Has Anyone Tried Rimmel London #StayMatteSwitch?

In my VoxBox from influenster.com, I received a full size tube of Rimmel London Stay Matte foundation. For a grocery store brand, it's pretty awesome. It is insanely light. It feels like a mousse. My sample was True Ivory 103. As I started to apply it, I thought for sure it was going to be too light. But, it blended beautifully. It is so soft and light on my skin. I did learn the hard way that a little goes a long way. Which, is good now that I know. It should last quite a long time. My skin is a bit on the oily side naturally, so I did notice it was a bit greasy after extended wear. But, even after blotting, it still looks pretty good. But, for a price tag under $6, it worked better than most of the drugstore brands I've tried. (That's saying a lot since I was the cosmetics manager at a grocery store for years. I've tried almost all of them!) So, here is my "classic go to look". I try to keep it pretty mellow for days up on campus. :)

*I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

  1. Does it dry like powder? I'll have to try this one!

    1. No Lourdes, that is my single criticism of this foundation. I have naturally oily skin. By the end of the day, it's pretty greasy using this brand. It definitely isn't powdery. But, if I use a good powder over top, it holds on for 6-8 hours without looking shiny. If you have dry/normal skin, I would bet you could go a lot longer.
