Edited to add: I've found 012 Mocha in my local Superdrug, so added some more pictures. I will let you know how they wear when I've used them.
Anyone's used them? Like them, love them, hate them?
See some pictures...

Rimmel Colour Mousse cream eyeshadow review
I purchased three of these eyeshadows for £4.99 each (2 for 3 offer in Boots) and I have to say I'm pretty happy with them. I bought a couple of the new Estee Lauder cream eyeshadows (blue and purple), but at £15 a pop I didn't feel like buying the beige and brown colours as well. But when I saw these shadows in Boots (especially the brown shade, Mocha caught my eye, which I couldn't buy as they only had some that were already open - hey guys, use testers!), I decided to pick some up. I especially like 006 Get Fresh, a nice light pink shade and 005 Glitz a beige/sandy shade, and while 004 Splash is nice too, it's the least pigmented. They are very soft and glide on nicely, but I can't tell you how longlasting and crease proof they are as i haven't worn them yet. They do claim to last for 8 hours though, so we shall see.

I've never tried mousse eyeshadows, I don't think they would last too long, or they would be too thick for the eyes. But the swatches look great. Keep us updated on how they perform!!
ReplyDelete@O.M.A. They are definitely not heavy, in fact very light, more like whipped cream. :p
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, but I found they can dry up very quickly. Mermaid dried up before I could use any of it, and Sassy dried up extremely quickly too, despite the lid being screwed on tight as soon as I had removed product from the jar to use. I only managed to get a few uses out of it before it was useless.
ReplyDeleteReally? Mine are still fine. Maybe you got a bad batch?
DeleteI took Mermaid back to the shop and they checked in the drawer to get me a new one (the rest on the display had been opened). I got them to check it before I took it away, and that was dried up too. It could have been a bad batch, I suppose.
DeleteI revived Sassy with MAC Mixing Medium, but it wasn't long before it dried out again.
