My first review:

This is my first ever review, I've decided to review both foundations that i am currently using. For work and non important days i use Rimmel London wake me up, and for days i'm going out i use M.A.C mineralize foundation.

Rimmel's wake me up foundation is one in a million. I use the colour ivory (100). This is a perfect match for my skin tone as i am very fair. I have a dry to normal skin type and this foundation works amazing with it. It also has SPF 15 in which is great although my face would probably be better with a higher SPF. The name says it all, it gives you a beautiful glow to your face on a morning although it can be slightly shinny. I use my real techniques stippling brush to blend this foundation in which i think works really well. It blends amazing into your skin and just gives you such a glow. Although i do use a primer with this foundation as when i'm a bit hot at work it tends to stay on better (I work in a busy cafe). I'd say it gives a light/medium coverage although if you use more foundation it would probably give you more coverage but for work i tend to stick to a light coverage. I only use one big pump a day which i think is really good and it will last me for months! I think its a brilliant high street foundation and i would definitely purchase this again. I think this was about £6.99 when i got this but i think there was an offer on.

 This is my going out foundation so i wear it most days. I think it is a really good foundation for my skin type because the mix does have moisturizer in it. I do really enjoy wearing this foundation just on its own. I find with a primer it slides of my face as the day goes on and i tend to have none left in the afternoon. This also has SPF 15 in it which is great. This foundation also gives a light to medium coverage but it can be topped up to a better coverage but i find that makes you look shinny. I would recommend this to anyone who has a fair skin colour and is looking for a more natural look. I also apply this with my real techniques stippling brush and i do use a bit more than one pump. In this i am NC 15 which is one colour down to what i would
normally be with mac products. I do like this foundation but i would be happy to look for another foundation after this bottle is finished. This was £24.00 when i bought it which is a bit pricey to other mac foundations but its definitely worth a go.  

With these to foundations i do use a powder over the top, with the rimmel wake me up i use rimmel stay matte which is a lovely powder and that's in 001 transparent and with the mac mineralize i use mac mineralize skin finish. These two products work amazing together and i have that in light plus. 

Thank you for reading feel free to give me any feedback i would love it!
