Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse 16 Hr Foundation

Rimmel mousse Always being a bit of a sucker for trying out new make ups, I bought this recently because I am going through a bit of a preference for mousse type foundations. ~~Promises, promises...~~ As with most beauty products, this makes certain promises, and obviously has some secret or revolutionary formula. For this make up, it's a revolutionary aquacool formula which promises to keep skin matte for up to 16 hours. Apparently, this make up with the airlight mousse texture will blend easily and feel comfortable for the whole day. No mean feat because it's supposed to be non transferable for 16 hours. ~~Product and ...  Read the complete review

I'm afraid it is time for a moan. I do like to give an honest fair opinion of products, and I will happily list the good and the bad. This product was - can I say rubbish?! - I'd better not. It was not very good. I really like Rimmel as a brand - great for everyday wear make up and it doesn't break the bank. So I bought this in a 3 for 2 offer and like a fool without trying it I bought two pots of foundation... retailing at around £6 a pot I can honestly say what a waste of money. I have tried it three times and the pots still sit in my make up box! I know I should throw them away but I just don't yet have the heart to! It comes in a ...  Read the complete review

I bought this as I did not have enough money for my usual foundation and I needed it that day and it was £5.86 from boots. After previously using different mousse foundations I thought this would be a good foundation but how wrong was I. I had a job interview that afternoon so therefore really needed it I went to the toilets to put it on. I was in a hurry and the lighting was not good so I put it on and then had to rush to the interview. The makeup felt very sticky as I was putting it on and then my face felt sticky after putting it on. When I got to the interview I was waiting in the waiting room and when I glanced towards a mirror I realised it was all ...  Read the complete review

I bought this at the weekend but have only just around to trying it out today. I was tempted by the fact that this is a mousse foundation as I often have problems blending liquid foundation, and have never really got to grips with mineral foundations yet. ***Application*** The mousse was easy to apply and I could blend it easily using my fingers so I didn't bother using anything else. It did seem to dry quite quickly after being applied so you can't spend too long on the blending. As soon as I opened the pot, I could smell the foundation. This was not an unpleasant smell though. ***Coverage and Finish*** The finish was good, but I was ...  Read the complete review

As you may or may not have seen from my review of the Rimmel 'hide the blemish' concealer, i am a big fan of Rimmel products for doing your 'face base' of your make up. Whilst the other products are reasonable, i really like the combination of this foundation with the hide the blemish, and this is for why... The packaging ~~~~~~~~~~~ The pot is nice and looks much more expensive than it is. With a clear, solid glass curved base and a thick black plastic lid. The lid has the standard Rimmel logo in blue with 'cool matte' and 'mousse foundation' across the front. The pot size is 0.60 fl oz, or 18 ml. Bit of a pain though if your ...  Read the complete review
