Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

Hey everyone!!
It's been a really dark and gray day today. It's raining and cold. But it's a nice change compared to the blistering heat we've been having here in Toronto.
Anyways I decided to put on some foundation today for a change and I took out my Rimmel Lasting Foundation 25 hour in 103 True Ivory. I haven't worn this since May/June because it's been too hot.
So let's get to the review shall we?
Claims: Naturally Flawless & Hydrating & Lightweight. Transfer resistant, skin feels energized and hydrated all day.
Wear: I've been wearing this foundation for about 6 1/2-7 hours now and my skin does not feel tight or dry. It feels soft and hydrated like the claim says. However, I tend to have oily skin sometimes on my nose and right now it's showing. If I rub my finger across my nose I can see the shininess which is a big no no for me and I'm sure for all girls out there! I did apply powder on when I put on the foundation and I haven't reapplied since because I wanted to see how long this would last without powder. So about 6 hours, which is good in my opinion.
Packaging: I LOVE that this is on a tube! It's great for when I fly because it won't leak and the plastic tube won't break. It's also very hygienic and that's something that most of us look for when we buy foundation. There is 30ml of product which is great if you want to bring this as a carry-on.
Application: I just used my fingers to put this on. It doesn't dry too fast so you have time to put it on properly. After I've applied it on I take a damp sponge and just dab my face just so there isn't any excess foundation.
Coverage: If you have good skin but just have the occasional blemish here and there then this is great for you!! It has light-medium coverage but it hides redness really well. It makes your skin nice and even. If you have very bad acne/acne marks then this would not hide it. You would need something with heavier coverage as this wouldn't provide any.
Verdict: In the end I love this foundation. It hasn't faded yet after six hours the only downside is that my oiliness came through but I expected that. No one has perfect skin and I knew I would have to blot. I am going to start wearing this more often now since it feels like fall is already coming.

I hope everyone is enjoying the weather while it lasts.
Take care!

Project 10 Pan: 1 month later.

Hey everyone!
So I have been having a bit of trouble with this project. I haven't bought any makeup all month and I'm really proud of myself for doing this.
I've been using quite a few different products than what's on my list and I've decided to not buy makeup until I use up at least 10 products. It will be all makeup products but it has to be 10.
I find that focusing on just 10 products is too difficult because I've been getting bored with the same looks I've been giving myself.
I will however be repurchasing some things before the project is over, such as my mascara because I only have that one. I have a ton of eyeshadows so I definitely won't be repurchasing any before this is done.
I don't think that I'm cheating, I'm still going to finish 10 products before buying anything new. I don't want to give up on this project especially since I'm going on vacation in November and I want to save my money for the trip.
I will however try to finish up the 10 products I had listed.
Wish me luck!!! :)

Review: Maybelline Baby Lips

Hey everyone!
I've been pretty busy lately and finally I have time to sit down a do a review. As many of you have heard the Maybelline Baby Lips are pretty darn popular. Even with boys surprisingly! I saw one of my male colleagues use it and I was so surprised!
I have 2 of them, cherry me and pink punch. They retail for 3.50$ cdn at Walmart, 4.99$ at well.ca, and 6.50$ at shoppers drug mart. They have SPF 20 which is great when you go out in the sun.
Cherry Me smells exactly like...cherries! It smells so delicious you just want to eat this! The color payoff is also really good. The color is opaque but not too opaque where your lips are crazy red. It has a nice consistency and slides on really nicely.
Pink Punch also smells like fruit punch drinks. I prefer this smell to the cherry only because of preference. The color payoff is nice as well it's more opaque than the cherry me. Its a gorgeous pink that would suit any skin tone.
The packaging is also really adorable. The only thing is that the cover doesn't stay on properly so it can open up in your makeup bag.
This does moisturize very well but I don't think it makes my lips feel like "baby lips". I do have to reapply because I do have dry lips to begin with and I usually just wear these in the plane so it's dryer up there.
I find that my lips do get a tint from these and I like that. The color does rub off when you drink or eat which is normal with most lip products.
In conclusion I love these lip butters. There are quite a few colors, 5 I believe and some of them don't have a color they are just clear. I will repurchase these once I run out. I highly recommend these if you're into nice smelling/cute packaging type of stuff.
Cherry Me is dark red and Pink Punch is bright pink.
