Rimmel Glam'Eyes HD 5 Eyeshadow Palette's
Hey guys and girls, its been a while I know but I have been rather busy with my personal life and two new things in are my baby twin niece Emily & Hatti, they are just the most adorable things ever and their big brother George is very protective! Anyways enough babbling about my life, today's blog post is on Rimmel's Glam'Eyes HD 5 Eyeshadow Palette's.
I have only got two out of the four colours in the range and are called Brixton Brown & Pinkadilly Circus, the other two in the range that I don't have are Golden Eye & Foggy Grey.
As you can see below the packaging is not exactly luxury but it not worst packaging ive ever saw in the make-up industry!
024 Pinkadilly Circus
022 Brixton Brown
On further inspection of the eyeshadows I discovered that the formulation was very hard, which meant when you touched them you got hardly any pay off, but if you rubbed a small layer off the top of the eyeshadows you got the pay off that you would expect from drug store make-up. Don't expect these to be like MAC, Illamasqua or higher end make-up brands as they do have fall out and will rub off easily.
Above you can see the colours in the palette's more clearly, they come with the usual foam applicators, my advice on these applicators is to throw them straight into the bin, as they are rarely any good, you can not get good precision results with them and they harbour so much bacteria over time that can cause a multitude of infections, I seriously feel we are still in the 80's with these applicators, come on Rimmel and similar brands, either leave this disgusting things out or put in a decent brush!!!
In the pictures below I have swatched all the colours in each palette for you, once without an eyeshadow primer and once with an eyeshadow primer. The results where drastic with the lighter colours, with out the primer I could hardly see the lighter eyeshadows at all but with the primer you could see them very well and it helped the darker eyeshadows appear more full.
My verdict on these is, if you are on a budget and don't want to spend alot on make-up then yes this would be an option for you, as long as you got an eyeshadow base/primer to put on before you apply the eyeshadow on top but if you had some money to spare and are willing to pay a bit more there are alot more better brands out there that provide better quality, some even drugstore products!
These palettes are priced at £6.99 and can be purchased from Boots, Superdrug and most drugstores on the high street!
Thank you so much for reading my blog post and I hope to speak to you guys and gals soon!
