Rimmel Glosses

The Bed Bath & Beyond in my area had a 50% off sale on all Rimmel products. The shelves were pretty much picked clean except for a few items. I pretty much grabbed the last of the Vinyl Glosses and the last Shock Gloss. Other than that, there were literally two nail polishes, about five foundations, and three eye shadows remaining. As I said, picked clean.

However, I was able to find some items that I liked. They are listed as shown in the picture, top to bottom:

• Vinyl Gloss in "Delirious"
• Vinyl Gloss in "MMMM"
• Shock Gloss in "Indecent"
• Kiss Off Lip Lacquer in "Wild at Heart"

I LOVE the Vinyl Glosses and I am pretty sure these two shades have been discontinued, at least in the U.S. This was my first time trying the Shock Gloss and Kiss Off gloss.


Now, swatches:


From left to right: Wild at Heart, Indecent, MMMM!, and Delirious

Wild at Heart and Indecent do not provide a lot of color payoff. They mostly function to produce shine. The formula for Wild at Heart was a bit thinner than what I was expecting. I wasn't going to get it at first because it was loaded with shimmer and I thought it would be far too loud for my tastes. On the lips, however, it turned out to be quite subtle and wearable, like a bright sheer lip tint. The shimmer is noticeable but not so over-the-top that it can't be used as a daily gloss (just not for work, hehe). If you are looking for a very bold outcome, this gloss might disappoint unless you wear it over a complimentary lipstick.

Indecent is supposed to provide a 3D shine effect, and I would say that it does quite well. The odd orange tint actually shows up a bit on the lips, but in a good way. I felt that it enhanced my lip tone and provided a nice patent shine. The formula is a bit thick and goopy, and it smells ever so faintly like DooWop Lip Venom, which leads me to think they added some plumping ingredients as well. The applicator is one of the flat, plastic spatulas similar to the applicator for the Tokidoki glosses. Once you get used to it, I think it works quite well and it is much easier to clean off than a brush or sponge tip.

MMMM! is a lovely neutral shade. The formula is light and smooth and not at all sticky (for me). It comes off as a pinky-brown nude. There is the slightest of shimmer visible in the tube, but the color comes off wonderfully opaque and creamy on lips with no shimmer. This is a new favorite. :-)

Delirious is a pretty wine shade with soft shimmer. It looks absolutely lovely on lips. I think it is a color that can work for all occasions if you want a deeper tone to your lips without lipstick. It is also a perfect Fall shade for me.


Here ends my first review on Rimmel lip glosses. I look forward to enjoying these shades in the coming weeks. If you have these or any other Rimmel glosses, let me know what you think.

Later!
