Rimmel Cool Matte Mousse Foundation

You can find this at Wal-Mart, which is where I bought it in September of 2007. It is now March 2008 and this stuff got rancid pretty quick, only five months when usually, foundations last a year. The foundation itself is really good. Though it's claim is a matte face for 16 hours, that really didn't help. My face was a slimeball by the end of the day if I don't put powder on. It doesn't photograph well because I used this for my college yearbook photo and when I got my photo back, my face had a greyish appearance. Eww... it was the only foundation I had at the time! It does have a cooling feeling when you apply, but it goes away pretty fast. It's a sheer to medium coverage, pretty decent, in my opinion. The colors seem true, though some colors look too pink for some individuals. It's also very lightweight being that it is a mousse, it's supposed to be that way. This stuff lasted the whole day on me, but the 16 hour matte claim is a joke. The only thing that's true is the "no transfer" claim. This stuff really doesn't rub off and it seems to be the only foundation I've used that really says it doesn't transfer, though a lot of people say Revlon Colorstay doesn't budge, I can't say my opinions since I've never tried it. The ingredients aren't listed on the jar, which scares me because it may have ingredients they don't want anyone to know or read...? The texture is definitely a mousse, but a more liquidy type than creamy. The glass jar is unhygenic being that we have to dip our fingers in it, but when sharing with friends... That's a different story... The glass is pretty inconvenient, too, being that glass breaks easily. No, duh. When you open it, there's a cap to protect the mousse from getting the lid messy, and that's a good reason to keep that cap! So ladies, please, don't throw it away or it'll be the lid you'll end up using, not the jar. I wouldn't repurchase because of short life, not good for travel, and doesn't keep my face matte for 16 hours! But, if you want something that doesn't rub off and lasts long on the face, then this is for you.
