♡ RIMMEL LONDON SMOKEY EYE ♡

I still haven't stuck to my post-a-day promise! Arghhh. Working full time is hard. But i'm definitely getting back into the swing of things. I thought I'd show one of my winter night-time favourite looks, a lovely smokey eye and nude lip. I recently picked up an adorable little palette from Rimmel, so I decided to give it a whirl.



So, I picked up this lovely Rimmel London Glam'Eyes quad palette in 'Beauty Spells'. It contains 4 beautiful shades - a chrome silver shimmer, a lavender toned purple with silver shimmer, a black with silver flecks, and an almost matte mauve-taupe. The colours compliment each other perfectly.



I used all 4 colours to create an evening smokey eye. I used the lavender colour all over my lid, and blended the mauve-taupe into the crease. I then used the black on the outer crease, and took it down onto my lower lash line. I lastly used the silver lightly on my browbone and my inner tearduct. The result was a lovely, shimmery smokey eye which I have been loving for night time!

I wore this eye for about 6+ hours, and it lasted the length of my night out. I found absolutely no creasing throughout the night, and everything stayed put (this is without an eye primer!). The shadows aren't massively pigmented, but they give good enough colour pay off to work with. You can always build up the colour for a more intense or dramatic look. They all blended effortlessly and looked very silky and smooth on the lid. I believe this palette retails for about £6.99, so it's very affordable for a 4 colour palette. All in all, a wonderful product. I'm definitely going to look into the other colours available in the line.
