Rimmel London 9 in 1 Radiance BB Cream

BB Creams are everywhere like mushrooms in a field these days, and they all promise miraculous results! Sometimes, though, they actually do what they promise to do, and this is one of those times. 

First up, this offering from Rimmel seems to be from the same range as the Wake Me Up line, judging by the packaging and the smell... This beautiful cream product claims to be a 9in1, so here's the list!! 

  1. Primes
  2. Smoothes
  3. Conceals
  4. Helps minimise the appearance of pores
  5. Provides natural looking coverage
  6. Moisturises for 24hrs
  7. Awakens tired skin
  8. Brightens the skin with Vitamin C complex
  9. Gives a radiant finish
I definitely agree with this BB Cream and I think it's great in place of the Wake Me Up foundation for work or school. It's light but gives coverage and doesn't look patchy like other BB Creams can. If you wanted to be 100% sure and secure in covering up redness I would suggest putting a concealer such as Wake Me Up Concealer on any serious redness such as around the nose or on your chin and then applying this BB Cream over the top for a flawless finish. You don't even need to set this as it has a demi-matte finish. 

All in all I think this BB Cream is top notch and I'm really impressed with it. 

Not bad for 8.99 in Boots

February Wishlist

With January finally over, it's time to look to Spring... I'm compiling a wishlist of the things I would love to have for the beginning of the spring season!


Top of the list are Toms. I'm utterly in love with Toms, what an amazing shoe, with a brilliant ethical ethos. I used to be all about Crocs. They were my Number 1 all time ffavouriteshoe. For years, I never wore anything else. Toms have now filled that void for me!! Toms shoes are not only wonderful for their fashionable prints, colour range and ability to always be bang on trend, but also because of their #OneForOne giving programme. Toms use their profits not only from Shoes, but also from Sunglasses, and Coffee to supply the people of Third World Countries with new shoes, sight treatments and clean water respectively. I think I speak for everyone when I say there is no such thing as Buyers Remorse when you treat yourself to a pair of these amazing shoes.

In February, I don't intend on buying four pairs, but I would like to have another 2 maybe?? The black wedges would be wonderful for work, and the cream crochet ones would be nice for adding a casual girly element to any outfit.



Then I want to get some new Running gear. If you follow me on Twitter, you'll know I'm working up to doing a half marathon this year, and for that I'm going to need some serious running gear. I will be investing in some more Under Armour Sports Bras, because they are absolutely wonderful for keeping your knockers in check while you run. Then some Nike Running Tights for training would be nice! Nothing says serious runner like compression gear. I need a new running watch desperately, something with GPS to track my mileage, instead of my phone! Finally, the Asics Gel Noosa. I've been lusting after these for a long time and soon they will be mine... Oh yes!!



Finally, I have a fashion inspiration wishlist. I want to invest in some oversize sweaters for the early spring season, like the white "Ballin" and black "Normal People Scare Me" ones in the vision-board above. I want to get some good quality jeans, like the River Island ones included above. I need new glasses too, so I'm going to save up and get some Ray Ban Wayfarers. As for accessories, I'm all about representing the things I love, as you all know, so some nice new Arrow rings would be much enjoyed!!
