I am a HUGE Rimmel fan. It is my go to makeup brand I have pretty much loved everything I have tried but not this. I tried so hard to like it but I just couldn't.
First of all the lightest colour is to orange for my skin tone so it looks like it has oxidised on my skin. They have quite a limited colour range. If I'm really desperate I can make it work if I have the time to blend it in really well and slowly build up the coverage. I'm not one to just throw out a product I do try to make it work. I do like the finish though, it makes me look nice and dewy.
It also doesn't really have the lasting power on my skin and can really only be worn out to run errands because it just turns my face into an oil slick and rubs off even if I haven't touched my face. Even my family have commented on this which makes me feel even less enthused to wear it if other people can noticeably see my make up is coming off and looks orange!
I wish I could use this product as Rimmel is such a great brand and definitely one of my faves but this product just did not work for me at all so would not buy again.
As my title states I have really mixed emotions on this product, I do really enjoy it but then I also found it doesn't do exactly what it says either.
Packaging is great, normal simple rimmel product packaging and I am a big fan as I know what I am paying for is the product not packaging, great easy to handle tube, I am able to take the lid off and apply product straight onto my brush with no mess and no worries about the bottle or tube or anything being in my way.
I love that this is a BB Cream but still actually has really good coverage, so the days that I know I still need to wear makeup but want a lighter coverage, I grab this every time, I kind of halve my weeks with foundation and BB Cream so this is perfect, and over summer it was basically all I wore, I did find the product a tiny bit runny but just using less sorted that issue. It did last all day unless doing really physical work and of course comes off during that. I did not find that it reduced my pores, maybe that's just my pores though but that is really my only downfall of this product that I can think of, I still wore a SPF during summer under this product so I was extra protected since this actually has a SPF in it as well which is great for those hot days.
Overall I love this product, I will use it again and for the price I think everyone should try it, there are always going to be dislikes about products so for me the pores is not enough to put me off.
Tips: I still used a powder over top to set this product when I had long days.
