Rimmel Extra WOW Lash Mascara in Extreme Black
This mascara came out back in June, which is when i purchased it, and it claims to have a huge brush which volumizes and lengthens lashes. I bought this Extra WOW Lash Mascara in Extreme Black for roughly $6-$8
PROS
large brush picks up alot of product
distributes mascara evenly to lashes
volumizes AND lengthens well
1 coat is nice for an everyday soft look
2-3 coats is great for a dramatic look
available in drugstores, not too pricey
long lasting, didnt smudge or wear off
o.k. for contact lens wearers
i prefer the slim straight-line packaging instead of some other bulky mascaras that are rounded or pointy
doesnt have that weird floral mascara scent that some do
50/50
N/a
CONS
N/a
Overall i love this mascara and i've been using it alot more than the other I own. Once im finished with most of mine i most likely will be buying another tube of this, or maybe getting one now for a backup! LOL.

Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation
I did not expect to like this foundation as much as I do, mainly because of how cheap it is and i typically can't find a Rimmel foundation in my shade. However, this new Clean Finish line, $3.97, is great and it has more shade options!
This foundation is very unique in the sense that it had a wand with a spatula on the end. This basically means you can scoop the product out as opposed to hitting it to try and get it to come out. In my opinion they probably added the spatula/wand because the foundation is very creamy and too thick to pour.
Rimmel Clean Finish Foundation
- - 100% poreless for a natural even complexion
- Lightweight for a clean, fresh finish.
- Vitamins A & E plus anti-oxidents
- Fragrance free
- Dermatologist testet
PROS
lightweight
medium coverage - could be layered for more coverage if needed
blends like a dream
no streaky lines
powdery feeling finish - not sticky
feels great with or without a powder on top
"Ivory" matched my skin tone perfectly
spatula came in handy - i like it a lot!
worked well on my dry AND oily areas
long lasting
definitely evened my complexion well
didn't smudge or transfer off onto clothes or anything else
cheap! only $3.97 each
better shade range than any other Rimmel foundation line
did reduce the appearance of my pores

-I found that this is best applied with a dampened sponge instead of a stippling brush just because of the creaminess and the fact its a little thicker than a liquid foundation. The sponge also gave a more airbrushed poreless effect than a brush did. Some people may not like this but it doesn't bother me.
-It claims to make you 100% poreless. It definitely reduced my pores ALOT but did not make them disappear 100% so the only issue i have is that their packing sort of lies... a little.

I totally love this! I cant believe it! It feels so amazing on my face. I've only been wearing it for about a week but i want to call it my Holy Grail foundation already! (we'll see though, only time will tell) mainly because of the overall finish & feel. I am very pleased with it - especially the price! LOL This will most definitely be a repurchase for me in the future.

Rimmel London Color Rush Trio in Fever
This is Rimmel London's Color Rush Eyeshadow Trio in Fever. It has three beautifully shimmery pastel purples in different shades, they apply nicely and are very soft & smooth, but they're not very pigmented. I bought this for $1.37 on clearance at Kmart (regular $5.49).
Unfortunately my swatches did not turn out as well as i thought they did after cropping/editing them so they're a bit out of focus, but you get the idea. I swiped the shadows onto my hand several times but they still dont look very pigmented, as you can see. However, if you like purple but are afraid to wear it on your eyes, give this palette a try. Its very soft and feminine and definitely not a 'dramatic' or dark purple eye look.

Rimmel London "U Rock!" Cream Shadow in Pavement
Here we are again, but i promise this is the last one! I gave you four days of Rimmel London U Rock! Cream Shadow Trio's, and we're finally at the end. This shade is called "Pavement" and the three shades are: white shimmer, medium blurple, and charcoal.
Yes, i said 'blurple', because I dont feel like this is a true purple shade, it seems like it has a hint of blue in it (to me). As always, these cream shadows are soft, pigmented, and easy to apply. Please use a lid primer before applying to prevent creasing and boost staying power of these shadows. Check out previous posts in my blog to see 3 more shades from this line. They were all purchased for $1.99 on clearance at KMart (regular $7.99). Swatches are below.

Rimmel London "U Rock!" Cream Shadow in Go Green!
Yep, lol, it's another Rimmel London U Rock! Cream Shadow Trio, this time its called "Go Green!". The shades are: golden yellow, light forest green, and medium chocolatey brown. And once again, im repeating myself in saying these shadows are creamy, pigmented, and sooo portable! But, incase you didnt see my other two reviews about different shades from this line, now you know!
I purchased this (and the others) for $1.99 at KMart on clearance (regular $7.99), so it was basically a steal. The products are in great condition and work perfectly fine so im not sure why they were on clearance unless they needed to make room for new products. And as always, please use an eyeshadow primer or base before using cream shadows to prevent creasing.

Rimmel London "U Rock!" Cream Shadow in Zest
Another one of Rimmel London's Cream Shadow Trio's, this time in 'Zest'. The shades are a light vanilla, medium orange, and a golden bronze. Just like before, these shadows are very creamy, pigmented, and easy to apply.
Bought this for $1.99 on clearance at KMart (regular $7.99). If you ever have trouble with creasing when it comes to cream shadows, but you love to wear them, you MUST invest in a shadow primer, please! It makes all the difference.

Rimmel London "U Rock!" Cream Shadow in Post Punk
I purchased this Rimmel London U Rock! Cream Shadow Trio in 'Post Punk' at my local KMart on the clearance rack for $1.99 (regular $7.99), so it was a huge deal!! I also bought 3 more shades that I will be reviewing soon.
The shadows themselves are very shimmer and creamy (duh!, lol). They apply so easily and are actually pretty pigmented and light reflective. I always like to wear cream shadows when I was to look "dewey" or "fresh". The three shades featured in 'Post Punk' are a very light pastel pink, a medium lilac, and a pinkish-mauve shade (swatches below). The best part about these cream shadows is the fact that you've got 3 shades in a small compact palette, and you could use this one product for an entire eye look (minus eyeliner or mascara). Really great deal, glad i bought them!

Rimmel London "Stir It Up" Eyeshadow
This is Rimmel London's "Stir It Up" Eyshadow in #600 Whatever...
I bought this shadow at least a year ago, threw it in one of my makeup train cases and totally forgot about it. I dont even know if they're sold anymore to be honest. However, I wished i wouldve bought more!!
This shadow has a mix of several different peach, maroon, and pink shades in it that are all VERY shimmery and beautiful. They arent exactly super pigmented, but they're perfect for layering and can give you really bright 'fresh' eyes, or just a tough of shimmer for your inner corners... whatever you prefer. And yes, the name of this shadow is "Whatever..."
As you can see from the swatches, depending on where you rub your finger and/or brush is what determines the shades of shadows you will get. They usually turn out to look like a marbled mix of pinks and golds.
