I bought 2 of the Rimmel Wonder'Last Shadow Sticks. After using cleanser, having 2 showers and many hand washes to get rid of the small swatches I did on my hand, they still didn't come off! I am so glad I didn't try on my eyelids. Threw them away :(
I purchased 2 Rimmel products in Australia today. - Lasting Finish Exaggerate lipliner and Brow Pro Micro The products looked good, however... I will not be purchasing either again due to being unable to completely remove the vacuum sealed plastic packaging and labeling,. The parts l did manage to get off after at least 15 minutes of trying,… Read more
using various means, left unremovable sticky residue over the length of the pencils, that feels revolting. I always look for cruelty free products but l will not be purchasing again due to the degree of difficulty in trying to remove the unnecessary extensive plastic packaging. You can do better
Poor quality lipstick – Rommel rep was in store when I went to purchase a lipstick. Took advantage of her knowledge and decided to try a new brand. Absolute rubbish - 1 week old and it’s snapped at the bases! Won’t be buying this again

Rimmel 715 Cool Nude – Not happy with this lipstick as looks nude on outside but the shade is more pulm colour than nude. Not happy with this lipstick should be nude colour
Where is the actual mascara? – Brought today. See docket. Today's date 17th. Extra long lash Rimmel mascara. After repeatedly pushing and pulling the brush to gain mascara onto the brush. It would only eventually be on the very end tip of the brush. I spread brush on my hand and no mascara, except for the tip. Which is hardly suitable for using the mascara brush onto… Read more
eyelashes. With no mascara therefore on the eyelashes. It didn't work normally so thought working mascara along brush, by pushing in the plunger. And out again. Still no mascara on brush. Is it too old?. Too thick to spread evenly on brush I wonder to myself. Whatever, it's not cheap even at half price if you cannot use it. I brought it 3 hr round trip so hardly going to travel to return it. Just letting you know if you're looking to buy mascara. I wouldn't choose this particular brand. Packet says 8ml. Perhaps it's all stuck solid in the bottom of the tube! It's certainly not coming out onto the brush.

Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation – IV been using Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation Longtime it's The Best But for some reason It is Now A task to get it it's Unobtainable in Boots Superdrug and most leading places . And I AV to travel & Search for it now Yet it is the Best....Very Disappointed indeed~ ..Why Discontinue a Product That Sold Like Hotcakes just mad Put it Back
Great coverage at half the price – Great coverage foundation, not oily and long lasting with a good colour range. I’d prefer it better to the more expensive brands at half the price
Best day to night mascara I have come across – I have been using the Rimmel glam eyes day 2 night mascara for some time and have found this is the best mascara I have come across for the price. It has two sections that the brush passes through, one for day time and the other for a night time look. I use the night time look all the time as it extends my lash length and really thickens them up. … Read more
I often get asked if I am wearing false lashes which I take as a compliment. It's non clumpy and is a good product. It's my go to mascara and I have no desire to change it.
Negative reviews
Rimmel disgusting customer service. Non functioning eyeliners – Rimmel Scandal'eyes waterproof Kohl pencil do not allow for sharpening. Purchased my third pencil which has casing thick like hard plastic which will not be sharpened by any sharpener! Used same product for many years. Reached out to customer service but they repeatedly explain how to sharpen the product not acknowledging I've told them I've… Read more
sharpened the same product for years. I don't have a receipt but they're clearly no one else's product but Rimmels! Three pencils which are blunt and useless. $10/ pencil credit note and apology seem like negligible amount to keep a loyal customer happy.
Rimmel will you reach out with assistance? I've tried you 3 times, each time I was shocked at how much disregard you had!
Anyone else had this issue? If you changed to another product, which was it?
Newest Rommel mascara – I purchased the latest mascara by Rimmel. Ver disappointed. I used Rimmel mascara for years. Use to buy always the classic one and it was good. Thought to give a go with a latest red tube one but it is terrible. After 10 minutes of having the mascara on all lushes its crumbles and leaves big dark circles under eyes. Also it’s rather hard to put on lashes. Not good at all Waste of money. Ann
Quality is not good, not worth to spend money – I bought a Rimmel face powder from Centrepoint, till the time I reached home and opened it was already broken, not satisfied with the quality

Racist advertising – I just saw the add was shocked when they said Rimmel London, I would have thought Africa. It's joining our extensive boycott list because I'm not African and don't appreciate tokens.

Badly designed product – I purchased a Brow & Beard clear pencil in order to set my eyebrows for the day, once I have made them up. I can honestly this product doe's exactly what it is intended for and I can highly recommend it. HOWEVER, some bright spark in Rimmel's design department has made a pencil where the diameter of the shaft does not comply with ANY sharpener… Read more
you are able to purchaser. What about using a sharp knife etc, I hear you say, and unfortunately there is a slight problem there too. The wax content inside of the pencil is so soft that sharpening it this way destroys the content itself. What a great shame because I would love to recommend it, but it's just not practical.
The after sale service is shocking – Had a reaction to Rimmel Lasting Radiance Foundation. Contacted the company who requested a full A4 page worth of questions answered plus multiple photos of receipt, etc. Hopeless and unhelpful.
Brow pencil needs sharpener – I have been using your Pomade Brow Pencil which I am very happy with. My ptoblem is the lead has worn down and I find it impossible to sharpen. It is proving a very expensive item.
Upset and would rate more if this product is brought back – I have recently heard that you have stopped making wake me up 303 rimmel foundation. I bought the new one to try and it is completely a different colour . I have been searching all local shops and chemists trying to stock up to no avail. Why did you stop making something so popular not only for me but for many. Lots of times I’d have to try few different stores cause it was sold out . From very very disappointed I hope you bring back .
rimmel lipstick – Waste of money. Feels like glue and smells like bubble gum. Worst lipstick ever tried. Would not last on lips more than 5 mins. Absolute rip off. It's called long lasting, what rubbish.
Wrapping very cheap & sticky on mascara/eye brow pencil – Removing the wrapper is very difficult & items are left sticly & tacky looking with black sticky marks from tape. Touching the items with hands feels horrible. Not impressed at all.
Products dried upon purchase – Bought 3 mascaras, from different supermarkets, at different times. All 3 have been all but dried out. Customer service aren't interested without a receipt which I explained was a part of a big shop and they don't often give receipts anymore, so no refund for me or my trouble. Waste of near $50. Save yourself the trouble. Have learned my lesson on Rimmel products.
Orange foundation - who the hell wears this? – It doesnt look particularly orange in the bottle, and I chose the true ivory, but it's more orange than a mandarin. Utterly useless, I will throw it in the bin now.
Rimmel Lipsticks just don't work – Purchased my new supply of lipsticks in Rimmel brand for the first time recently. Will not stay on lips, cannot have a drink ,eat or kiss without it smudging and disappearing. Will be going back to my previous brands like Revlon and Loreal Paris are much better quality and value for money.

Good products but no seals – Love rimmel products but have just bought 4 more online only to find that they are all unsealed. This is really unnerving as now I don't know if they have been tested by someone else or tampered with. Wont buy again.
Shocking Super Gel nail polish – I bought Sper Gel nail polish, colour Perfect Risy plus the Super Gel top coat. The nail polish goes on leaving streaks. The next coat leaves more steaks in the under coat even after a long period between applications. Wait a few hours and apply the top coat and one is able to wipe all coats with a tissue. Everything is dissolved. The brush in th… Read more
top coat separates and sticks in all directions. Nasty product. A wast of money. I will not be buying their nail products again.
Great products for cheap price – I have always leaned towards exapensive brands but since someone suggested a rimmel foundation to me I have not gone back. The BB cream is light but gives you a better coverage then others I have used before. I find their products tend to stay on longer and eyeliner was just as good as a $55 one I had purchased.
You get what you pay for :/ – Gel eyeliner is horrible to apply- using a brush, it becomes very thick and clumpy just from taking a tiny amount out of the pot. Removing it is also a nightmare- it smudges everywhere. Brow this way- styling gel with argan oil has a slightly watery consistency- and ends up clumping hairs together, it’s such a mess to use. Super curler 24… Read more
mascara applies clumpy, smells really strongly of chemicals and becomes smudgey after just a few hours. It is also impossible to remove from the skin once it’s smudged.
Grrrrrr – having tried the Rimmel gel nail polish in red and being happy with it, I decided to buy another colour, big mistake, Bare Hug, the name of the colour is just awful, will not apply smoothly, has fibres / hair like threads coming off the brush, the polish itself is very thick and may be the reason why it cannot be applied smoothly. To top it off, a call to the company has been ignored! Good company to avoid!
best drugstore brand – i have a few makeup products of this brand. I love that most of the entire range serves my makeup needs well without hurting my pocket
Not gonna buy this product again – I bought mascara and eye definer coz it says on the package waterproof and smudge free. Its not true! The only thing I can say is never buy this or reccomend this product to anyone.
Provocalips 16hr kiss proof lipstick – I absolutely love Rimmel's products and have never had a problem with anything I buy from them...except this one product that I have listed above. It is meant to be a 2 step process, having a liquid lipstick on one end and a clear lipgloss on the other. I was absolutely horrified by the outcome with this product. Its impossible to wear this… Read more
lipstick alone without the lipgloss because the formula is so tacky it feels like I have applied glue to my lips. The gloss was disgusting, it was clumpy and had a nauseating perfumed smell to it. The clear gloss started to go dirty because of the lipstick remaining on the wand. I was however impressed with the lasting power for this lipstick, however if kept on for after 6 hours it starts to crack/peel and the color starts fading. It's very tough to remove off the lips at the end of the day which results in me having to remove with a chapstick. I think that this product would have been better IF the lipstick formula was less sticky and the lipgloss being less clumpy and perfumey. Will not be repurchasing this product however I am happy with the other Rimmel products that I have purchased...
Lipstick-yuk! – I purchased a Rimmel lipstick- 500 revolution red.It was covered with a huge price sticker and when I peeled it off it is covered in a sticky mess.The smell of the lipstick is awful and it is sticky and drying at the same time.Do not buy!
I am so impressed omg – Hey so I bought this waterproof mascara and it is bloody awesome. I have been crying for 4 hours straight and rubbed my eyes and it is still so intact and none of it has run or came off. Thanks for having a legit waterproof mascara.
Not great lipsticks – I bought the Rimmel lipstick from the kate moss line and I was not satisfied. It has a very strong artifical smell, it doesn't smell fruity or flavored in any way, it just smells like that chemical lipstick smell and it is so strong. When I put it on thats all i could focus on. The other problem I have with them is that I don't think the color is… Read more
true to swatch. I bought one that, on my hand, looked like a medium brownish/pink. When I put it on to wear it was a greyish brown and very unflattering. I will be returning this product to the store.
