Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Hello! If you read my blog regularly then you will know that I have a very oily nose and the rest of my skin is normal. I only use face powder on my t zone and I like it to control the oil as much as possible so I don't have to reapply powder very much throughout the day.

When I first heard about the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder, it sounded perfect and I kept reading really good reviews on it! I decided to get the Transparent colour which took me a little while to find as they seemed to be sold out a lot, so when I finally found it I was happy!

I have tried a lot of different powders, high end and low end to try and control my oily nose and this one is easily the best! The packaging isn't amazing at all. It feels quite cheap and the lid isn't secure so I wouldn't want to travel with this, however the powder itself is incredible so I don't really mind about the packaging!

Usually when I powder my t zone, my nose will still get oily throughout the day and I will have to reapply powder a couple of times. My makeup always comes off my nose as well because it gets so oily!

When I use this powder though, my nose stays pretty much matte all day and does not look at all oily which is amazing! Also, because my nose stays matte, my foundation stays put all day and doesn't slide off! I am so impressed with this powder and the fact that it keeps my very oily nose, pretty much completely matte. My makeup looks the same at the end of the day as it did at the beginning.

I use my Bobbi Brown Powder Brush to apply this which is my new favourite brush! It is the softest brush I have ever used and applies powder amazingly well. Sometimes when I buff powder onto my skin, my concealer and foundation moves or comes off, however this brush is so soft, it doesn't move any makeup underneath which is great!

Overall, I would highly recommend this powder! It is the best powder I have ever used to control my oil and set my makeup. The best part is, it only costs £3.99 here. Amazing!

October Favourites

Hello! November seems to have come around so quickly! It doesn't feel that long ago since I posted my September Favourites!

My first favourite is the Tigi S Factor Smoothing Shampoo and Conditioner. I have written about this in my Hair and Clothing Haul which should be one of the next posts up. My hair is fairly thick and almost frizzy sometimes and using these really help smooth it down and make it very soft and manageable. 

Next is my Kerastase Elixir Ultimate hair oil (review here) and this is honestly my favourite hair oil! It leaves my hair so shiny and just very very soft. 

Lastly for hair is my Denman hair brush! If you have seen my London Haul then you will have read that I purchased a second hairbrush from Denman because I love this one so much! It does feel as though it just smooths over the top layer so I would recommend having another hair brush for properly brushing through any tangles in your hair. I love using this as the last step of my haircare routine as it just smooths over my hair and leaves it looking smooth and somehow more shiny!

Onto makeup, my next favourite is the YSL Touche Eclat Foundation (review here). This feels very lightweight on the skin and I love the dewy, radiant finish this gives.

Next is my Rimmel Stay Matte powder! I always need to powder my skin and I have tried more expensive powders but I find this one does the job really well.

I used to wear eye liner everyday but then I stopped using it altogether! It's only recently that I've started wearing it more and I love the L'Oreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss. I really disliked this when I first bought it and put it to the back of my drawer. I have rediscovered it recently though and it's great! I can apply it in one or two sweeps across my top lash line and it is very black and lasts all day!

My last favourite is actually a person! I have seen other bloggers include people in their favourites so hopefully it's not weird. Haha! My favourite is Georgina from Live Laugh Lipstick and she is honestly one of the loveliest girls I have ever met. I love her blog and find all of her posts amazing so I would definitely recommend checking her blog out!

That is all my favourites throughout October!
