This gorgeous looking 5 set of eyeshadows came in the March Beauty Box and as I have been a fan of Rimmel for years! I was more than overjoyed to see this little package in there.
The Rimmel Glam'Eyes HD Eyeshadow palette consists of 5 shade of browns that are of compacted powder formula. Application wise I found that these were easy to use but didn't have the power or pigmentation to really do stand out looks. For the price range though if you were to add a primer underneath to extend the life span then these are great starters for teens as you can't really overdo the colour. For me as there is that lack of wow factor and the colours are rather chalky, I don't think I would be using it again, or purchasing any other set from this collection under Rimmel which is a shame as the lip and mascara products are amazing.
Colour variety inside Brixton Brown consists of a beige tan colour that has a slight shimmer effect in the pan but is lost on the lid, a dark brown which appears to be matte, a more muted brown which again is more matte in appearance, brown toned red that is the most pigmented of all 5 colours and a very light brown almost creamy coloured with a hint of shimmer. It just lets me down, perhaps I am spoilt by some of my other eyeshadows that are on the market for similar prices that have more impact on the lids.
This palette came in the March Beauty Box. Ít's not really colours I'd buy myself, but I was game to give it a go and see if I like it. I actually do like the shadows, and don't hate the colours, but don't wear them often enough to make it worthwhile for me and so will be handing it on to my Mum. I've given them a fair trial though and have a positive opinion of the product.
This Rimmel Glam Eyes HD Eyeshadow Palette is a 5 colour collection under the name 'Brixton Brown'.
The 5 colours are a dark brown, a milkier çhocolate'brown, a lighter dark taupe shade, a very shimmery creamy tan and a deep rust red. Of the 5, I love the shimmery creamy tan colour and tend to use that in my inner eye with the taupe on the lid and the darker browns on the outer edge and under my outer lower lashes. It does create a pretty, neutral brown eye look. The rusty red is a cute little pop of a different shade. All shades feature a degree of reflective particles or shimmer, meaning the light will (and does) hit them nicely to create a soft, shimmery effect, particularly if they are blended well.
These last well through my long day, especially if I use a primer. I've actally received compliments on looks I have created using them, and as I said I do *like* the shades, and really like the formula of the shadow, but it's one I'm content to hand on to someone I think will use it more.
Thanks for the opportunity to give it a go though BR x
