Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 102 Light Natural* It’s mostly been too hot this summer to warrant wearing much on my face aside from the requisite liquid eyeliner and a dash of mascara, but for those days when we’ve had a slight respite from the heat, there’s just one thing that I’ve been buffing into my skin; Rimmel’s Match Perfection Foundation.

And for those wondering, given that this is a little of the mark of my previous capsule video , my Opening Ceremony sandals have been tossed to the…
It occurred to me over the weekend that I’ve come full circle with the capsule wardrobe – more than 12 months living with less choice, and I don’t think I would have done it any other way.
