RIMMEL


RIMMEL LONDON

Highlight & Define

Face & Eyes!


Rimmel London Good To Glow Highlighter 
#003 SOHO GLOW
Creating that dewy fresh and youthful glow seems to be a makeup trend explosion which has errupted
only over the past few years and boy are companies cashing in! Ok I'll admit, I too have fallen for
this makeup trend. How could you not want to look all shiny, sparkly and just a little bit like a fairy?

Honestly, unless you're walking the runway, posing for an illuminating campaign or re-creating the
highlighting challenge, then at 25ml tube such as this will really go a long long way! For everyday
use, when it comes to highlighting your face, less is definitely more.

This illuminator gives your skin a subtle shimmering glow whilst looking dewy at the same time
without actually being wet or greasy feeling on the skin. The formula actually dries very fast!

The shade is a very light bronze gold and would show up more on tanned or darker skin tones.

Also available in 'Notting Hill Glow'.


Rimmel London Brow This Way Highlighting Pencil
This equaling as pretty little pencil has been something I have been keeping handy in my purse lately
as I have found it to be a surprisingly great little companion to have on me on days when I don't have
time to do my makeup and when the hubby is driving with the kids in the back and I whip it out along
with my favourite gloss and quickly give my key face points some life.

Not only does this work great for the brow bone, it can also be used at the cheek bones sparingly,
cupids bow and the inner corner of the eyes for that wide awake illusion when I am anything but!

The shade is a few times lighter than the Good To Glow liquid illuminator above and can be worked
onto the skin a little more and you can take your time as it doesn't dry or set.


Exclusive to ASOS online you can purchase this Rimmel London Pack which includes this very
good looking Magnif'Eyes shadow palette!! Very excited to see if this becomes available in stores soon! What an absolute bargain for $29! What do you think?

Rimmel London Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascara
When it comes to mascaras, honestly these kind of budget buys which Rimmel London seem to 
release quite regularly really are my favourite ones to use daily. I just don't get spending upwards of
$50 on a mascara which is only good to use for a max 3 three months and then you should be 
replacing it. Pick up one of these babies for a mere RRP $17.95 from Priceline (often found even
cheaper when their regular sales, deals & offers are on if you keep your eyes pealed) and you can keep the extra cash for spend on more important things, like more makeup! ;)

What I love particularly about this newbie is it's fat brush and ease of use. The formula just coats my
lashes lifting, thickening and lengthening all in just a few coats. I love how this mascara defines my
eyes and makes them look larger. Wearing it along with the highlighting products above and the
new Scandaleyes eyeliners, all of these products just work together so perfectly to create a 
beautifully defined eye area which really pops, looks awake and at the end of the day removes
really easily with a few dabs of Micellar Water.


Rimmel London Scandaleyes Thick & Thin Black Liquid Eyeliner
Rimmel has come out with some great liquid eyeliners over the past few years which I have used a lot
recommend and have found to be great staple makeup items. This new one in particular is quite
interesting because you can create both a thick or thin line with it. The end is an unusual shape and
depending on how you tilt it will determine the thickness of your black line. 

If you haven't yet tried any of Rimmel London's liquid eyeliners, then I highly recommend you do.
For a small investment of just RRP $12.95 each right now at Priceline, you can pick up one of these
and they will last you at least a few months without drying out so long as you keep the click on cap
securely clicked on when you're not using it!



Rimmel London Scandaleyes Black Precision Micro Liquid Eyeliner
This liquid liner looks almost identical to the Thick & Thin Scandaleyes version however true to it's name, this Micro liner has a super fine, thin tip which if you choose to can achieve the most on
point neat and precise line to your eyes, completely defining them on both the top and bottom.

Depending on your preference, this eyeliner can be a great choice for a simple understated everyday
look. I like this because it gives me the flexibility to be creative with patterns and a super sharp wing!

These and all Rimmel London products can be purchased both online and in store Australia wide at
Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Big W, Woolworths, Coles, Target and Chemist Warehouse.

NEW FROM RIMMEL


NEW! 
FROM RIMMEL LONDON!




This clever little trio will save you so much space in your everyday makeup bag!
Instead of lugging three different products around, this 3 in 1 has it all together conveniently 
right here housed in this gorgeous gold trimmed plastic case.

From top to bottom, it starts with a lovely champagne highlighter to brighten the skin where the light
would naturally hit like the cheekbones, brow bone, across the top of the nose and I also like to use
 on the inner corners of my eyes to really open them up and this gives the illusion of larger eyes and a
more awake appearance.

In the centre is the contour/bronzing shade of a medium chocolate brown. I have found all of these 
shades great in terms of pigmentation. There aren't over the top making you look like a clown but
give just enough colour to make them easy to blend and also look natural on the skin whilst bringing
out your natural best! The bronzer is great for really giving some definition to your overall face and
slimming down any areas of concern.

Last but certainly not least is the universally loved coral peachy pink toned blush perfect for everyday
wear and when built upon can then take you into the night with a natural looking healthy flushed
appearance. This is best used on the apples of your cheeks. I like to use this between where I have
highlighted and contoured.

This new makeup must have is very affordable at just RRP $16.95 and can be found at Priceline,
Big W, K-Mart, Woolworths, Coles, Target and selected pharmacies.






This is an interesting, unique product I have not come across before now, but I think the idea is
very clever! Designed to wear either under or over lipstick to keep lips conditioned and prevent
drying. Especially great if you're into matte as these are often the most drying.

You can see more from the Kate Moss collection here. :)

With Winter nearing and the weather starting to chill, I have noticed my lips becoming more dry
especially in the wind we have been having lately! This has been great just to wear on it's own as
you would a lip balm when I am at home out in the yard with my kids. Being housed in the very
pretty white lipstick case with bubblegum pink swirly font, it feels a bit more fancy than just
your regular clear balm.

You can pick this one up right now at your local Priceline, Woolies, Coles, Target, K-Mart, Big W
and selected pharmacies for a reasonable RRP $9.95.




This radiant skin perfecting skin tint is lightly fragranced and provides light coverage over my mid
30's 'normal' skin. The light/medium shade is the perfect match to my light olive skin which is neither
oily nor dry. This product does include an SPF factor of 15 which works well for me for casual daily
wear. Also available in Medium/Dark for 30ml at RRP $13.95 at Priceline, Target, Coles, Big W,
K-Mart, Woolworths and selected pharmacies.

I enjoy wearing this on it's own, much as I would a tinted moisturiser or BB/CC cream for a more
natural day time look. If you enjoy light coverage over a heavy full face foundation or prefer to keep
it simple on weekends then this is the product for you. I feel like this would also perfectly suit those
just getting into makeup or don't like to wear makeup, however may need to for an event or such as
the result it gives is so natural whilst still smoothing out the skin and giving it a beautiful glow.




Have you tried any new makeup products lately?
Are you interested in any of these from Rimmel London?

ACONTOUR


~ AC ON TOUR ~
CONTOURING & HIGHLIGHTING KIT

By: Australis Cosmetics!


So every now and then there is a beauty product that has everbody talking. This is one of those
products. Raved about by beauty gurus, bloggers & vloggers all over Australia. A brilliant must 
have staple item perfect for beginners and professionals alike. The kit makes the confusion around
contouring simple. Broken down into 9 thouroughly explained, easy to follow steps using the 6
skin toned shades inside.

Now, if you're new to the art of contouring, let me break it down for you.
Contouring is a bit like magic. When done properly it can give the illusion of the perfect face.
Perfectly highlighted with chizzled cheek bones, a slimmer nose, face and that double chin, what
double chin? Know what I mean? If you've ever wondered how some women can transform them
selves with makeup and look almost unrecognizable, then you can bet your bottom dollar (along
with other makeup & other clever tricks) they've contoured the heck out of their whole face!

Ahh! Pretty packaging!!
RRP: $16.95 (Buy!)

Not to be confused with a similar looking Concealer Palette, which is designed to combat any redness, dark circles and imperfections 
on the skin.  The Contour Palette does a totally different job, yet both are brilliant essentials I recommend investing in your makeup collection. They are perfect to someone starting out in makeup who just want to concerntrate
  on getting the base right before delving into wearing loads of or any makeup. Without 
getting your base right, the icing on the cake will never look anywhere near as good as it could.

Just play around with products, practice and see what shades and techniques work for you.
You'll get there & with the help of products such as this one who break it down for you with
step-by-step instructions and pictures, you'll be contouring like a pro in no time! :)

SWATCHES!
From top to bottom/left to right as the palette shows above.

I'll admit taking the time to contour my whole face everday is not something I always do.
I am a busy mum of 2 toddlers so getting to spend time on my makeup is a treat.
However, this palette has so far changed my life as it makes contouring to much quicker
with all of the shades I could ever need all in one place! 

I feel like this has really helped my to perfect my base before applying the rest of my makeup
and it actually looks really natural on the skin and doesn't cake up with all the layers as I'd feared.

Do you contour?
What products do you recommend giving a go?
