rimmel london wake me up foundation

As always with foundation photos, no powder here and no editing apart from resizing.
There’s a new Rimmel foundation doing the rounds, and as a fan of their Lasting Finish foundation I was looking forward to trying their latest offering. I actually did a bit of filming with Rimmel for their London Fashion Week videos and was given this to try on the day, but I was actually looking to purchase it myself and I believe a few places have this on an introductory offer at the moment if you are interested in trying it.
This foundation is dubbed the “Wake Me Up” foundation. Said to contain “radiance pearls” this aims to illuminate and restore radiance to the face, with peptides and SPF15. I’ve spoken about this a few times before, but I never really go for any of the skincare and sun protection claims of foundations, I always wear SPF under my makeup as sometimes I like a light covering of foundation and obviously just like sunscreen less product applied means you might not completely cover everywhere and will have less protection, just something to note! I’m just going to go off the foundation as I always do, as a purely cosmetic/makeup item. I have been using the shade 200 Soft Beige.
Unlike other radiance enhancing foundations (Revlon Photoready I’m looking at you) this has no shimmer and therefore you won’t be experiencing any Cullen moments when wearing it. This is good news for anyone with larger pores or fine lines as the shimmer can enhance that significantly. This foundation seems to achieve the glowing result via its fresh, dewy finish, although I know the word dewy scares a lot of people. This won’t make you shiny! Although I usually wear a primer, I feel I can forego that step when using this foundation as it fills in my (large) pores, similar to the Collection 2000 concealer everyone loves so much, this is probably due to silicones somewhere in the formula.
I have normal to dry skin, and this foundation didn’t make my skin feel tight or uncomfortable, but if you have any flaking/dry patches of skin, this (like most foundations) will emphasise it. It is pleasant to wear and doesn’t feel heavy, but gives a nice amount of medium/full coverage on imperfections. Without powder it lasted around 6 hours on me (no major problems just a bit shiny on the old nose) and powdered it lasted a full day, over 8 hours no problems.
I’m really impressed with the formula of this, very oily skins might want to go for the Lasting Finish but normal and combination skin should love this, and even on my dry skin I had no problems. At £8.99 this is a great foundation and the pump dispenser makes for hygienic and easy application. I have used the real techniques buffing brush with this but prefer my fingers with this formula. 
My only criticism is regarding the range of shades. I could write a whole separate post on this as it is something I feel very strongly about, and is by no means merely a Rimmel issue, but one the whole of the British High Street needs to fix when it comes to makeup. I understand that makeup is a business and there is no point manufacturing items that won’t sell and will go to waste but we live in a multicultural country with British citizens of every skin tone. To put it shortly, six shades of foundation simply isn’t enough, and I honestly think it’s time a mainstream British company led the way and created face products that all women can wear instead of forcing darker skinned women into shopping at Bobbi Brown or MAC. When I go to London I certainly don’t see only people with the skintone of the six foundation shades, and with London in the company name I’d love to see Rimmel reflect that, they have a great product line and it would be amazing if more people could enjoy it. 
Like I said, this is something the whole of the cosmetics industry disappoints me with, I’ve worked on a few counters and its upsetting and embarrassing to have to tell people you don’t make a product dark (and in some cases light!) enough for them. Sort it out beauty industry! That being said, this is a fabulous foundation well worth the £8.99, especially when I can skip a primer. Have you tried this?

Edit to add: A lot of you are commenting saying yours was very shimmery and in some cases had to be returned! Although mine has a very slight pearly sheen when held up to the light in the bottle, when I pump this on my hand and apply it on my face there is absolutely no shimmer in mine, not even under close inspection in bright light! Wondering if this is a sample issue or if there are inconsistencies?

It’s varies, some people think they’re seeing shimmer when it’s really very subtle, or making they’re looking at the bottle in sunlight.

    Requested just lately to jot down about [url=http://www.vaporultra.com/rss.php?action=popularproducts&type=rss ]Star fire smokeless cigarettes [/url] , I’ve to confess that I’d never ever read of this sort of a detail. Some net investigate later on and i found out that e-cigarettes are quite considerably a swiftly developing issue. A Google look for uncovered you can find no smoke without the need of hearth as virtually six million benefits only for the phrase “electronic cigarette” were being returned.

    What on earth is an electronic cigarette?

    The electric cigarette is in existence for nearly 3 years and is also a clever device aimed at giving smokers with a much healthier option. Evidently also useful in helping to lower and indeed stop cigarette smoking completely.

    Now within a fourth era, e cigarettes have grown to be significantly much more user welcoming than before versions which potentially were being slightly very substantial to inspire a mass current market appeal. The “mini” is the most reasonable e cigarette so far with its length of 100mm currently being the same as a conventional cigarette.

    An ecigarette incorporates a style of tobacco but none of the unsafe substances uncovered in usual cigarettes making it possible for smokers cravings to get glad devoid of inhaling the various harmful poisons. Is it all smoke and mirrors? Or can this merchandise definitely be the saviour it desires to be?

    A battery, an atomiser along with a renewable nicotine chamber makes it possible for the smoker to carry and smoke the ecigarette just as they’d some other cigarette, even developing a “smoke” like vapour and glow in the finish since they attract. The nicotine chamber proves pretty beneficial as cartridges are available in different strengths, permitting the consumer to reduce the amount of nicotine they ingestion right until should they want, can give up totally.

    A nicotine cartridge commonly lasts precisely the same time as fifteen to twenty cigarettes, as a result developing a massive preserving to standard expenses. Standard, medium, low and no nicotine in any way are classified as the many cartridge strengths.

    A more healthy selection entirely it appears, nevertheless the advantages really don’t finish there. Because of the e-cigarette not emitting any risky substances, harmful toxins or serious smoke for instance, they are correctly authorized to smoke in public. In winter season especially, ordinary cigarette smokers need to courageous the freezing chilly as well as the rain only for a fast using tobacco split but this different will permit them to remain within their offices, restaurants and pubs.

    None people who smoke also will benefit, as their anxieties about inactive cigarette smoking are rendered null and void because of the e-cigarette. A way more sociable natural environment then!

    Upon reflection the electric cigarette is a much healthier, cheaper and environmentally friendly different to cigarette smoking and as the consciousness and also the current market grows they have got excellent likely to properly replace the harmful cigarettes we have all arrive to learn and plenty of of us have come to dread and dread.
