Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation 30ml

So today's post on Instagram was my fave drugstore product for me that had to be Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation 30ml


I first heard of this foundation on a YouTube video by Tanya Burr, where I think Tanya compared it to Nars Sheer Glow, or mentioned it as an Anti Fatigue foundation.  I was looking on the market for a new foundation and this sounded an interesting one to try. I picked mine up from Boots which RRP £8.99 which isn't to badly priced and they normally runs offers i.e 3 for 2.

My first impression of this foundation was that it was quite thick. For most girlies they won't think this but I'm used to very light foundations, where as this is medium coverage.
As it says on the bottle it is 'Anti Fatigue' and it has a constancy of a slight shimmer, this gives the skin a healthy dewy look! I have normal skin type, but I do think that if you suffer from oily skin you may need to set your T-Zone with a pressed powder. I do have quite a few blemishes on my skin and although the coverage is ok, I always use concealer and this finishes off a flawless look.

So overall I think this is a reasonably priced foundation and one I will defiantly be repurchasing!

Thank you for reading :-)

Superdrugs Own Brand Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser

Superdrugs Own Brand Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser

I recently posted on my Instagram account @@lipsticksoflove that my 'something everyone should try' should be Superdrugs own brand Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser. I have fallen in love with this cleanser, literally I haven't touched any of my other makeup removing products since I started using it three weeks ago! It claims it has Kiwi fruit extract, Mullberry Fruit extract both which are supposed to help brighten the skin. Cocca butter which of cause is a skin softener.


I used to sit there taking my eye makeup off, then foundation etc. Now I go to bathroom, run the hot tap, splash my face, rub in a small amount of product, ALL over my face and eyes, leave on for one minute. Now for the best bit, run the hot cloth Muslin cloth under the hot tap and put over the face.......bliss!!! Then I gently rub the cloth over my face removing my make up. It is so refreshing and my skin feels so clean afterwards. Then to finish I then splash my face with cold water to close my pours.
I then on a cotton pad smooth some toner over my face, followed by 'Simple'' spotless skin moisturiser.

Then that is me done, all ready to get some very much needed beauty sleep :-)

Take Care
