Rimmel recommendations?

I am trying to cut back on my spending so it has been a challenge to veer off the luxury brands. However, I recently tried some lip gloss and eyebrow pencil from Rimmel and I'm actually impressed! Any other products you can recommend from this brand?

I love their 'wake me up' foundation and I'm currently using a mascara that I can't recall the name of but its in a gold chunky bottle/tube and I love that too.

Wake me up range is fab! Esp the concealer. Kate moss lipsticks for rimmel are also fabulous my faves are both from the Matt collection as they last all day - 101 (nudy pink) and 107 (deep bluey red) sorry not very technical colour discription lol.

Funny. I was thinking of posting this yesterday.....I bought a wake me up concealer after reading a recommendation here. I binned it after a week. I looked wrecked tired with it. It seemed to create dark furrowed shadows under my eyes. 'Wake me up' my arse. I'm a fan of Rimmel in general but I've gone back to my loreal touch magique.

Their lipsticks are great.

I can't say I care for much else of theirs. Foundations and concealers are always disappointing. As are mascaras. Eyeshadows and blushers have terrible pigmentation and staying power.

Their are other far superior budget brands.

Makeup Revolution
Sleek
Collection

are amazing quality for the price.

Thanks so much for your recommendations! I am currently making a list and adding all your suggestions. Smile I love Sleek too! The palettes are great

I love the Match Perfection 2 in 1 concealer. I tried the Collection 2000 concealer which people had raved on about on here but didn't like it one bit - very thick and cakey. Soon went back to the trusty Rimmel.

Their colour rush lipstick in Drive me Nude is the best nude ive tried. It's fab.

MitzyLeFrouf · 20/05/2015 15:01

I love the East End Snob lip liner.

Glam eyes liquid eyeliner

FreiasBathtub · 20/05/2015 18:21

Love love love their nail polishes. Especially the ones with Lycra. They are the hardest-wearing ones I've found - better than much more expensive brands. And fantastic colour range.

The Lasting Finish concealer in the red pot is excellent - very good coverage and lasting power. I used to use Benefit Boi-ing (£17.50), but I'll be buying the Rimmel Lasting Finish from now on as it works just as well for me.

Fauxlivia · 20/05/2015 19:46

I like their eye pencils - not too hard or too soft. I find the lipsticks a bit drying but the colours are nice so I put vaseline over the top and wear them anyway.
Eye shadow is hit and miss. Nail varnish is good.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 20/05/2015 19:59

I was looking at their BB cream earlier today, looked amazing and a bit more coverage than the Maybelline Dream Fresh I'm using atm.

I've recently discovered the concealer in the red pot, it is AMAZING and so natural under the eyes,great colour and a dupe for Benefit Boing according to the blogs.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 20/05/2015 19:59

Or basically what Ziltoid posted Blush

mowglik · 20/05/2015 20:05

Their wake me up foudbation is fab, I had one that was a shade too light and it's been on my list to replace it

BillyBigchin · 20/05/2015 20:26

Kate Moss 108 lipstick. Best nude lipstick IMO. Got enough pink in it to look natural and not like a mannequin!

thetropicmama7 · 20/05/2015 20:47

This is brilliant! Thank you so much for your suggestions. I am counting the days til payday now then I'm off to Boots and Superdrug Smile
