Rimmel Lasting Finish Minerals Loose Powder Foundation

Is it just me or are Mineral Foundations taking over the make-up universe? It used to be we'd go out and buy a tinted moisturizer, liquid foundation, and loose or pressed powder to put on our faces before we go out to face the world. Those three items seem to have disappeared from existance and been replaced with what looks like just...powder. Now, when I first tried mineral foundation I was a complete skeptic. First off it cost me far more than a liquid foundation did ,(It was Bare Minerals). Secondly, the small jar only seemed to last a little less than a few weeks. This isn't to say I didn't like the stuff. It ...  Read the complete review

After deciding I wanted to try out a Mineral foundation and finding the first one I tried to be too drying although it had great coverage, my already dry skin just suffered from the talc it contained, I was still on the hunt for a more suitable mineral foundation. This Rimmel one costs around £7 full price, but I found it on the market for £2.99 so snapped it up and couldn't wait to try it out. There are five shades available, and it comes in a loose powder form in a jar container with a sifter that you tip upside down and tap before unscrewing the lid to, to get some of the powder out. You then take the brush it's supplied with and swirl it into the ...  Read the complete review

I was recently sent a free full sized sample of this new Rimmel powder foundation as part of the company's promotional campaign to endorse the product. It's actual retail price is around £7 to £8 and it is available at all major chemist chains like Boots and Superdrug as well as supermarket chains selling the Rimmel brand. The product comes packaged in a neat little box which holds the plastic case of the powder and a mini application brush. Information about the powder and it's benefits are listed on the outer packaging. The powder boasts a lot of 'free' claims: it is oil, preservative, talc and fragrance free! The brand promise this powder will provide up ...  Read the complete review

Rimmel Lasting Finish Minerals Loose Powder Foundation : the latest cosmetic company to jump on the minerals bandwagon. Until this last year or so, mineral make-up was only available online or at very expensive cosmetic company counters. It is supposed to be the make-up that nourishes your skin, and fans even say that sleeping in it doesn't do your skin any harm. Wow! What a claim that is. I was thinking of buying some of this to try, as Rimmel are offering mineral make-up on a lower budget, for those of us who are not supermodels. The average retail price is around £7.99 ish. However, luckily it cost me nothing, as I entered the ...  Read the complete review

I really like the idea of mineral makeup in principal. Lightweight, oil, talc, fragrance and preservative free etc. I had a look over the various different shades and products available and decided on trying the Rimmel Lasting Finish Mineral Powder Foundation (try saying that after a few shandys!) because it was the closest shade to my skin and it was a reasonable price. The makeup comes in a nice neat silver box with black and pink text and includes the pot of mineral makeup and a small application brush with a stubby silver handle. It cost £7.82 for 6.5g The so called Kabuki brush (which it isn't) is too coarse for my liking. I would ...  Read the complete review
