Which Rimmel Powder is best?

Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour powder foundation, or Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder?
That is the question. They're both very good products from Rimmel London.


Firstly, Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour powder foundation. I bought this product about a month ago, after having used Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder for a few years, I felt maybe I should branch out and try a new pressed powder.. yes I know I didn't branch out far with the brand, but it's still something slightly different. I got this powder in the shade 001 Light Porcelain, which I find to have a slight pink tinge to it which I dislike, but I can deal with it. The first thing that disappointed me was it has got less in it, with only 7.0g, and is also more expensive (I purchased it for $14.99 at Chemist Warehouse). I like that this product comes with it's own mirror, and sponge. However I don't use sponges for powder, I prefer a brush so I guess it's a bit of a waste for me personally. I am quite disappointed with the coverage of this powder, and I find that I have to apply a far amount to my brush in order for it to do anything. In a pervious post where I review the liquid foundation of this powder, I said that I use powder to lighten up the foundation I use, this product doesn't exactly do that for me because of the pink tinge and it's difficulty with application. 



Now Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder, I get this powder in the shade 001 Transparent and I am 100% satisfied with this shade. As I said above I have been using this product for a few years now, in actually fact, I've been using it ever since I first started wearing make up. I chose this product due to it's reasonable price of $9.99 (at chemist warehouse). Unlike the product above, this contains more powder, doubling the other product with 14g. So you get more for a better price which is already a thumbs up. I am incredibly impressed with this powder, with it's great coverage of acne spots and elimination of lines on my face. I honestly can not rave more about this product, it is really an 11/10 kind of powder, especially for a product you can pick up from your local chemist / pharmacy. I highly recommend this product to everyone, and would hands down chose it over the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25 hour powder foundation.
