First Impression: Rival de Loop Young's New Products

Rival de Loop Young changed their whole counter at Rossmann. They have a lot of new products. In general it is the kind of brand for younger crowds but they have some really nice products for a very small price. So I thought I want to test some things, I already love the eyeshadow base. So I bought a lipstick and a foundation. Here are some of my first impressions, this will not be a review since I had no chance to test them yet.

#Rival de Loop Young Lipstick 09 moulin rouge (1,69€)


The packaging is bright pink and even though it does not look very sophisticated, I like it way more than a lot of other packaging from expensive brands.. There are some sparkly colours as well but I fell in love with moulin rouge aa dark redish berry color. The lipstick has a sweet smell, a bit liek chewing gum, not really my thing but it is not very strong and once applied you dont notice it anymore. The color applies very smoothly to the lips, it is surprisingly creamy and the pigmentation is very nice. The finish is similar to MAC's amplified I would say. I has really dry lips when I tried this one and they looked very nice with the lipstick and felt moisturized. So overall I can't wait to wear it more often.
The only issue might be that it is a bit too cremy and does not last very long but anyway with under 2 Euro it does not hurt that bad.







#Rival de Loop Young Fresh Kick Make-up 01 Natural (1,99€)
Since all my light weight foundations are empty I thought this one sounded quite good. The color did not look perfect but since it is more like a BB creamit blends in prettyy well, so I hope with powder it will look ok. But for all you really bright ladies, it will be probably too dark.
The consistancy is pretty thick and the smell is nice subtile like a face cream. But I have to say my packaging was broken the pump mechanism did not work, so I replaced it, I hope it is just m product but I wanted to mention it anyway. I had packiging errors with pump foundation before so I am not too surpised but with this price, if the product is nice and it was a one time thing I will be able to get past that. The coverage is light to medium. I will tell you more after trying it.
