• First Impressions/Get Ready With Me (Drugstore) •
Hey, guys, I thought I would do a slightly different post to what I normally do, instead of doing your average haul showing you what I got, I thought it would be fun to do a First Impression/ Get Ready With Me. All these products were bought either in Boots or Superdrug so all affordable!
Prepare some funny photos of me trying to do my make-up lol ;)
Hello, Fresh faced Emma!
I am gonna start with the Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation, I always stick to the same foundation but I thought I would branch out and buy myself something new!
Now I have pale skin so I normally go for Ivory, and it's normally fine, however, this Ivory is a tad dark. It is wearable and I can get away with it, however, I just to blend like hell and hope for the best.
It is very full coverage so I only needed one layer which is a complete bonus!! I used my Real Technique sponge to apply, it blended well, although it did make it heavy. It is one of those foundations that you can feel on your face! :(
Other than that, it sat nicely on my face, and gave a dewy finish, which I love!
Can we talk about how funny I look in these pics, like Cheers up Ems! haha
Next up is Bourjois Radiance Reveal Concealer, now my holy grail for a long time has been Collection 2000 concealer but I find it has been oxidizing lately. Maybe it is the weather and my skin but when I seen so many people rave about the Bourjois concealer I thought I would give it ago!
It is £4 dearer, which isn't a lot but I use concealer quite a lot so it seems like a big jump!
It is a lot thinner consistency which I found made it very easy to blend but also stay in place. With it being thinner, it makes it feel so much lighter under the eyes!
It is definitely a better shade for my skin and gives my eyes a brighter/ healthier look! I found it gave the best highlight and just worked perfectly!! Completely worth the money!
I did use my Collection Concealer on my spots and blemishes as it is a lot thicker to cover them up! I then use my Rimmel Clear Complexion powder to set my face! Not too much as a wanted a dewy finish!
Eyebrow time, I really enjoy doing my brows so I was really excited to use this Maybelline Brow Satin Pencil, I hadn't heard that much about it, one side is a very fine pencil and the other is a sponge so I thought it would be interesting!
As you can see I have fair hair so finding something the right shade is quite hard, I think the colour is perfect for me. I got it in the shade Dark Blonde!
I was pretty disappointed with this, the pencil was so thin that it snapped so many times and I actually have none of the pencil left! When I was trying to fill my eyebrows in, I found it quite hard to blend and get the right shape and don't get me started on the sponge! As you can see from the picture below I was confused as to what it actually did to my eyebrows, it is so strange!
It was good for a base to outline my brows, but it was so light that I actually had to use my Naked Basic 2 palette to fill them in and make them look nice! :(
Last product was Rimmel's Sculpting Palette by Kate, in the shade #1. I have actually had this for a while but I thought I would give you my thoughts!
The bronzer is just a pretty shade, it has a little shimmer through it but it still is great for contour! It blends easily and gave a gorgeous finish to my face! It will be a go to bronzer in Spring for sure!!
The highlight is probably my fav, it is a gorgeous golden shimmer and perfect to make the cheek bones stand out! It applies easily, and sits nicely! It has been my go to highlight for a while! It is such a great price as well!
I don't tend to wear blush that much, however, this was quite a natural blush, like the other in the set it blended well and gave a little colour back to my cheeks!
The whole set is perfect to take on my travels with me as it is all in one, they are pretty colours and I have been completly in love with it!
Lol at my contour face ;)
I then used my Naked Basic 2 palette for my eyeshadow, Maybelline The Falsies for my mascara!
I lined my lips with Koko K and applied Sleek's Birthday suit on top and then the look was complete!
I then tried to take some serious photos but it never happened so queue some weird selfies lol
To sum it all up, the Bourjois Concealer is a must have and I will have to repurchase this again for sure.
The Rimmel Sculpting Palette is also a must with the three pretty shades!
The Rimmel Foundation will be worn on days I feel a little more daring and have more time but I will use it.
However, the Maybelline Brow Satin was a complete fail, I would recommend spending a bit more money for something better, a thicker pencil maybe??
I hope you enjoyed this post, I hope to more First Impressions and GRWM in the future!

You look great, good you like the palette I want to try it as been using the Sleek face form one but this one looks great. Shame about the brow pencil though, but at least you will use 3 out of 4 of them although I know what you mean about the feeling of the foundation xxxxxx

ReplyDeleteThat foundation is such amazing coverage! I keep picking the Kate Moss contour palette up, would you recommend? x
ReplyDeleteI love your makeup! Looks gorgeous xxxx
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I was really intrigued to hear your thoughts on the foundation as I've heard such good things about it - its a shame it sat so heavy! x
ReplyDeleteWell despite everything you still look beautiful! I recently bought the Bourjois concealer for a first impressions so I'm glad you like it! And I've used that rimmel foundation in the past when I was going through an awful time with my skin and wanted something high coverage, agree it does feel a little heavy after a few hours though!

The foundation sounds nice! I tried the blue version (don't remember the name of it ^^) but was disappointed as my face didn't agree with it at all! Giving me spots and everything :( so a little worried to try this one, but as everyone seems to like it I wan't to try it lol x

That lipstick looks gorgeous on you! And I love this post, I always love reading/watching peoples first impressions on makeup products. I really want to try that foundation, and the concealer as I've heard so many great reviews on it!

I used to always use this foundation! Not 100% sure why I stopped using it though!
ReplyDeleteThe concealer is one of my faves.. I like to use it with my Collection Lasting Perfection or the UD naked skin concealer as I think it really helps brighten the under eye area up!
Great post, thanks for sharing!
