It's peach tint that dissipates quickly to a powder finish leaving a smooth and matte surface, which makes foundation application easier.


HOW: Use this product after moisturizer. Sqeeze a small amount of primer and dot it all over the face:forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, then blend with fingers or cosmetic sponge. Now, you can apply your favorite foundation on top.


Fix and Perfect Foundation Primer on my face. It slightly evens out my skin tone.


I've been using this primer for a long time and it has made a difference with my makeup. The texture is not  slippery as most foundation primers (silicone based) I've tried, yet it leaves my face a silky and smooth surface,making foundation application easier. It really does make my foundation (liquid, cream or powder) last longer and keeps excess oil on check. This primer saves my face from looking oily, so I will never skip it.


Have you tried it before?

Spotlight Beige is my new fav nude....Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick

Can a girl ever have enough nude lipsticks? I don't think so lol. I just love a good nude lipstick that looks natural. My new Rimmel London Moisture Renew lipstick in Spotlight Beige is my current favorite nude lipstick. It's creamy, moisturizing and it gives the most beautiful and natural shade on my lips.


WHAT: The website  says "Ultimate Colour Indulgence with SPF 15 Protection: Now infuse lips with perfectly luscious, luminous and richer colour: a wide and fine selection of perfectly blended, sumptuous shades. Caring color complex of vitamin A, C, E and anti-oxidants and SPF15 protects lips from everyday damage". (source: http://www.rimmellondon.com/)

WHERE: You can easily get this at your local drugstores.

PRICE: $7 or less.

SCENT: To me, it has a weird smell to it. It smells like like an old lipstick  O_o. But honestly, it doesn't really bother me. I just won't smell it.

FINISH: It has a creamy satin finish which gives a  nice shine and glossy finish on your lips. No need for lip gloss.

COVERAGE: sheer to medium but buildable.

TEXTURE: creamy and moisturizing

The website says it has spf 15 but the packaging says spf 18. Not that it matters but I just noticed it lol











PROS:
-Very affordable
-It suits many skin tones especially medium skin tones.
-It looks very natural on me so its great for everyday use.
- The coverage can be from sheer to medium.
-Non-drying and very moisturizing
-Applies very smooth and creamy. It's really nice.
-It has spf 18 to protect your lips.

CONS:
-The scent may be bothersome.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I really love this lipstick/shade. It looks really nice and natural which makes it very wearable and awesome for everyday use. Also, it never dries my lips which is amazing! I recommend it to all skin tones especially with medium skin tones like me ^_^.

Everyday Makeup blog verdict: This product is a YAY!
