Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder

After my spending ban one of the products consistently on my wish list was the Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder.  I see so many of the YouTubers I watch and blogs I read raving about it (namely Tanya Burr) that I thought I'd give it a re-try.  I used to use this when I was a young teenager but I think it's fair to say, that was a long time ago and it was a different product back then.  I know previously lots of people had complained that the lid would just lift off, so not great for your makeup bag, but it seems they've updated the packaging now so it's a twist on lid, yay :)

My Thoughts

It's true that this is a very different product from the one I used to use years and years ago.  I didn't like it back then (too heavy and cakey) but I love it now :)  I apply it with a fluffy brush to set my foundation, that way it's not too heavy either.  Now, it didn't keep me shine free all day (I do have particularly oily skin), but it kept me matte for longer than any other powder I've used, and instead of going shiny, I'd be more dewey.

All in all it's a great product, one I would definitely re-purchase.  Rimmel have certainly upped their game compared to what they were like when I was a teenager - impressed!
