Rimmel Stay Matte
Long Lasting Pressed Powder in 'Warm Beige' (or 'Classic Beige')
I have been using Essence's All About Matt! to powder my face and I finished it recently. I didn't really enjoy it, so I decided I should try something else once it ran out.
I've heard people rave about Rimmel's Stay Matte pressed powder for a long time but I never bought it because it was always a bit too expensive for me. I know, I know... Around 10€ isn't expensive, but being that I already had a powder at home that cost me half the price, I kept saying to myself "I'll try it out once I finish the one I have.", so when the Essence one was nothing but a few quinoa sized white chunks in the pan, I decided I'd buy this one next.
Fortunately, a store that opened near me had all Rimmel items on sale, including the powder I'm reviewing, so I bought mine there. They only had one shade available, 006 Classic Beige, but I thought it was a nice match for me, so I got it.
You get 14g of product in it and it should not expire for at least 30 months.
I can't really swatch it for you guys or anything, but I must say that the color match for me is nice. When I removed the product from the packaging, I found out that this shade is actually called Warm Beige, not Classic Beige, although the latter is the one printed on the sticker on the back of the packaging.
It applied very effortlessly on the skin and lasted for many hours. I liked that the pan isn't all dusty after going in with my powder brush because I hated that about the Essence All About Matt! powder, it just crumbled and crumbled and made a mess and even when I hit pan it didn't last longer because the product left just completely crumbled and broke into chunks.
Final thoughts:
★★★★☆
I can't really say much about the Stay Matte Pressed Powder but so far, this one seems great. It re-applies perfectly and lasts long, makes my skin look nice and keeps everything in place. I recommend it, especially because it's affordable to many pockets and you can get it on sale every once in a while. I need to use it longer to really notice if it makes any difference from other powders I've had.
I don't have the receipt of how much the powder cost me but if I'm not mistaken, it cost around 10€ originally and was on sale for around 5,50€ or 5,60€.
Until next time!
