I like Rimmel eyeshadows, I don’t love them, I like them. I think that generally they are good value and have more than a few of the palettes and trios.
I never normally buy the single, mono eyeshadows, mostly because the one time I did it was a spearmint green and the pay off was poor. However while in Superdrug last week I spied a beautiful shiny coppery bronze, one of the new Colour Rush offerings, 060 Bronzed.
I nearly discounted even swatching it, I was convinced the beautiful shimmer top was simply that, a topping, and that once swatched the shadow below would be matte & bland.
I was wrong, as soon as I saw it on the back of my hand I instantly knew it was a winner. The consistency also seemed very velvety. I’m not 100% sure how much it was as I can’t find the receipt. I think they are about £3.50 normally, my Superdrug was running a £1 off promotion.
I wore it on Saturday night, I used my 239 brush and hardly needed any product. Finish wise it reminds me of a MAC veluxe pearl, think woodwinked.
The colour itself though is a true bronze, its everything I ever wanted MAC Bronze to be but wasn’t, I can now safely say I love a Rimmel eyeshadow. The price truly is a bargain, if this was in a MAC pan I’d have paid £10 for it in a flash and balked at anyone who suggested it was a Rimmel special!

If you love your pearl finish, warm neutrals and a shadow that takes little effort you really should pick this up next time you pass a Rimmel stand. It’s loose change for a super e/s.
