Rimmel has come up with these gel eye liners recently and I picked up 2 shades. Here is the review on the shade 004 Blue. Read on to know how it fared for me.
Price – Rs 570/- for 2.4gm
My Experience with Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Gel Eyeliner 004 Blue:
The packaging is like the regular gel eyeliner tub packaging with a brush. The outer paper carton has a unique shape and has all the details about the product. The good thing is that the tub is plastic and not glass. The brush that comes along is of good quality and does not shed bristles.
The texture is dry and slightly gritty. It is difficult to pick the amount of product required due to the texture of the liner. the pigmentation is medium to buildable. Minimum of 2 swipes are required to get the full on vibrancy of the shade.
The shade is a pretty blue, not too bright and not too dull. It can be worn without looking OTT. I like to pair it with pinks, both on the lips and cheek. Most of the times the lower lash line is left bare for the beautiful blue to take the spotlight.
The staying power is long. As it is slightly on the drier side, once set, the liner remains on the lid for a minimum of 5 hours. Due to the gritty texture I did not apply it on the waterline, so will not comment on the staying power on waterline. Overall I am slightly disappointed with the texture as it is not very cheap, but the pretty shade and the long staying power makes up for the cons to a huge extent.
