Hey everyone,
So I apologise if it has been quiet a long time since I posted something on my blog but unlike other bloggers out there I test products over a period of time and do not base my views on just a first impression.
Today's review is on a Rimmel Eyeshadow. This eyeshadow has been out for quiet some time, but it is still available for purchase online. I had the eyeshadow for a while and I decided to throw it away, but before I did I have decided to write this review.
As you know I usually write my reviews by comparing the product to what is advertised by the company, but for this one I couldn't find what Rimmel claims that this product achieves, so will base it on what one normally looks for in an eyeshadow.
Packaging: It comes in a small compact, with two decent sized eyeshadows and an eyeshadow applicator. The compact is easy to carry around in a handbag, but the applicator is rubbish in my opinion, so either buy a new good applicator if you are on the go or use a brush if you are using at home.
Colours: From a quick google search, this product does come in a variety of colours, but I will only comment on the one I have - 383 Budding Star. Budding Star comes in a white shade on the left side and a pale minty green on the right side.
Pigmentation: Pigmentation is the absolute worse I have seen, it is very poor and the pale minty green looks white when applied, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a duo compact as the colours look too similar. Also when I went to apply it on my eyelid, barely any eyeshadow was transferred on my eyelid, I thought it might be the applicator the eyeshadow comes with as it seems it absorbs the powder, but when I tried with my fingers still very very little product showed up. In order to achieve a decent colour on my eyelid I had to reapply for several times! Also the eyeshadow didn't last for 8 hours as the packaging claims at the back. The eyeshadow didn't crease, but how would you expect an eyeshadow with barely any pigmentation to crease!?
However, I would like to point out that the product can also be applied wet, which I did not try so maybe pigmentation pay-off is better when applied wet.
Would I buy it again?
Definitely NOT! I personally prefer to apply my eyeshadows dry and was really disappointed with the pigmentation on this one. I wouldn't recommend this eyeshadow. Maybe the other shades in the range have better pigmentation but after the bad experience with this one, I wouldn't even bother test the shades at the beauty store, let alone buying it.
I hope you have enjoyed this product review, feel free to share your views on this eyeshadow or any other eyeshadows and don't forget to subscribe ;D
