What product Claim?

Rimmel Colour Mousse Eye Shadow delivers glistening high impact colour for up to 8 hours.

My Thoughts:

I am here today with another cream eye shadow - Mocha from Rimmel London – a very pretty chocolate brown shade with copper undertones. Highly recommended for Indian beauties and would suit all skin tones. 

It is very sparkly and beautiful colour which is best for evening parties or night out. Cream eye shadows are a quick way of injecting shimmer into a basic make-up look, and have a good consistency which makes them really easy to blend quickly with your finger or eye shadow brush.

 I prefer my finger to spread evenly on lids. It is multifunctional - can wear on its own or as a base for your powered eye shadows. Pigmentation is superb. It doesn’t dry quickly thereby giving enough time to spread evenly on lids. Gives a semi-matte finish and lasts for 8 hours as claimed without creasing or fading. 

Packaging: 

 It comes in a pretty solid glass jar which is transparent with screw-off lid. It is very light-weight, small and sturdy; will fit easily in the bag while travelling. From the transparent part you can easily view the colour and on black lid it has a label that matches the colour of product to easily identify if you have few of them. 

The Big Label also has product name and number and below the transparent part there is white sticker shows the quantity. There is an additional small pressed lid when you open the product which makes it safe from leak. 

Staying Power: 

Must say staying power is superb as per claim (8 hours without creasing or tugging).

Texture: 

It is very creamy and buttery in texture. Pigmentation is nice as a single swipe builds up the colour on the lids. It is very soft and smooth and glides smoothly on the eyes. For oily lids it starts slight creasing after 4 or 5 hours of wear as there were some noticeable fading and patchiness.

 I would recommend using powder/primer before applying this cream based eye shadow to hold the colour in place on the eyelid. It looks sparkly but metallic sheen is very soft and subtle making it quite wearable and would work beautifully for Indian skin tones. It goes perfectly with both Indian and western attires.

EOTD created Smokey Look with black and this one.

Overall Rating:  4/5

Final Verdict: 

It is a brilliant, affordable, long lasting product and love the way it glides onto my eyelids. Would suit all skin tones and perfect for spring or summer. It gives a metallic sheen to the eyes which is very subtle n soft and makes your eyes look very gorgeous and stunning. It looks really pretty on its own all over the lid or create Smokey look as well. It is good value for money and very easy to put on as small amount is enough to blend out nicely. You should have at least one in your vanity.
