REVIEW: Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

This is an awesome foundation! Goes on really lightweight and has pretty good light to medium coverage. It also gives the complexion a dewy glow which I absolutely adore. Rimmel is now a little difficult to find in Singapore, unfortunately, but if you can get your hands on this product, definitely go for it! This is better than Nars Sheer Glow, I feel.

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Powder


This face powder smells SO GOOD but I do not know if it really boosts my mood though. The powder goes on too shimmery in my opinion and does cause the face to come across as a glitter ball. However, it does help set concealer or foundation in place. I would not re-purchase but it is not an awful product.

Elf Gotta Glow Highlighter


I have heard some people label this a dupe of Nars' Albatross highlighter. Though I have never tried Albatross so I cannot qualify any comparison claims, this Elf version did not blow my away at all. I think I personally prefer my highlighters to have a stark white or pink undertone as opposed to a gold one. The texture is also a tad chalky.

Benefit Stay Don't Stray


Best eye primer that I have tried so far! This even beats Urban Decay's in my opinion. The product goes on real smooth on the eyelids and is super easy to blend.

/UPDATE: Have realised that this unfortunately still does not really entirely eliminate smudging.

Eylure Brow Control and Shape Gel


This is a really good eyebrow gel. Aside from holding my unruly brows in place well, it does not cause the hairs to harden like other brands, such as Anastasia, may. The only downside is that I seem to only be able to purchase this online as it is not readily available in Singapore. If you are interested, I got mine from ASOS.

Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleansing Towelettes


This has got to be one of the best make-up wipes that I have used ever. The texture of the wipes is super smooth, hence it is not as harsh on my skin as other brands such as Simple. The wipes also take off all non-waterproof make-up really well. I would certainly re-purchase.
