Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation Review

Hey guys sorry its been a while, unfortunately we will no longer be following a schedule,  we do promise to keep updating regularly but our blog and youtube was feeling more of a chore in our already busy lives and we weren't experiencing the fun and enjoyment from it that we intended. But let's move onto what you really want to see which is the review. 
The Rimmel wake me up foundation is very popular amongst the beauty community receiving great praise from youtubers such as Tanya Burr and Zoella. Sadly I was disappointed.

The Positives 
The packaging is great its a glass bottle with a pump (what more could you ask for?)

The fantastic shade range ( for pale girls like me you won't struggle to find a shade I assure you)

The price ( it currently retails for £8.99 on the boots website which Is very reasonable for a foundation)

The Negatives 
It broke me out like a bitch! ( pardon my language but my face turned into spot city after wearing this for only two days and with an important event only days away I'm not one bit happy. I've had similarly problems with rimmel foundations in the past so ill stay clear from them in the future)

It's cakes! (I have dry skin and I most definitely do not need a foundation highlighting this to the rest of the world this clings to your dry patches like noting ordinary)

The coverage is not as good as I would like. ( I'd say it has a light to medium coverage I personally prefer a medium buildable foundation)

Lasting power is average not great not terrible. I'm still at school that means I have my makeup on from 7 in the morning to 5 in the evening yes I know that's a tall order put this foundation seemed to disappear from my chin and nose before midday and yet in other places it was fine. Weird!

Other points to note 
This foundation contains glitter for some it has no visible effect and for others it's like your face is a glitter ball I personally had no problems yes there was glitter but it wasnt noticeable, so remember to consider this.

So there you have my very honest review of the wake me up foundation I may give it another chance in the future if my skin becomes less sensitive to break outs as I hate wasting product but sadly I don't think it's for me. -Geraldine
