My first makeup review yay :)
First of all, I always wear face makeup on my face (haha does that make sense?). I put on foundation where I need it, concealer where I need it, and then powder all over. My skin is very oily :( so I really need a good foundation. I heard about Rimmel London's Stay Matte foundation, and I thought that I could maybe try it. Then I saw it in Glamour magazine in a story/article/whatever about foundations. So I thought, well then it must be good, I trust Glamour. So I went to Walmart and bought it for around 6 dollars. And now I've been using it for over a month. So here is what I think of it.
Pros: It's light and thin. Also, it's very liquidy. I hate really thick foundations, so I was happy this one is liquidy.
Cons: It doesn't blend well. Since I don't put foundation all over my face, it's important for my foundations to blend into my skin, and to blend with my powder. This foundation doesn't do that. And it does not keep my face matte. Not at all. Also, the coverage isn't good. It doesn't cover up any of my blemishes. It has salicylic acid to help clear up skin, but I don't know if it does or doesn't because I started using new face products so that's been clearing up my skin slowly. I can't tell if this foundation helps or not. Also, I bought the lightest shade, and it's too dark for my face :(.
So overall, I don't like this foundation :( I was really dissapointed. But it might work for you, if your skin is not as oily as mine and darker than mine. But you'll have to find that out on your own. Since it's only 6 dollars, you can try it if you want. But if you ask me, I say buy something else with those 6 dollars.
The back says:

Sorry about the pictures. It wouldn't let me upload the ones I cropped. :( That's my wonderful window in the background. Nice blinds, don't you think? :P

I have come to the conclusion that Rimmel sucks...a lot. That makes me sad, because I have been wanting to try some of their products. =(
I hate this foundation didn't work for you. Especially after the good reviews you had heard about it. False advertising.
Now that I think of it....I've only liked one product I've had from Rimmel.... :(
Me too!! I thought it would be really good, but it was really sucky. Those reviews convinced me it was good. I was majorly dissapointed.
I think I spelled that wrong...disappointed. That looks correct....
I was majorly disappointed.
sorry
