Rimmel London, a new addition to Malaysia Drugstore Makeup! I’ve heard that Rimmel London was here in Malaysia before but for some reason they discontinued. I wasn’t residing in Malaysia back then so I don’t have a clue about that time. Regardless, I’m glad that Rimmel is now in Malaysia, in fact, with a bang!
Earlier February I had the privilege to attend the launch preview event of Rimmel Malaysia. The official launch party is scheduled coming 15th march. Unfortunately, won’t be joining Rimmel this time due to some pre-fixed task. [Apology again, Rimmel London Malaysia, if you’re reading this article].
Although the official celebration is happening just now, Rimmel stepped into Malaysia end of last year. They were just silently setting up to sail for the big adventure!
You must have noticed Rimmel makeup shelves at Watson’s, don’t you?
In case you didn’t know,
– Hello love, I’m here to share 🙂
No no, I won’t get into drama but thought to share some general information; e.g. Rimmel Malaysia price list and a bit of my taste on them. Frankly, I’m excited about Rimmel.
There is a reason I’m excited about getting Rimmel available in Kuala Lumpur. First of all, Rimmel is totally my type of makeup brand. Apart from a few (plus another one now), Malaysian drugstore makeup brands ad I walk in a parallel line.
Rimmel London Foundations:
I started getting to know Rimmel Makeup back in my university days (’10) in the UK. Since then Rimmel 25 Hour Longlasting Foundation was my favorite for a really long time. I use to love the coverage of it and how it feels on the skin.
Later on, I tried the Rimel Stay Matte Mousse foundation. That got hyped right after the release. But as far as I can remember Stay Matte Mousse didn’t work well with my skin (it was more on the dry side).
Needless to mention about Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder. This powder was ever since a ‘drugstore cult beauty favorite’ and mine too.
To complete the complexion need there is also Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and Concealer. Suitable for those who like sheer and natural makeup. I haven’t tried this range earlier. It’s sad that even if want to it, can’t. The shade range doesn’t cater to my tan-skin (ref: MAC NC42, MUFE Y425, ELDW 4W2) shade.

When it’s about Rimmel London, I mostly attracted to their face makeup product. However, the variety of eyeshadow palettes looked pretty decent.

Not only eyeshadow palettes, I like the selection of Rimmel eyeliner, but mascara and brow products are also available in Kuala Lumpur from now on.

This Saturday I paid a visit to Watson’s 1Utama to check how is the Rimmel store display. The range of Rimmel product is quite significant, spotted everything I was looking for along with a lot of new stuff. The price range of Rimmel makeups felt pretty reasonable to me. Not to forget, Watson’s always having some kind of price cuts! Erks!
I spotted (and bought right away)Lasting Finish 24hr Concealer at the store. I can’t recall it trying from the past. Didn’t even notice that in the Rimmel Malaysia preview event. Considering how I like the foundation, the concealer was a must try.
Did you notice that I mentioned about makeup setting spray above?
In my calculation, Rimmel makeup setting spray seems to be the cheapest (not sure about Wet n Wild makeup setting spray. That is probably priced same or slightly less). The setting spray is also waiting to be tried and tested by yours truly 😉
I’m hoping these new Rimmel makeup product won’t do any silly drama with me! I shall update you with a review post.
