Rimmel London | Brand Faves

I don’t know about you-but when I find a good thing I’ll keep it going. If I believe a brand is god damn good I will most likely buy everything in its range.

Although drugstore prices in Australia can be up there, they do have quite a lot of sales and whenever they do, you’ll bet that I’ll be there picking out everything I don’t already have.

Rimmel London is a brand that I have found to have amazing quality at affordable prices. Today I thought I’d discuss my faves of my Rimmel London collection. Enjoy!

Lipsticks. Rimmel lipsticks are of incredible quality and such a wide range! The Kate Moss lipsticks in particular are amazing and if you have yet to pick any up, I’d suggest you drop whatever you’re doing right now and buy some. I think I will do swatches of all my Rimmel lipsticks soon so I’ll just tell you my favourites. Unfortunately, Rimmel lipsticks just have numbers so there are no creative names, but nevermind when they’re this good!

Faves: Kate Moss 107, Kate Moss 19, all the Apocalips Lip Velvets.

Primers. I have two Rimmel primers, and have found that one works well throughout the whole year and the other specifically in summer. The Fix and Perfect primer is amazing no matter the season however, I believe it has been deleted: nooooo! The Stay Matte primer is fantastic for your T-Zone during those oily months.

Face Products. The Rimmel Match Perfection foundation is incredible. It isn’t of extremely high coverage, yet it is full enough to cover imperfections well giving a natural look. At the moment I’ve been having trouble finding my perfect foundation shade, yet this save me as it kind of soaks into your skin to been the perfect shade. Both concealers are incredible, Match Perfection for acne and Wake Me Up for undereye brightening.

Powders. Rimmel Stay Matte Translucent Powder is a cult product. Everyone has it and everyone loves it. I use this every day and I don’t have a bad thing to say about it. This Rimmel blush I love also, it gives the perfect naturally rosy cheek blush and has enough product to last you ages!

Eye products. Both mascaras are fantastic for different things, the Scandaleyes one for big clumpy lashes and the Wonderfull for natural flared lashes. The Wonderfull one has argan oil and is great for rejuvenating your eyes when you need to give them a break but have to wear mascara somewhere.

Although I haven’t used the coloured kajal liners very much, they are smooth and creamy and sit well on the eye. The Scandaleyes cream shadow stick is the same formula although doesn’t have a bright pigmentation, but is fantastic for a swipe of colour!

The Scandaleyes pen liner was the first liner I ever used that I was successful in achieving a cat flick. I believe it is similar to the Benefit They’re Real liner. It stays in place all day and doesn’t budge.

The Rimmel eyebrow pencil is smooth and is the best pencil I’ve ever tried. It’s one you definitely need to have! I just wish there were a wider range of colours.

Well there you have it! My Rimmel London faves, hope you enjoyed xxx

Kmart Beauty Haul

Hey there! So, I went to kmart to find a bag. Just a bag. 1 hour later, I came back with reduced makeup, and quite a bit of it! This is a haul, and I am so excited to try out these products!

I think kmart may be getting rid of all their face of Australia products, as the entire range was reduced. I hope they replace it with NYX, or maybe even Milani (although I don’t know anywhere in Australia that sells Milani). Anyway, here’s what I bought!

Makeup remover wipes, and some more cotton pads! These are essentials and I always buy these cotton pads even though they get fluffy which I hate. But they’re $2 so what can I say? I’ve never tried these wipes though so hopefully they’re nice!

I picked up two different eyeliners, one liquid and one gel as my eyeliner collection is definitely nowhere near as big as any other part of my collection and I need to expand.

This loose translucent powder is raved about SO MUCH! I hope it lives up to my high hopes. I’m not a huge primer girl, despite wearing it every day, but I thought I’d give this a go anyway.

This eyeshadow quad in Gold Mine looked super cute and I love the brown shade in the top right hand corner. If these eyeshadows have nice pigmentation, it’d be great for travelling.

Well, that’s all! It’s not huge, I know, but I still felt like sharing!

Savvy Perfect Pout Mini Lipsticks | REVIEW

Hello, recently Priceline had their 40% off all cosmetics sale (which they only have, around twice a year). Everyone who remotely enjoys makeup went crazy (as we should).

I went to two different Priceline’s on the first day and ended up buying these Savvy Perfect Pout Mini Lipsticks. They come in a pack of 10, and retail for $10. The colours range from nudes, to bright reds. As soon as I saw these I thought they’d be perfect for someone who wants a range of lip colours, and doesn’t have a lot of money.

Each lipstick comes in a black tube which has 3.2g of product in them. They’re all matte shades. They’re very cute, but how good are they actually?

The colours include:

Riot: A nude/pinky colour.

Nudie Run: A nude/brown colour, with a tiny bit of pink undertone.

Berry Appealing: A bright redish/pink.

Sacred Scarlet: A dark brown shade, with a red undertone.

Platform: A rustic red shade with a tinge of brown.

Icon: A bright purple, in fact I’d describe it as an Ursula Purple.

Red Velvet: A bright red, extremely matte.

Bonfire: A bright orange with a red undertone.

Flirty Flamingo: A dulled hot pink shade.

Petulant Plum: A deep/medium purple. Has a pink undertone.

From L-R As Above.

These lipsticks are amazing for the price, and really give a good range of colours. However, as soon as I attempted to open/apply they broke off. I’m not sure if this happened to everyone, but it really disappointed me. As the product goes, they’re very creamy and would go perfect underneath lip gloss! It just really let me down how easily they could break, but I mean, for $10 I would definitely recommend them!

Have a nice day! Toodaloo x
