Rimmel Gem Dew Eyes in 02 Deep Amethyst Review

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing the Rimmel Gem Dew Eyes in 02 Deep Amethyst! I have reviewed this eyeshadow in two different colours before

HERE

But today I'm going to be reviewing them in different colours! These eyeshadows were released in Japan last year, and I believe they are only sold in Japan. However I have seen these sold on Ebay as well.

The purple colour is actually a cream eyeshadow

Quick tutorial:
First prime your eyelids (MAC Paint Pot Soft Ocre)

Use the cream eyeshadow all over your lid, and then put the bronze on half of your eyelid

Blend out with a fluffy brush:

Use a pencil brush and a dark brown eyeshadow to line your eyes, create a large wing at the end

Apply the cream eyeshadow on top of the previous eyeshadow

Final Verdict:

I LOVE this eyeshadow! I have used Rimmel eyeshadows before that I have bought in Australia, but to be honest I don't really like them. They aren't very pigmented and the fallout is huge. However I absolutely love this eyeshadow. It's super pigmented so you don't even need to use an eye primer (though I recommmend you do anyway so your eyeshadows can stay on all day). I did get these eyeshadows for free from a makeup company in Japan to try out, I would recommend this palette however it is expensive. It costs 1600yen (Approx $20) in Japan and to be honest, I wouldn't pay that much for a drugstore eyeshadow.

Pros:
- Great pigmentation!
- The colours are all lovely, especially the cream eyeshadow
- Easy to blend together

Cons:
- This one is 1600yen (around $20) for the palette, I'd say that's too expensive.

Rimmel Sweet Chocolate Eyes in 007

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to be reviewing my favourite eyeshadow palette of all time. I seriously have used this palette almost everyday for the past year! It's the Rimmel Sweet Chocolate Eyes in 007. This item I believe is only sold in Japan, not sure if it's all year around but I regret not picking up more colours when I went to Japan this year T_T

The colours are just gorgeous and will go with an everyday look!

Best part is that this palette actually smells like chocolate!

Swatches:

Applying eyeshadow. I already had Urban Decay Primer Potion in Envy on. Since I use this almost everyday, I usually apply with my fingers since I find it easiest to blend (and fastest)

I just love the colours since they make you look so fresh!

Final Verdict:
Hands down, my favourite eyeshadow palette of all time. I never used to like Western brands for makeup since I find they don't work as well as Japanese or Korean makeup. Unfortunately I'm not sure where you can get this outside of Japan.. but perhaps websites that sell Japanese makeup such as imomoko or ichibankao would have them!

Pros:
- Super wearable for everyday
- Very pigmented
- The colours are just all gorgeous!
- Super easy to blend with eachother
- Smells like chocolate!

Cons:
- Hard to get your hands on

Rimmel Gem Dew Eyes 003 Review リンメル ジェムデュウ アイズ

Hi everyone!

I received a set of the Rimmel Gem Dew Eyes eyeshadows from みんなのメイク a few weeks ago and decided to do a review on them~!

Today I'm going to be reviewing #003



These products are now available in Japan I believe, but I'm not sure if they are available outside of Japan or not.


The colours~~
These are from the new autumn collection and the colours are just perfect for autumn!




I especially loved the red in this palette so I decided to do this review first! Also, the red is a cream eyeshadow! Because of the lighting the palettes look different, but they are the same one

Swatches:

The far left one is the cream red eyeshadow, however it looks more brown in the photo because of the lighting.

And a quick tutorial with these eyeshadows. I followed the instructions at the back of the eyeshadows.


Taking the #1 eyeshadow, apply all over your eyelid


#2 all over your eyelid then apply #3 just above your crease a little bit




Take a pencil brush and then use #4, use it to make a thick line, like you are lining your eyes



Take #5 using the sponge tip and then apply this on top of the brown




Final look~



I actually really like this palette a lot! I usually don't do make-up this style, but it is great for going out at night or for dinner parties.

Thoughts:
Pros:
- Great colours for autumn!
- These colours can make great looks for night time
- The cream eyeshadow is a great addition to your look!

Cons:
- The eyeshadows crease quite a bit, even after using primer

Hope you guys enjoyed the review, see you next time!
