation container was a tube, not a bottle (which is what I'm used to seeing).  The shade I got was #103 true ivory. The description on the tube says it's a feather-light, liquid mousse that blends flawlessly for natural-looking, all day shine control. It's silky smooth formula leaves a perfectly matte, baby-soft finish. It's lightweight texture won't feel heavy or greasy.

I'm not used to this type of foundation so I didn't really know what to expect. I used my fingertips to apply it, and didn't need to use a lot to get full coverage, which is good because I don't use a lot anyway. It blends well, and luckily matched my skin tone. It feels light on my face, but I wouldn't say that it's light-feeling coming out of the tube. It looks quite thick, so a little goes a long way. It does have a smooth, soft, matte finish. It didn't feel cake-ish at all. I actually made a two-part youtube video, and there's a huge difference in the before and after shots. It made my skin look really flawless, even though I had some blemishes on my face.

My only real issue with the foundation is that after a couple hours, there really wasn't much shine control. My skin did look a bit oily/shiny, so I had to apply a little powder. Don't apply more of the foundation because you will get a cakey look.

I'm not sure how it would look if I had applied it with sponges or a foundation brush, but I think it looked fine just by using my fingers.

Here's my video review. My face looks AMAZING after I applied the foundation compared to how it looked in the beginning of the video.



Anyway, despite the shinyness, I still really love the product, and not just because it's free. It's because it makes my skin look amazing. So thanks again for my VoxBox!
