Rimmel wake me up foundation, worth the hype?

Don't know if you can see but the bottle does have little specs of shimmer in

At the moment, I'm having a bit of a foundation break down. I just can't seem to find one that is right for me any more. Normally I wear Mac studio fix fluid, but recently I've gone off it as it's starting to cling to dry patches and fade quite quickly. So I thought I'd give Rimmels wake me up a try after all the blog hype and the fact that it's much cheaper!

When I bought it the first thing I noticed was the shimmer in the bottle and this did put me off a little, but I bought it anyway. In some lights the shimmer does show up, but this is very rare and doesn't put me off the foundation nor make me look like Edward Cullen! I like the coverage and would say it's medium to high and leaves a lovely glowy, dewy look to the skin. Which is great as this is what it claims to do. This foundation doesn't cling to any dry patches or fade in certain areas and does last a full day! However, I've found that by the end of the day, even when using powder that this foundation does make my nose and forehead super shiny, which really puts me off the foundation a little. This might just be due to my skin though as it's a little on the oily side.

I'd say this is worth the hype. It provides good coverage, adds a lovely dewy look to the skin, doesn't cling to dry patches, is affordable and quite long lasting!

Revlon lip butters, worth the hype?

Peach parfait

Sweet tart

Strawberry shortcake

After seeing the Revlon lip butters pop up absolutely everywhere, I knew I wanted them, but my student loan was a long way a way, so I had to wait quite a while before I could get my paws on them. When I finally had money I picked up three shades, peach parfait, sweet tart and strawberry shortcake, but that was after much debate if these were even worth the 'hype' and if I was willing to pay £7.99 each. In the end I did, and it's safe to say that these are definitely worth the hype!

I just love the quilted packaging and the formula of the lip butters is really creamy and moisturising and guides onto the lips really easily. At first I was a little worried that the pigmentation and colour wouldn't be that great onto the lips, but as you can see they all show up really well with just one coat. Peach parfait is the lightest shade I purchased and is such a great everyday colour, which isn't too sheer or too full. However, it does contain shimmer so this might not be perfect for everyone, but I don't mind. The colour lasts on the lips for a good few hours, before a top up is needed. I've found that out of all of them that strawberry shortcake clings to some dry patches on my lips more than the others, no idea why. Not read this anywhere else, so don't worry I still recommend this shade, I just need to scrub and condition my lips before application. 

I'm tempted to buy more, what's your thoughts on these?
