First Impressions | Sample Rimmel BB Cream Matte


I'm getting bit of a Sample collection so I thought it high time I actually start using them! So I'm going to do a little series of first impressions. 


I got my little sample in my Company magazine last month.



Information 

Brand | Rimmel London
Product | BB Cream Matte 9-in-1
Shade | Light
Price | £6.99
Will I Purchase | No


First off its very thick and creamy and glides on really nicely. It gives good coverage but the colour on me is a bit more orangey than I'm used to. The downside to this product is that it only comes in 2 shades light and medium.

It claims that it is a 9-in-1 product:
 1| Minimises the appearance of pores
 2| Evens skin tone
 3| Mattifies
 4| Controls shine all day
 5| Smoothes
 6| Soothes
 7| Conceals dark circles
 8| Helps prevent blemishes
 9| Gives all day coverage 

For me this only does about 2 of these things. It does minimise the appearance of my pores and has concealed my dark circles a little bit. My skin tone looks a little bit better. I can't say whether it helps to prevent blemishes or soothes. It doesn't mattify my skin at all or controls shine. Because of the lack of mattifing the coverage doesn't last all day.

In this picture it does look really nice and matte. I have some left in the sample sachet so I'll continue to give it ago and see how I get on.

Have you ever used this BB cream before? 
What are your opinions on it?
I'd love to know!

Have a great day!

Package From Korea #2 | Tony Moly

Hi Guy's!

I'm so excited, finally both my packages from Korea arrived!
Isn't it so much more exciting getting things in the post!?
A few weeks ago I order 2 Tony Moly products from ebay.


Eggpore Blackhead Out Oil Gel 30ml - £5.19
&
Appletox Smooth Massage Peeling Cream 80ml - £5.33


The Eggpore Mask came in a little plastic package with all the ingredients and directions on it, in both Korean and English.

~Effective pore purifying product that clears out blackheads and impurities with egg & camellia ingredient~



Directions| Apply an appropriate amount onto areas with blackheads and gently massage for 3-5 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm water - This clear oil turns white because it combines with the sebum while massaging.

Features| Contains egg elements and magic capsules which remove dead skin and sebum. The oil gel purifies whitehead, blackhead, excessive sebum and dirt in pores.
Pore trouble care solutions help to purify the skin, manages dead skin cells, provides nutrition and protects skin from further damage. Improves various troubles and makes skin look bright and clean.
Camellia Flower Extract soothes skin with no irritation and purifies dirt deep inside pores with light-weight jelly-like feeling.


I love the packaging its so cute! The top is a screw off lid and inside is a plastic cover with a tab to pull off and reveal the gel beneath.


The gel is clear with tiny micro-beads mixed in


Its smells really lovely and fresh - kind of citrusy



The Appletox Mask didn't come in any other packaging


But directions for use were listed with the product on the ebay shop

Directions| After cleansing, dry the skin and Apply generously to dry areas all over the face, avoiding eye and mouth area. Gently massage for 1~2min and leave for 30sec. Gently rub your face in a circular motion and wash off in tepid water.

Features| Green apple extract Minerals(Mg, Fe), Vit(A, E, B1, B6, C) maintain skin's natural firmness and brightness. Highly effective on exfoliate.
AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) AHA accelerates skin's natural exfoliate process.
Acid loosens the bind between skin and dead cells, soothing the outer skin maintain fresh and silky.


The top screws off and underneath is another plastic cap with 'Tony Moly' insignia on it.


Underneath is just a simple white cream - smell amazing!



As I smoothed this on to the back of my hand I could feel little beads forming.

I am so excited to try out both these products! :)

As an added bonus in with my packages I received some Samples!

Lioele| Multi Seaweed Gel
Lioele| Triple the soloution BB Cream
Skin Food| Platinum Grape Cell Essential BB Cream SPF 45 PA+++
