Rimmel Wake Me Up Line Swatches

You probably don't know this, but I'm a huge fan of Zoe aka Zoella on her blog and youtube. So the other day I was watching one of her videos where she was raving about the Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation. I looked it up and found out that it is currently only sold in the UK, which was very disappointing. Just as I gave up hope of trying the product anytime soon, I came across some Wake Me Up products in Kmart! I was really surprised because I've never heard anything about these products before. I picked a few up and decided to share them with you!

There was no real display of these products and let me just say that there's never really any order in the beauty department of my Kmart, but I still managed to spot these suckers on a random shelf. They had out the Wake Me Up Concealer and the Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch highlighters. I picked up one of the concealers, which didn't have a color name, and two of the highlighters.

The Wake Me Up Concealer looks pretty straight forward. The packaging looks like general concealer packaging and does have a doe foot applicator. The packaging states that it will work towards "Anti-fatigue effects"so it sounds like there may be some sort of caffeine effect in this. We'll see! 

As you can see, this product comes with a doe foot applicator and is quite thick at first glance. I will be experimenting with this concealer more and I'll let you know weather I'm a fan or not.

Next is the Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch highlighters. I got two in the shades 001 Flush of Peal and 003 Peach Glow. Interestingly enough, these two shades are not shown on the Rimmel website, but the two that I decided against (a pink one and a shimmering sands one) are. They both have a creamy consistency and can be built up to have a more effective color. I think these will be great as highlighters during the summer, especially the peach one.

Here are some failure swatches. I wanted to show you that they are light and can be builded up to get a better color. The top one is Flush of Pearl and it's almost translucent shimmer. The bottom one, Peach Glow, is a very beautiful coraly-peach color which is also quite build-able.  

Hope this was in some way entertaining or helpful to you! Good luck on your search if you are interested in these products. Let me know if you spot the Wake Me Up Foundation in the US cause I really want to give it a try! :)

If you ever have a request for a post or want me to hunt down a product, just let me know!
