If you are a regular reader of my reviews you will be aware that I wear make up most days and as a rule I do tend to wear the full lot down from foundation to eye make up and blusher etc. I always use a pressed powder over the top of my foundation as I think it helps set it, reduce shine and make it last longer as a rule. Normally I just use the Boots brand 17 pressed powder and have done for many years but when I was in Boots buying various other Rimmel items on a three for the price of two promotion I decided to try their stay matte pressed powder. Many of my make up items are made by Rimmel and I have usually been impressed and so I was happy enough to purchase ...  Read the complete review

Picture the scene, its first thing in the morning you have put on your concealer and have blended in your foundation to within an inch of its Life...you go on with your day and notice in an hour or two your make up has disappeared and you have to re do most of it - meaning you use more product up and have to repurchase a new one sooner! If this is the case you could be in need of the greatest thing since sliced bread...powder! I have tried many different setting powders to try to keep my make up in place. First I tried the MaxFactor range; although I loved the fragrance I found it to be too dark for my skin tone. I quickly realised that the secret to getting ...  Read the complete review

i always opt for rimmel products when Avon lets me down, so when their colourtrend pressed power failed the tests, i went for the more expensive brand of rimmel Im so glad i did. there is no need to put up with rubbish products, i should just buy rimmel all the time! The product comes in a round tub (like a petri dish) with a clear lid so that you are able to see how much you have left, and the colouring I went for the transparent shade, and its suited my skin perfectly! The product claims to keep shine at bay for 5 hours, which it does indeed do, and sometimes more depending on where i am. In a smoky club, skin becomes oily more quickly ...  Read the complete review

On suggesting a product, I requested Rimmel's Stay Matte Foundation and all they have offered me is the pressed powder version, despite my emails to them! Therefore the product does have slightly different packaging to that shown by dooyoo, mine comes in a tube and is in liquid as opposed to powder form. Yet another addition to my ever expanding make-up box. ~ Price ~ Currently £4.49 for a 30ml tube at Boots. ~ Rimmel Matte Foundation ~ Rimmel have a wide variety of foundations available but in the matte finish foundation you have the option of choosing a pressed powder in different shades or the liquid ...  Read the complete review

I sometimes suffer from shiny skin, especially when I've been out partying, so I thought it was about time that I got something that would help get rid of the shinyness! When I went to my local supermarket I found my self looking at the make-up section because I needed some new products, mine were getting a bit old. I came across this pressed powder, I read the back of the packaging which stated that it controls shine for up to five hours. At only £3.70, I thought it would be the perfect way to finally combat my shiny forehead. I put the product into practice, when I was getting ready to go out, I found my self constantly checking the mirror that ...  Read the complete review
