Rimmel - Apocalips - Lip Velvet - Matte - Atomic Rose

This is a orange-peach liquid lipstick.

Over the Napoleon Perdis Nude Awakening lip liner.

The doe-foot applicator is easy to use.
It looks shiny in the picture but I had just applied it.

dry

Once dry, it still isn't a true matte.
It probably is less drying because it isn't a true matte.


Price: 2.5/5 (~$16 for 5mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Rimmel - Magnif'eyes - Glameyes Mono Eyeshadow - Q-Jump

I didn't get this to use as an eye shadow, I got it to use as a highlight.

Swatch!

There are very few highlights available in stores that will actually be light enough for me.
So white eye shadow is a better bet.

Check out that highlight!

This is a shimmery white shadow with really poor colour payoff.

I applied it with a kabuki brush (which is a big brush) and it worked great!

But never EVER use this as an eye shadow, it will be more disappointing than you can ever imagine.

Price: 4/5 ($10.95 for 3.5g)
New Name: Money Shot
Effectiveness: 0/5 (as an eyeshadow), 2/5 (as a highlight)

Same Product, Different Colour - Rimmel - Vinyl Jelly - Gloss Lip Liner - 010 Tasty

This is a soft, glossy, light brown lip liner that has more shine than usual.

It's pinker and lighter than I thought.
And perhaps too soft... the tip broke off.

Rimmel - Lasting Finish - Powdered Foundation - 002 Soft Beige

This is a pretty nice powder.

It applies well, is low coverage (my personal preference), and has a sponge and mirror in the compact.
It is a little annoying to have to put the mirror down to put more powder on the sponge, but they did it to save space.

The end result isn't cakey, which is ideal.

Price: 2.5/5 ($17.95 for 7g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - Wonder'full - Wake Me Up - Mascara

This is a fun idea, in which the mascara has cucumber volatiles in it (to freshen the eyes).

Do I think said volatiles will make you more awake? Not on a chemical level, but as an unusual stimuli, yeah.

Super sexy end of day makeup!
These are my natural eyelashes with mascara on them.

The brush is great, nice and long.
The formula is smooth and doesn't clump or flake off.

This is a fun twist on a makeup standard, try it!

Price: 2.5/5 ($18.95 for 11mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - Kate Sculpting Palette - 002 Coral Glow 

The highlighter is not light enough, the bronzer is not dark enough, the blush is passable.

Let's play 'Spot the Swatches'!

What it gives you in convenience, you lose in quality.

Avoid!

Price: 3.5/5 ($16.95 for 18.5 g)
Scent: 2.5/5 (no real scent)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Rimmel - Salon Pro - Chic Chick 377

This is a light pink-beige that is not opaque after two coats.
I could see using this for 'french nails', except it is really streaky.

Two coats and you can see the cross.

Avoid Rimmel for nail polishes.

Price: 3/5 (~$8 for 12mL)
New Name: Chicken Scratchings
Effectiveness: 1/5 

Rimmel - Wonder'full Volume Colourist Mascara - 003 Extreme Black

I love this mascara!
This gradually tints your eyelashes darker with use, so the paler tips are more visible.
Even without make up, your lashes look longer and fuller.

I was worried that it would stain the skin, but I didn't.

The brush is sensible, the bristles allow proper lash separation and prevents clumping.
It doesn't flake off over time, so there is no worry of fall out.

I love this and will (and already have) buy it again! 

Price: 3.5/5 ($18.95 for 11mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (virtually none)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - Moisture Renew - 380 Dark Night Waterl-oops!

This is a really nice lipstick!

It is moisturising, has good colour intensity, and lasts ~5 hrs with eating.

The negatives are the stupid colour name (I shall rename it 'Midnight Rendezvous') and it has a faint 'makeup' smell.

Meet me by the bridge at midnight ;)

Price: 3.5/5 (RRP $13.95 for 4g)
Scent: 2/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Rimmel - I Love Lasting Finish Nail Polish - 080 Black Cab

This has to be, hands down, one of the worst nail polishes I have ever tried.

The formula has low colour intensity, even for dark colours.
It chips within the day of application.
The brush is hopeless and gives a streaky result.

I cannot emphasize this enough, DON'T BUY THIS GARBAGE!

Get the London look!

Just avoid Rimmel nail polish.

Price: 3/5 ($4.99)
Scent: 0/5 (don't sniff it)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Rimmel - Scandaleyes - Waterproof Micro Eyeliner

I really wanted this to work!

It is something about my skin, my face produces so much oil (which isn't always bad). It is because of this natural oil that this felt-tip liner won't work on me.

The minute I try to line my eyes, it just stops working. The oils preventing the wicking action that the marker-like eye liner works by.

On my hand, this works fine. Moderate colour intensity, good line control.

Please, Rimmel, make a felt-tip liner that works for me!

Price: 1.5/5 (RRP $12.95 for 1.1mL)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 0/5 (on me)

Rimmel - Wonder'full Mascara with Argan Oil

Before we even get into the thing, lets just appreciate the brown-bronze metallic, cubist tube :3

Inside we have a decent, lash separating brush.
The formula smells like argan oil and vanila, and coats the lash smoothly with a good colour intensity.

This is an all round winner!
