Best and Worst: Rimmel

Hi Guys! 
As we all probably know by now, Rimmel is my favorite drugstore brand. Because of this, I thought I would do a post completely dedicated to them! I decided to do a "Best and Worst" because even though I love them, there still have been a few things I wasn't a huge fan of. Here we go!
Best: 
Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in 202 Nude
Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Classic Beige 
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks 
Rimmel ScandalEYES Waterproof Kohl Eyeliners in 006 Deep Blue and 002 Sparkling Black

Worst: 
Rimmel BB Cream Beauty Balm in Medium
Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner in 270 Purple Shock


Reasons why I love Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation: 
This foundation has a very nice natural satin finish to it which I love because I don't like looking shiny but I think too matte foundation make me look cakey. It has medium coverage but it is really easy to work with and build if you need more coverage. It lasts me a good 8 hours with a primer and a press powder without any touch ups. Only thing that bothers me is that the American bottle doesn't have a pump and I tend to spill to much out however the British one does have a pump. It makes no sense to me that one does a pump and the other doesn't! 


Reasons why I love Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer: 
This concealer looks amazing underneath the eyes! It honestly makes my circles disappear. Also It doesn't crease. Creasing is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to concealer and Wake Me Up has never creases on me! It has a nice consistency to it; it isn't too liquidity or too stiff. 



Reasons why I love Rimmel Kate Moss Lipsticks: 
I own two of these lovely lipsticks; one in the red tube in 109 (matte) and one in a black tube in 17. I adore the packaging of the Kate Moss lipsticks. I think the shape of the tubes make them look a lot more expensive than they really are and the red color of the matte tubes is beautiful. Both of these lipsticks are really easy to put on and last a good amount of time. The 109 is a nice light corally pink while the 17 is a lovely girly pinky shimmery tone. I wish the lipsticks had real names instead of numbers but I can deal with numbers! 



Reason why I love Rimmel ScandalEYES Waterproof Kohl eyeliners: 
I have these amazing eyeliners in deep blue and sparkling black. These eyeliners have a great easy to apply creamy formula to them. The pigment is amazing as well! There is no fighting with the pencil for color; it comes right of the pencil and straight to your eye. They last me a good 5 hours without any smudging or drying! I love using the deep blue for a little bit of a pop of color and the sparkles in the black aren't too overwhelming! Overall, they are great eyeliners and I really need to get more colors! 


Reasons why I don't love Rimmel BB Cream Beauty Balm: 
 I actually did a full review on why this product disappointed me (Read it here). It felt so heavy! I actually thought I was applying like SPF 100 to my face. Also it felt sticky and made me look orange. It was one of those products that just did not click. 



Reason why I don't love Rimmel Exaggerate Eyeliner: 
my issue with this product isn't actually the product but the color I got. I have it in shocking purple and when you swatch it or look at it, it looks like an amazing bright purple. However, when I put it on, it looked lot more pink than purple. When I wore it in my waterline it actually made me look like i was either sick or had an eye irritation. It was not a good look. 



What's your favorite/ least favorite Rimmel product?
Lots of Love

    1. I like Maybelline as well but I like Rimmel a little bit more. I like Rimmel's ScandelEYES better than any of the Maybelline eyeliners. Maybelline does have a lot of good products (big fan of the Fit Me foundation) but I'm just drawn to Rimmel more! Thanks for the questions! xx
