Rimmel Fix and Perfect face primer

Picture
I was kind of skeptical when i saw the color of this primer - it is a orangey pink color, like a dark salmon color.  But - the color blends right in.  This primer was great for oil control and my skin was a lot less oily at the end of the day (only my nose was kind of shiny, but oil blotting papers take care of that).  It did not break me out, and it was a great primer for its price.  This sells for around 6$ and it works wonderfully.  It does minimize the look of pores, not much but a little.  The thing I liked the best was the oil control, because that is a big issue for me.  It did help my makeup go on smoother, which was a definite plus.  I will definitely be buying this product again. and i hope that you will try it.  There arent many drugstore primers here in Hawaii, but this one was a good choice.  hmm what else.. oo! the scent is kind of light but a bit perfumey; however, it isnt a problem.  This primer worked almost as well as the Benefit PoreFessional primer - which i LOVE. (see review).  I think this primer can be used as an alternative to department store primers, since primers can be very pricey.  Honestly, I feel that no primer is going to get rid of ALL the oil on your face and they will only IMPROVE the way your makeup stays on and keep your skin less oily.  So, I would say that if you are short on $$ go for this primer.

so yeah.. you can kind of see that this color makes the primer look almost like a foundation. Not to worry though, it goes on pretty much clear.

SORRY my lighting is horrible. But you can see that this color would be a problem if it did not blend..

BUT it blends right in! (;
 

Rimmel StayMatte foundation

Picture
  This foundation had a ton of good reviews so i thought to myself.. I HAVE to try this.  as for the results, i wasnt too excited with the product.  It did stay matte, as promised, but the coverage was very uneven and it didnt have very good coverage in general.  I have to say that it would probably work well with a good concealer, so i don't discourage people from trying this out.  As for asian skin tones, this foundation has a pinkish undertone and not a yellow one, which comes out looking fake and weird on my skin, since i have yellow undertones
price wise, this product wasnt so bad (the price of it), but i dont think i'd buy it again/
Container (tube) - the product tends to be very drippy and comes out of the tube quickly, so be careful not to spill out a bunch of product when you open this up (if you do decide to get this foundation - it is good for skin with pink undertones and skin and may not need much coverage.)
this product broke me out and my face and skin was so bad after using this - i needed like a week of recovery time, since i broke out so badly..

tube easily leaks out product without much effort...
