Rimmel cosmetics

lip glosses good

eye shadows are ok...not that much pigment in them tho

i like their eyeliners (the no sharpen kind, but not for staying power)

mascaras are not great, i don't like them at all

nail polishes are good too

blush, my favorite is the apricot kind, but the packaging sucks, and i switched to pop cosmetics in the duo. it's a nice peachy shade though.

that's all i have tried from that brand. hth!

I tried their mascara - sucked. I hated the wand. It was a little comb thing. But maybe other kinds are different?

I'm anxious to try the lipglosses I keep seeing advertised.

But they have the BEST eye makeup remover. It's super cheap, lasts forever, and works as well as or better than every other expensive brand I've ever tried.

Metric · Gucci

I agree that the mascara sucks. The polishes are great, blush is good, lip glosses are good. They also have a funky, sparkly cream eyeshadow which is kind of cool but doesn't last long. But cream shadows never last long on me, so maybe its just me.

The lip gloss in snog is awesome! Love it.

I also have a mascara that I would give 4 of 5 stars- it is the extra super lash. Its a great natural mascara- if you like clinique naturally glossy for example. I have long eyelashes that look like spider legs very easily, so i like this. plus it was only $2. The only reason I wouldn't buy again is because I *think* i found my dream mascara. My mom uses it and i borrowed it once. It is almay and in a pale green tube. It is the thickening kind and i like how thick but clump free it is.

NCshopper · Hermes

The mascara is the worst, by far, on the market. They try to reel you in with the $2 price tag and then you come to find out........IT SUCKS! So, don't buy it.

I haven't tried any of their other products though.

lynnie · Chanel

hmm , everyone hates their mascaras

I thought the one I got was awesome for the price! It got a 3.9 on makeupalley and 77% would buy again. Its very natural though- and i hate most mascaras with a passion, so maybe i'm the weird one.

janey831 · Kate Spade

well, in lynnie's defense, if you like the clinique naturally glossy then yes, it goes on a lot like that, but for a lot less. it is just not my preference tho, since my puny little lashes need more oopmh than what the rimmel mascaras can offer.

This is all I use from them so far. I love the color snog! Gives you the best neutral lip!

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I want to try them out one day myself, b/c I've seen some PRETTY colors in the magazines here lately (their lipsticks and lipglosses).

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

Mmm yes.. have tried this brand in the past though not lately. Must say their foundation is pretty good and such a great deal! I have very sensitive combo skin and worked well for me.

Have tried the nail polish -eh.. I still prefer the pricier stuff.

Love the "no sharpen" eyeliner and lipliner - but the one you have to sharpen yourself SUCKS! It melts all over.

And ditto with Lynnie on the SNOG lipgloss. Always runs out at my Walmart so I stock up on 2.

blubirde · Chanel

Well, I caved. I bought the gloss in SNOG and it does rock. Seriously a great color. I also bought the new lip plump thing that's been advertised lately. I didn't like any of the colors so I got the clear gloss one. It works a bit like Lip Venom, imo. It stings a bit and then my lips looked fuller and glossier. If nothing else, the gloss is pretty cool and cheap. Definitely worth the buy.

And Ulta has $1 coupons around the store for Rimmel lip products right now.

Is the Snog lip gloss new or has it always been out?

sage · Dooney & Bourke

Because of all the raves, I bought Snog today. I like it !! A great neutral!! I didn't see the lip plumber bluebirde mentioned but I will look for that next time. Thanks everyone for the great suggestion!!

The Lip Plumper was on its own endcap, in the same aisle as the Rimmel but not on the shelf with them. I guess because it's new and it's special, like they do with the special "fall colors" or whatever.

I want to buy a bunch of Snogs and just keep them in places I frequent a lot - my coffee table, my desk at work, my car, my purses, my bathroom, my dresser, etc.

janey831 · Kate Spade

blubirde is r ight!! you guys are driving me crazy....you're making me want to try snog like crazy ( i've only tried east end snob and cosmic)

nunzi182 · Kate Spade

Well, I bought Snog too and I love it! I usually have a hard time finding a good color with my pale, pasty complexion, but I think t his would look good on everyone!

janey831 · Kate Spade

i must say, the snog lipgloss is amazing! not at all what it looks like in the tube. and it really does give a very pretty neutral lip...
