REVIEW: Rimmel Wake Me Up CONCEALER

Hello girls, 

A while back I purchased the Wake me up concealer from Rimmel and a few days ago I decided to take advantage of the new holidays-season discounts and buy the Wake me up Foundation. I was persuaded into buying them by one of my favorites beauty gurus from Youtube because she swears by them and I bought many products recommended by her and they were great.
First of all I have to say that I have normal to dry skin and if I don't moisturize every day I get very dry patches around my nose and on my forehead which makes it a pain in the ... bum to apply foundation. I rarely use a powder because I don't get oily in my T-zone unless I wear the foundation for a really long time or if it is very hot outside. Also, I don't have very bad under-eye bags. With all this being said, in this blog post I will share my thoughts on the Rimmel Concealer because I have a longer experience with it since it is my baby for almost six months. I will make a full review on the Wake Me Up Foundation in a few days because I want to test it a little more in order to give you an accurate review.

Acum ceva timp am cumparat anticearcanul Rimmel Wake Me Up, iar zilele trecute am decis sa profit de reducerile de sarbatori si sa imi cumpar si fondul de ten Wake Me Up. Am fost convinsa sa imi cumpar aceste produse de una din fetele pe care le urmaresc pe Youtube, care este foarte multumita de aceste produse si mereu are lucruri frumoase de spus despre ele. Am cumparat mai multe produse recomandate de ea si au fost foarte bune.
Trebuie sa mentionez ca tenul meu este normal spre uscat, iar daca nu folosesc in fiecare zi o crema hidratanta, pielea mea devine foarte uscata, mai ales in jurul nasului si pe frunte, ceea ce face ca fondul de ten sa arate oribil pentru ca imi accentueaza acele portiuni uscate. De obicei nu folosesc pudra pentru ca nu prea mi se ingrasa tenul decat daca port fondul de ten pentru o perioada foarte lunga de timp sau daca este foarte cald afara. De asemenea, nu am cearcane foarte pronuntate. Cu toate acestea fiind spuse, in aceasta postare va voi impartasi impresiile mele legate de anticearcanul Wake Me Up pentru ca il am de aproximativ 6 luni si am avut timp sa imi fac o parere despre el. O sa fac un review si fondului de ten in cateva zile pentru ca nu am vrut sa ma grabesc. Il am doar de cateva zile asa ca o sa il mai testez pentru a face un review cat mai bun.

I used this concealer in several videos, you can see how it looks on my skin in the following tutorials: 

Am folosit acest concealer in cateva videoclipuri, puteti vedea cum arata pe tenul meu in urmatoarele tutoriale:

When I first tried this concealer I did not like it at all. It seemed to me that it didn't show up at all on my skin and it didn't make any difference, it was as if I did not use any concelear. I was very dissapointed because I heard good things about it and everybody seemed to love it. My mistake was that every time I tried to work with this product I used a brush to blend it out, which didn't work because the brush actually rubbed the product off of my face, whereas when I used my fingers to dab the product onto my skin there was a huge difference because your fingers will actually warm up the product and it will blend better. You have to be patient and carrefully blend the product with a very light hand and you will see that it works very well. 

This is a light to medium-coverage concealer but it gives a very nice highlighting effect to the under-eye area and that's why I use this product on the bridge of my nose and on my forehead to highlight those areas too. Because it is so light it doesn't set into my fine lines around my eyes and I noticed that it works best if I don't apply powder to set it.


Prima data cand am folosit acest anticearcan am fost foarte dezamagita de el. Mi se parea ca nu se vede nicio diferenta, era ca si cum nu imi dadusem cu nimic pe fata. Nu imi venea sa cred pentru ca citisem foarte multe review-uri despre el si toata lumea parea sa fie indragostita de acest produs. Problema era ca il aplicam gresit, mereu foloseam o pensula, iar aceasta imi stergea practic produsul de pe fata. Am descoperit ca, folosind degetele pentru a aplica produsul prin miscari de tapotare, nu numai ca incalzeste produsul si il face sa alunece mai usor, dar il face sa acopere mult mai bine anticearcanele si sa lumineze zona ochilor. 

Are o acoperire mica spre medie dar ofera un efect foarte frumos de luminozitate, de aceea il aplic atat in zona de sub ochi, cat si pe nas si frunte. Pentru ca are o consistenta asa usoara, nu imi accentueaza liniile fine din jurul ochilor si am observat ca acest produs arata cel mai bine cand nu imi aplic pudra.

On the Rimmel site, the description for this concealer is the following:

Rimmel's first full coverage concealer  - definitely not full coverage 

Instant anti-fatigue effect with peptides and vitamin moisturising complex. - true

Visibly reawakens and illuminates under the eyes. -true

Completely conceals spots and other blemishes. -it hides spots and blemishes but it doesn't conceal them completely.

Pe site-ul Rimmel, acest produs este descris astfel: 

Corectorul lichid Wake Me Up ascunde cearcanele vizibile, avand un efect anti-oboseala. -adevarat

In plus, textura sa fina confera luminozitate instantanee. -adevarat

Dupa cum se poate observa, descrierea de pe site-ul din Romania este mai putin pompoasa si, din punctul meu de vedere, mai corecta si mai exacta cu privire la ce face in realitatea produsul.

Here are some photos with this concealer applied on my hand:

All in all, I like it very much because I did not want a concealer that hides very well blemishes or spots, I wanted something to highlight and conceal a little bit the area under my eyes. If you like these characteristics I encourage you to buy this product because you will love it too. I hope you found this helpfull and stay tunned for the Wake Me Up Foundation Review. 

In concluzie sunt foarte multumita de acest produs pentru ca nu imi doream un anticearcan care sa imi acopere foarte bine imperfectiunile, ci unul care sa imi lumineze zona ochilor si sa imi acopere cat de cat cearcanele. Daca si voi va doriti aceste lucruri atunci va recomand acest produs, pentru ca o sa va placa foarte mult. Sper ca gasiti acest Review folositor si ne auzim in urmatoarea postare despre fondul de ten Wake Me Up.
