Product Review – Rimmel London Ultimate Summer Glow Collection

Another week, another product review post. Rimmel London is one of my favourite drug store makeup brands. I love the fact that their products are quality and very affordable. I remember spending a good portion of my pocket-money on Rimmel London while I was at the university, and it is still also one of favourite makeup brands today.

Rimmel London Radiance Brick Multi-national Shimmer Powder

I find bronzing powders very useful, especially in the summer months. I find that they create a stunning bronze look, which I really like. I got the 002 medium shade. Here are my thoughts.

An ultra-fine, multi-tonal bronzing powder for soft shimmer effects and a glamorous, healthy looking glow.

  2. I like the sun-kissed look the powder creates.
  3. It is a multi-tasking product, it can be used for contour & highlight.
  4. It is affordable at £5.99.

CONS

None. I love this product a lot.

Rimmel London Kate Sculpting Palette

This clever combination of 3 powder shades – a highlighter, shading brush and blush is smart and handy to have around. I got the 002 coral glow shade (comes in 2 shades) and I am loving it so far.

The palette works with every face shape and skin tone, adding definition and structure. It seamlessly blend with your natural skin tone to create a contoured look.

PROS

  1. I like the fact that it is a multi-tasking palette. Why carry 3 kits when you can just take 1!
  2. I found the shades easy to blend.
  3. The shades look great on my skintone.
  4. I love the sleek packaging.
  5. It is so affordable at £6.99

Rimmel London Insta Duo Contour Stick

This new Duo Contour Stick was also included in the pack I received from Rimmel. I reviewed this Contour Stick some weeks ago, so you can catch up on that. I think it is a fantastic contour kit. It is so easy to use and has made my makeup application a lot faster.

Rimmel London Sunshimmer Instant Tan

Now the jury is still out as to whether women of colour use a tan. I have personally never thought of using a tan until I received this Sunshimmer Instant Tan by Rimmel London. I have used it a few times now and I like the highlighted skin tone it gives me.

Ultra-blendable formula that instantly illuminates, leaving skin with an all-over matte sun-kissed glow.

PROS

  1. I love the pretty packaging.
  2. I like the price at £6.99.
  3. It is water-resistant.
  4. It washes off quickly with soap and water.
  5. It leaves my skin glowing.

Product Review: Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation & Laura Mercier Lipstick

I am slowly turning to a beauty/makeup junkie, I know! But I can’t resist trying out new products. I love exploring, so the fashion and beauty world is like my playground.  I don’t think I will ever get tired of reviewing products. I can see myself doing this for a very long time……

Estee Lauder Double Wear Image

I reviewed the famous Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in a Rich Cocoa shade some days ago and I have been eager to tell you all about it. I am always in the pursuit of the next best foundation to try. I think the foundation is the base of the makeup, so I think it is very important to pay attention to the base/foundation, so you get the entire makeup right.

Here is what Estee Lauder has to say about this product:

Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup SPF 10
Keeps skin looking fabulous, breathing comfortably through heat, humidity and activity without changing colour, fading or coming off on clothes. Natural matte finish and SPF10 sunscreen to protect skin.

  5. It is long-lasting. It stayed on and in place all day. I can see myself using this little 30 ml bottle for months.
  6. It is great for all skin types.
