Wednesday Beauty Buys

Match Perfection Concealer by Rimmel

This was not the product I had intended to review this week, but I am so pleased with it I have decided to give my opinion on it asap!



I had been looking for a concealer for my seemingly ever increasing black bags under my eyes , mainly caused by lack of sleep from being up night after night with poorly children . This year has been a constant stream of  coughs, colds, pneumonia, chicken pox, chest infections, asthma, sickness bugs - I could go on! I am sure a bout of lovely hot sunshine would kill all these germs off.....
 Anyway , on a whim I picked up a tube of Rimmels Match Perfection 2 in 1 skin tone adapting concealer and highlighter from Boots. It promises to banish signs of fatigue and illuminate the eye area. Yes! It contains an oxygen complex and allows skin to breathe. It almost sounds too good to be true, but as I was feeling in the need for something different I got a tube of it and have tried it for a couple of weeks now. I am still using my Mac long wear foundation and use this around the eye area and any other areas that I feel need a little extra touch! I really do feel that this does what it says - it melts into my skin colour and gently conceals uneven skin tone without dulling it down. I know it works as it is getting carried around in my handbag with me!


I was so impressed I have decided to try their Match Perfection Fix and Perfect Primer also which is on offer at the moment at £4.99 and has some great reviews. I haven't always been a big fan of Rimmels products - I find they can be a little hit and miss, but if I find a good one it usually is very good value and worth stocking up on.





A few days into using this my hairdresser said to me my skin was glowing and if she didn't know any better she would have said I was pregnant as I had that look to my skin! ( You know that "I'm glowing" stage, not the "I'm exhausted" stage!) I like compliments like that as it doesn't happen too often anymore.


My verdict on both these products would be that they are great value for money and do the job as well as any of their more expensive equivalents. They have become part of my daily routine. Well done Rimmel this time!

Definitely a winner for me!
