Before i get into the whole review thing, i just want to say i am on holiday right now in Portugal and this week i am doing a sailing course so there will not be as many posts this week only! After this week i will return to normal posts!
Ok so ,As you may (or may not) have noticed i have reviewed another concealer quite recently (collection lasting perfection concealer), but i have also been testing this Rimmel Hide the blemish Concealer.
This concealer is priced at £4.49 from Boots, the cheapest you can get it is £1.99!
This concealer is very creamy, and when i say creamy believe me it is creamy!
I tested this under my eyes and i did not feel like it set properly. Even after a couple of hours it still did not feel completely dry! It creased under my eyes as well (this was without primer for a fair test), which is not a very good look
Also it did wear throughout the day so it not full day coverage, i would recommend reapplying this at least 2 times a day.
It applies like a lipstick, which means you have to build the coverage up quite alot.
Overall this is an 'ok' concealer, i personally would not recommend this!
Forever searching for more food, more clothes, more books and more laughter!

Liz Earle Sheer Tint
Today i am going to review the Liz Earle sheer tinted moisturiser!
In the summer or whenever its hot i feel like foundation is way too heavy for my skin and i want something lighter. So i opt for a tinted moisturiser with a fair amount of coverage, some lucky ladies don't have to wear anything because they have perfect skin, where as i have small spots here and there.
I have found this tinted moisturiser to be very good on my skin, it doesn't make me feel to oily as it dries and sinks in very easily! It has not caused any breakouts and really given me the summer glow which we all want (with a bit of bronzer).
Also i wanted some sun protection as well, this has SPF15 as do most, but depending how hot it is i will either reapply this or regular sunscreen.
The packaging feels expensive, as it is in one of those 40ml bottles which makes you use a minuscule amount, which is good as a little goes a long way!
The only real let down is the price- £21, if you live in England some sun is an occasion to be remembered as it doesn't stay for long. If you only use this in the summer, like myself you will really need to only buy this once a year, but if you wear this as your 'base' all year round it would be alot of money.
So i am going to give this 4* out of 5, as the let down is the price!

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation!
I have to say before i bought this, i had heard so much about it. "Its fabulous, makes you look amazing etc". So i went into Superdrug the other day on the hunt for a new foundation, when i remembered the Wake Me Up foundation. Don't get me wrong i love Rimmel, it is one of my favourite Make Up brands, however i was very disapointed with their 25 hour foundation as i found it had an orangy base. I mean no one wants to look like a tangerine?! So i was a bit hesitant to pay £8.99 for their Wake Me Up but i am very glad i did!
It makes you look dewy, but not oily, as i do have oily skin and didn't want a foundation that would make it worse but it didn't. If you are extremely worried about this put a bit of powder on your oily bits. It has a slight shimmer which looks amazing in sunlight as it literally makes you glow. Finally, It has great coverage, i would say it has a medium coverage. So it doesn't give you complete full coverage but nothing a good concealer can't fix. If you want to get that shimmery glow but lighter coverage i reccomend pairing it with a moisturiser, which also looks lovely.
So overall i have to say this foundation is perfect for summer!
