You guys know I love the Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lipcolours.
I love them so much that when I got this awesome Rimmel PR package which included 14 new shades of these bad boys, I got super excited. And then I realized that they were actually the brand’s new Stay Satin formula.
The Rimmel London Stay Satin Liquid Lip Colours are new for fall (find them in drugstores starting this month) and include 14 shades inspired by the ’80s. This collection is billed to deliver high-intensity colour, a bold satin finish, and long-lasting and comfortable eight-hour wear. All that in one stroke.
Okay, so you may be wondering, what exactly is a satin finish and how does it differ from matte. Well, satin falls right smack dab in the middle of a gloss and a matte. It’s not really shiny, but it’s not a true matte either. Instead you’re left with a slight sheen in texture.
Rimmel as amazing and sent me all the shades and just by looking at each colour, I couldn’t wait to dive in and play. As mentioned, the colours are inspired by the ’80s, but don’t worry, there’s lots of wearable ones in here too (Atomic, Obsession, For Sure, and Glam Rock is super ’80s). Also, the names in this collection are like, totally rad, and you’ll be pulling them out just to say you’re wearing “Take a Chill Pill”.
The colour is applied via the same doe foot application that the Stay Matte formula comes in (actually it looks to be the same packaging as well). Upon swatching these, the claims do ring true, bold colour is applied in just one swipe, which is amazing, especially on the darker colours. You guys know me and know I love the nudes, so I’ve been gravitating towards the lighter shades in the collection, but all of them are just so stunning and bold in real life. As for how they look, they aren’t as matte as the Stay Matte formula, but honestly, I don’t see that big of a difference between the two. I do want to note that I did find these to be a bit sticky on the inner lip area, but it’s not the most uncomfortable wear.
All in all, I highly recommend these, both for wearability (they do last a long time) and colour range. I love that Rimmel includes a full rainbow of colours, that I’m sure you’ll be hard pressed to find just one you like. These retail for C$8.99 each, so at that price I totally like, recommend picking up a few of these super rad shades.
Will you be trying out the Rimmel London Stay Satin collection?

I’m really not that picky when it comes to blushes.
Sure, they come in all sorts of formulas and textures, but honestly, as long as they do the work, I’m happy. I have a number of luxury brand blushes, but I find that drugstore does the trick just as well.
Recently I was sent four new blushes from Rimmel London, which officially launched October 1. The Maxi Blush is a lightweight powder that gives cheeks colour and a healthy-looking glow. Available in four shades, these blushes are a great value since they deliver major colour and are rather large in size (nine grams of product).
Although there are only four shades, they colours they chose really suit a variety of skin tones. Sweet Cheeks is a matte peach/nude colour; Third Base is a shimmery pink, similar to NARS Orgasm; Wild Card is a pinky-red; and Rendez-Vous is a deep fuchsia. Since I’m rather lighter in skin colour, I naturally gravitate towards Sweet Cheeks and Third Base, however the other two are workable as well as long as I tone them down a bit with some foundation after I apply them.
I actually really like these blushes, and although there isn’t a large shade range in here, I truly think you can find a shade that will suit your skin tone. I love the formula since they blend out easily and don’t look too patchy once applied, I also find that the colour stays on throughout the day nicely as well. These retail for C$9.99 at drugstores, which is a total steal for the quality and size of the blushes. I’m sure the brand will be coming out with more colours in the future as well.
Also new for fall is their Magnif’eyes Crimson Edition eyeshadow palette. I’ve tried a number of their palettes in the past and have always been impressed with the shade selection and pigmentation of the shadows. This palette also launches this month (along with some new lippes as well… but I’m saving that for another post).
The Crimson edition palette contains 12 shadows in both shimmer and matte shades. The shade selection in here leans more towards reds, pinks, and browns, making it super fall appropriate. Rimmel says that the shadows are rich, intense, and offer long-lasting colour which is crease proof and smear proof.
I played around with this palette last Saturday and liked how it performed. I do wish there were more lighter colours in here, as there is only really one or two. I think the palette is really pretty to look at but then once you start playing around with it, you’re only really stuck with creating smokier, darker looks. I also found that the shadow pigmentation was just okay. I’ve used creamier shades before in drugstore palettes and was a little disappointed with the formulation with these. It is possible to get pigmented colour but I found I had to really go in with my brush to get the colour on (not so much with the darker shades, but more-so with the lighter ones).
If you love wearing berry-toned shadows, then I would look at picking this palette up. Rimmel has a number of other eyeshadow palettes in the Magnifi’eyes line that i think are more versatile, but if you’re looking for a new palette for all your fall looks, then I would give this one a try. At C$11.99 you really can’t beat that price for 12 shadows.

Okay, so I know I just chatted about skincare last week on here, showcasing my love for Tula, but let’s face it, I get a lot of skincare, so therefore I get to try out so much stuff. Because of that, I try to rotate in new products a couple times a week, or add more steps to my routine.
It’s not unusual for me to use multiple serums every night, or even swap out my moisturizer for an overnight mask instead one or two days a week. There are so many amazing skincare products, and if there is one beauty product out there I take seriously, it’s definitely skincare.
With the weather getting chillier (especially here in Winnipeg where it snowed last Friday), my skin tends to get drier, so the need for some extra TLC every morning and night is greater. Here are some of my new skincare all-stars that I recommend swapping into your routine this season.
Rodial Dragon’s Blood Cleansing Water
When I start my night-time skincare routine, if I’m wearing makeup, I always make sure to remove it first before I go in with my cleanser. More often than not, I’ll go in with a micellar solution to break down the makeup and prep my skin for my cleanser.
The Rodial Dragon’s Blood Cleansing Water (C$45) hydrates and soothes the skin thanks to the rose water in the ingredients. This refreshing treatment (which smells quite lovely, might I add) removes makeup and impurities, as well as soothes sensitive skin, thanks to the added Dragon’s Blood. It also has Vitamin B3 to illuminate and even skin tone.
Laneige Vitamin Brightening Cleansing Water
Similar to the Rodial version, Laneige also has a cleansing water which also comes in that convenient pump packaging (honestly, it makes getting the product on a cotton round so much easier).
Their Vitamin Brightening Cleansing Water (C$31) is also gentle on the skin and uses micellar water powered by skin-brightening vitamins and berries to melt away makeup and maintain your skin’s moisture levels. The formula itself doesn’t have any mineral oil or synthetic colorants, and over time, the blend of vitamins B,C, and superberry extract helps to brighten and protect skin.
Fresh Beauty Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence
This toner from Fresh Beauty is my newest skincare obsession. I’ve chatted about the Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence previously (read post here), and although it’s expensive (C$85 for a 150ml bottle), it will do wonders for your skin.
So aside from the delicious kombucha scent, this treatment has eight benefits in one amazing liquid product. It provides anti-pollution and antioxidant protection, increases skin’s luminosity, reduces the look of fine lines, refines the appearance of pores, improves elasticity, smooths skin’s texture, boosts skin’s healthy tone, and provides 24-hour moisture. I mean, what else could you possibly want from a product?
I typically apply this after my cleanser to get rid of any leftover makeup that my cleanser didn’t quite remove, and to prep my skin for my eye cream, serums, and moisturizers.
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
You can really never have enough serums.
Since there’s literally a serum out there for everything, it’s not unusual for me to incorporate multiple ones into my everyday routine. When I saw that Shiseido had a new one out, I was super intrigued to give it a try.
The Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate (C$125) is a serum for all skin types that hydrates, strengthens and firms, and defends against daily damage, while at the same time boosting your moisturizer. Just like so many other skincare products out there right now, this will also help with fighting daily environmental aggressors like pollution. The formula was actually developed in tandem with Harvard scientists and contains reishi mushroom and iris root extract for 28 per cent stronger skin in one week. Shiseido recommends to use this treatment to supercharge your other serums and moisturizers, so apply this one after your toner.
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Finally, my very last step in my skincare routine is an easy one, apply some lip balm! I’m not too picky usually with what I use; as long as it keeps my lips moisturized, I’m happy.
Recently I’ve been using and loving Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask (C$24), a leave-on mask that hydrates and smoothes the lips while you’re sleeping. This creamy balm sticks on the lips and is enriched with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and minerals to lock in moisture. The product itself comes with a little applicator that you can use to shovel a little bit of the product out to coat the lips (a little goes a long way).
This is kinda pricey for a lip balm, but honestly, this little container will last you a long time and the formula is really luxurious, creamy, and hydrating. I highly recommend picking this up, you will not regret this one.
Although I’ve been absolutely loving my Tula products, I’ve just been pretty much using the cleanser, serum, and moisturizer, with these other products thrown in for the most optimal, luxurious skincare routine. I highly recommend checking these products out this season; most of them are on the newer side, and trust me, your skin is going to love you after a few days of use.
