RIMMEL WAKE ME UP foundation // review

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but have been so lazy on the blogging front so I'm sorry! I'll try my hardest to be better..
So here it is, my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation review.

There is one major downfall to this product for me... the colour range: my sample was in 200 soft beige, which (as you can see from the photo's) makes me look... muddy. BUT apart from that it's actually a really nice drugstore foundation.

It claims to 'visibly reawaken' and 'illuminate' the skin... well, illuminate - yes I think it definitely does, the coverage is sheer to medium and it does have a lovely dewy glow to it. But 'visibly reawaken'?! Hmm not sure that's not just all talk. It also has a lovely fresh fruity smell to it (which may put off some people who are funny about putting perfumed products onto their skin) but I really like it!

For £8.99(ish) a bottle, if you can find your colour match then this foundation is really lovely... don't be put off by the overly shimmery look it has to it in the bottle, as I found that it blends out into nothing- so I'd definitely recommend as a foundation for the summer.

PS. I am wearing YSL touche eclat to add to the luminosity of this product xx

    Hi Chloe! I've seem reviews about this all over the place. I've tried it out on my hands every time I walk through boots, it covers over all my pores and I can't even see the shimmer that appears in the bottle. I really want to try this but I have so many half full foundations haha, thanks for posting this. AS IF I needed any more pushing towards this product! xxxxx

      Hey babe, yes if you can find your colour I'd definitely say it was worth a buy! No one can reeeally have too many foundations (that's what I keep telling myself anyway eeek!) Thanks for reading doll xxxx

    Oh my goodness, your skin looks incredible! I totally need to get some of this...even if I don't really need any more foundation right now... I also still need to get some touche eclat too but I'm being a big cheapy right now! Xo Lori
