Rimmel Cool Matte 16Hr Mousse

~*~ RIMMEL - Cool Matte 16hr Mousse Foundation ~*~ Price: £5.99 at Sainsburys for 0.60 fl oz / 18 ml e Colour: 303 true nude Why buy? The foundation that I have recently been using was on it's last legs and about to run dry any day. I nipped to Sainsburys and looked along their range of foundations which all seemed to be a little on the pink side. Favouring a darker shade, I opted for this mousse. It was an impulse purchase as I have never used a mousse foundation before. I have always seen them as little value for money as there does not seem to be much foundation in the container.

Rimmel mousse Always being a bit of a sucker for trying out new make ups, I bought this recently because I am going through a bit of a preference for mousse type foundations. ~~Promises, promises…~~ As with most beauty products, this makes certain promises, and obviously has some secret or revolutionary formula. For this make up, it's a revolutionary aquacool formula which promises to keep skin matte for up to 16 hours. Apparently, this make up with the airlight mousse texture will blend easily and feel comfortable for the whole day. No mean feat because it's supposed to be non transferable ... more

Recently I've been getting more interested in make up. Before I discovered this product I was using cheap regular foundation mousses from Pharmacies and just your natural face powder to kind of set the foundation. I prefer mousses because I've found that my skin is too dry to use liquid or powder foundation, and I find that it's easier to apply. Also, mousses tend to give off a nice natural matte finish and I'd sooner not look like one of those Orange streaky faced cosmetic disasters from school. So anyway using those basics was okay, it got me from A to B every morning at least and I wasnt ... more

I saw this mousse foundation advertised on television and was captured by the 16 hour claim of staying put on your face so I thought I would give it a test and so get some. What is it? Rimmel have created a new foundation that is of a mousse texture. The idea is not exactly a new one though. Maybelline has its Dream Matte Mousse Foundation which has been about for some time now and Avon has its own too. This foundation is aimed at people who want a matte appearance and to help them create a shine free look all day. It is probably not a good product for people who have dry skin because with its ... more

In my opinion, this stuff is horrible! I've tried many foundations in the hope of finding a fantastic one, and sadly, this wasn't it. I bought this foundation after seeing it advertise a lot and thought… "why not?". It claims to stay on your skin for 16 hours and to give you a flawless, natural look. Did it? Definitely not! Okay…so it does what it claims and stays on your skin for the 16 hours but it really doesn't look great! The most important thing a girl wants when wearing a foundation… is that it looks natural and is flawless. After putting this on, I noticed I had "grey" like streaks at ... more
