NEW Rimmel Insta Fix & Go 2-in-1 Primer and Setting Spray
Rimmel Insta Fix & Go 2-in-1 Primer and Setting Spray Demo
When it comes to setting sprays, I’ve never been a diehard fan of them. Some people swear by them and use them day in, day out and can’t live without them, I myself am not one of those people. I’ve never really found that setting sprays do an awful lot for my makeup and have always felt they’ve been a bit of a gimmick, at least that was until recently. Rimmel #Insta Fix & Go 2-in-1 Primer and Setting Spray is a new launch from Rimmel and one that I’m sure glad I did try. Rimmel are the latest brand to jump on the setting spray bandwagon on a drugstore level. Compared to the likes of Maybelline, L’Oreal and NYX; Rimmel is specifically designed to be used both before and after makeup. The chemicals aren’t overpowering and the scent is refreshing cucumber so you don’t feel like you’re damaging your skin. The spritzer could use some improvement (it’s not as fine as per say, Urban Decay) but it gets the job done. Despite being fast drying (no need to fan your face for five minutes afterwards to get it to dry) this setting spray doesn’t dry out or dehydrate my skin, if anything I feel it helps to keep it hydrated and stops makeup looking cakey. All these are great attributes of the product, but the key is the staying power. When I first used this, I didn’t have high expectations, but I thought I may as well spritz it on before and after applying my makeup. When the end of the day came around my makeup was still looking fresh and similar to how it did when I first applied it, it took me a moment to realize this product was what had helped. I’d applied my makeup at 6:00am in the morning, checked my makeup at 2:30pm and didn’t remove it until 4PM, I usually don’t wear powder and prefer a dewy look with my foundation so for my makeup to last for 10 hours is pretty impressive.
