Review of Rimmel concealers and Maybelline the Falsies


Hello everyone, i’m back again, but this time with some reviews. Since I have no life at the moment and am extremely bored, I thought that I would update you all with some of my favorite products. I’m going to start the way that I start my makeup: with concealers. Shocker I don’t actually wear foundation because it makes the skin on my face feel like it’s suffocating. Yes, my pores can feel panic. I’ll admit that I have a tiny (massive) obsession with Youtube. I’m going to warn you all now that if you have seen Tanya Burr’s youtube videos, some of these products will seem familiar to you.
I’m going to start with Rimmel. I freaking love my Match perfection concealer. While Rimmel is available here in the states, it is a pain in my butt to track it down. I have literally been to Duane Reade’s and Targets all over Manhattan and can’t ever seem to find the wake me up concealer or foundation (Ugh! get it together, Duane Reade). Since trying to find anything Wake Me up is like trying to find money on the street, I had to make due with the match perfection concealer( my color is 430 medium).  Now that may sound bad, but I actually love it. In fact, I love it so much that I went out and bought a second one because I was halfway through my first. It is a great concealer and blends perfectly with my skin. It covers everything that I need to cover beautifully, and what makes it even better is that it’s cheap.  The brush you apply it with is also really soft. It feels like feathers, but sturdier. I don’t remember how much it cost, but it was definitely a few dollars under a 10.  I insist that you all run out and buy it now. I don’t think that you’ll regret it. My only complaint is that it has a matte finish, which for most of the year is fine. However now that it is winter, my skin has dried out (the horror), so I find myself reaching for my, wait for it, Rimmel wake me up concealer (also in the color 430 medium)!!
I managed to find that bad boy in the Wegman’s in Ithaca. I love this concealer. I love this concealer so much, that I went out to 5 stores in an attempt to find the foundation. I couldn’t find it :(. I have left Ithaca and have no back ups of this miracle concealer, so i’m using it sparingly. Can someone please point me to a store that sells it?
Alright, back on track. This concealer is amazing! It claims to give a radiant glow effect and it does. That’s not a joke, and that’s not an exaggeration. When I wear this my skin looks healthy and other people can notice that my skin is glowing. In fact, my nine year old niece noticed and told me in amazement that my skin “was like glowing,” and yes, she did mean that as a compliment, and not in a Twilight vampire kind of way. I don’t know what else to tell you guys. Go and buy it, it’s the best thing that has ever been on my face, and so many people have great things to say about it because it truly is incredible. If you’re having trouble believing that the product is as good as I say it is, then go listen to all of the beauty gurus on youtube that rave about it. I don’t mind.
My final review for this blog post is the Maybelline the falsies mascara. I will admit that I went out and bought this after hearing great reviews about it from Tanya Burr. This mascara isn’t that expensive, and I definitely love it. The packaging is nice (I like purple), the wand is bendy, which I think is a lot of fun (is that immature?), and the mascara is fantastic. My eyelashes are absolute crap. They’re not long, they’re not thick and there’s not a lot of them. When I wear this mascara, which is everyday, my eyelashes are the exact opposite. The mascara gives incredible length and volume. I now know why they’re called the falsies, and it’s because when you wear this your eyelashes look so good, that they look like false ones. Except not really, it more looks like you’re one of those girls that have been blessed with naturally perfect eyelashes. Considering that this mascara costs about 8 or 9 dollars, I highly recommend that you go out and try it for yourself. Unfortunately I ran out of it and have to go buy new one when I actually get money. Until then my lashes will continue to look like poo. And that concludes this really long blog post.
Here’s a picture of all the products, just in case you were dying to see them:
Yes, the match perfection is well loved.

Thank you for reading this to the end and I hope that you find some of these reviews helpful.

Bye everyone!
