Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte Powder Review and Photos

Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte Powder

Last year Rimmel released the popular Insta Skin Tint which was the first in their new line suitably named Insta. This year the brand has taken the #Insta family to a whole new level with the launch of their Insa Fix & Go Setting Spray, Four Colour Correcting Palettes, Three Contour Sticks and a Setting Powder.

Now I'm already a big fan of the setting spray as it's a great multitasker for Summer, but I have to say the new Insta Fix & Matte Face Powder looked like my kind of product considering the Stay Matte and Match Perfection Loose Powder are already staples in my makeup bag. So here are my thoughts...

Price
The Insta Fix & Go Powder retails for £4.99 for 8g of product whereas the Stay Matte Powder retails for £3.99 for 14g of product.

Packaging 
Now although you get more for your money with the original stay matte, the Insta powder definitely has nicer sturdier packaging.

Application
This translucent powder is finely milled and smooth to the touch, it's also slightly scented too. I've been using this with a small fluffy brush after foundation and concealer to mattify my nose, chin and eye area and this really does work wonders at reducing any shine and not looking cakey! You also don't get the dreaded white cast in flash photos either.

Longevity
This did help my make-up stay matte for a good 5 hours, however, if you're out and about I would recommend popping this in your bag for on the go touch-ups as per the packaging.

Overall Thoughts
I've really become rather fond of this translucent powder lately as it's compact, mattifying, non-cakey and it's just so easy and a pleasure to use. Yes, it isn't as great value for money compared to the stay matte powder, but it's still affordable and it works just as well if you're after a more universal setting powder that's travel-friendly too.

I award the Rimmel Insta Fix and Matte Powder a 4.7 out of 5

Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour

The Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lipsticks are the newest launch to hit the shelves here in the UK. With an impressive 15 shades these certainly are a stand out collection, so here are my thoughts...

Price
These retail for £5.99 each for 5.5ml of product. The collection is available from Superdrug, Boots, Feel Unique and Ulta in the US.

Here are the 15 shades that make up the Stay Matte Liquid Lipstick Collection,
Latte to Go - NUDE
Be My Baby - NUDE
Moca - NUDE
Coral Sass - CORAL
Pink Blink - NUDE PINK
Pink Bliss - PINK
Blush - PINK
Rose & Shine - PINK/RED
Heartbeat - PINK
Fire Starter - RED
Plum This Show - DEEP RED
Midnight - DEEP RED
Blue Iris - BLUE
Shadow - GREY
Pitch Black - BLACK

Packaging
The packaging is compact and the perfect size to pop in your bag when you're on the go and I also love the fact that you can see the colours clearly through the tube. Inside you'll find a lovely long and thin doe foot applicator.

Application
These have a lovely lightweight, mousse-like texture which is very similar to the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquids. I tested out 8 shades and found them to be incredibly rich and pigmented. The only one I thought needed a deeper lip liner underneath was Latte To Go as this is an extremely pale nude.

Longevity
I have to say I was very impressed with how long these did last as they do claim to last up to 12 hours. However, while they are very long-wearing I wouldn't say they last a good 12 hours... I found them to fade down towards the late afternoon, which is when re-application would be needed, but overall they were pretty good going!

The other thing worth noting is because these are matte, they are a little drying too, but I think this comes with the matte lip territory.
One tip I would give you is, when you go to take these off, it would be wise to use a micellar water or something oil based as once these are on, they are on!

Overall Thoughts
Overall the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipsticks are not only a great price point but they are one of the best matte liquid lipstick formulas to be released within the drugstore over the past year.

Admittedly these are a little drying, but weighing up the fact that they are super pigmented, vibrant, easy to apply and super long-wearing makes them a true winner in my eyes. Which is your favourite shade from the collection?

I award the Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Lipsticks a 4.8 out of 5

The All Beauty March Favourites

March Beauty Favourites 

I feel like I haven't done a monthly round up in ages, so it's about time I shared with you some of my all beauty favourites from March, which coincidentally seem all very colour co-ordinated!

Soap & Glory Heel Genius 
Now that we are getting into open toed weather, I feel like it's time to start preparing the feet for all those pretty sandals I've seen just lately. The Heel Genius has been a saviour at making my feet feel wonderfully soft, refreshed and ready for their 2017 debut...

Soap & Glory Hand Maid 
I've nearly used up the last of my Bath & Body Works Stash of Anti Bacs (Sob!), however I've found a lovely replacement from Soap & Glory in the form of the Hand Maid. This gorgeous smelling anti-bac smells just like the Righteous Butter, plus it's a decent size too. I like to keep this one on my vanity to use before I apply my make-up each morning.

Clinque Beyond Perfection Foundation + Concealer
Gosh I love this foundation! I picked this up last year on my our way to Mexico as I had heard such good things about it. Usually I'm really not a fan of matte foundations (with the exception of the L'Oreal Infalliable Total Cover) as I tend to prefer more of a dewy finish these days. However there is just something about this foundation that gives you the most beautiful coverage, without feeling or looking dry and I just can't help but gravitate towards this every time.

MAC Angel Lipstick
MAC Angel is actually one of the first MAC lipsticks I ever bought, it's also a lipstick I go back to time and time again. This pinky nude, frost never fails to brighten up a look for me, I even wore this on my Wedding Day too.

Rimmel #Insta Fix & Go
I actually did a first impression on this recently and I've been in love with it ever since. I adore not only the smell of this, but the fact that it's a 2 in 1 Primer and Setting Spray. It's also a great affordable alternative to some of the high end version out there too.
