Review::Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25Hour Foundation

Hiya everyone!!

In this blog post, i will be reviewing the rimmel london lasting finish 25hour foundation :)

First i want to talk a bit about the packaging of this product. the bottle itself is glass with a plastic lid. I am fine with having this foundation stored in a glass bottle but i know sometimes tis can be a pain for people.
As you can see, the bottle seems rather plain but on the lid, there is slight detail.

I know this doesnt really make much difference to the purchase, if you like the foundation then you are obviously going to buy it. But i just thought it was nice detailing on their part.

Anyways.....
This foundation has got a pump
I really liked this becasue its always a pain when you have to pour it out onto something. it makes a mess and lots of product is waisted!!
....................................................................................
The actual foundation itself is pretty good. it has a medium/thick consistancy that is easily blendable.
(the product on my hand)
i find this foundation to me medium/full coverage and i like this in a foundation myself.

Product info
as you can see in this photo, you get 1fluid ounce of product in the bottle. this may not sound like that much but i have had this for around 4 months, i use it everyday and i still have some left!!
Now, this cost £5.99 from boots but the RRP is £7.99
 (i got it on special offer WOOHOO)
On the back of the bottle is says.............
'sweat, heat, humidity and transfer proof for up to 25 hours. enriched with a revitalizing mineral complex and moisturizing aqua primer. skin feels energized and hydrated all day'

MY THOUGHTS
Hmmm, its sad to say but to me, what it says about the product. not true!! for me anyway :(
when i put the product on, it look great for the first hour or so, and then it started to come off, but in patches!!
i have to say, even though it is a medium/thick concistancy, it does feel light on the skin. now having said this, i then tried the product with a primer
 (a rimmel london product aswell)
it didnt help it to last any longer but it stoped the product melting off in patches.
i do not recomend this product if you have oily skin, as i have dry skin and it came off on me, i think it would just come off within a matter of hours :(
i have to say, when the bottle runs out i will not be repurchasing this sadley as i do enjoy rimmel products.
ALTHOUGH.... I would recomend this to you if you are planning to stay still all day, then im sure it will last a whole 25 hours!!

even though it says 25 hours, we all know that it will never last that long but i would have expected it to last a whole lot longer then what it did.

thankyou for reading :)
if you have anything that you would like me to review then please leave a comment and i will try to do a review on it.
HUGS AND KISSES.....JESSICA XX
