Rimmel London Colour Rush Trio Eyeshadow 747 Dark Angel Review

This Rimmel Eyeshadow Trio is something I picked up one day while at Wal-Mart looking for an eyeshadow brush. I found both the brush and this product and am pretty happy with the results.

This product has three eyeshadow colors as the name suggests. There is a silver shade, a purple shade, and a really dark grey. They are all sparkly and it comes with an applicator that has two different shape ovals so that you are able to vary how you apply the makeup.

I have not tried the makeup with the applicators. This is for personal reasons. With an eyeshadow brush, the colors vary in intensity by how much you apply. One swipe is noticeable but for more dramatic looks, you need more. However, with a swatch done on my hand, it seems that with the applicators grab more product and look a bit brighter. With the brush it takes about 4 swipes to get the same intensity. On the other hand, I recommend the brush if you want less. The silver is very noticeable. It is very shimmery—the shadow and the tiny sparkles in the shadow as well. This color is a lot more noticeable with less product and is great by itself or paired with the other colors. The purple was a little bit less impressive. It looked more like a rusty purple than a bright purple like in the palette, although this may be attributed to my coloring. On a paper towel, the color was still much darker and not as bright and pretty as in the palette. The grey was about the same in as it was out, excepting the eyeshadow brush which was much lighter, as it expected. I did like this palette. I believe it can be quite a bit better, but for the price which was about $4.50 at Wal-mart, it wasn’t half bad. It lasts almost all day, with a tiny bit of fading, but it isn’t noticeable except to the wearer. It could benefit from an eyeshadow primer, but that aside it is a good product for a good price. I’d definitely buy it again and again.
