I'd been interested in trying BB creams ever since I first heard about them - in an article in a Korean magazine, extolling the virtues of "blemish balm" cream, ported from the world of post-plastic surgery treatment to the faces of young, beautiful, squeaking, cheering popstars. I had been saving my money for a bona fide Korean brand, closest to the cream's clinical heritage, but, when I noticed this cream for under £5 in a pound store, I knew I had to try it out. =Initial Impressions= Rimmel BB cream comes in a 30ml skin-tone squeezy bottle, with, I'm afraid, a slightly cheap look; from the packaging alone, this could be a Collection ...  Read the complete review

I bought this cream after realising it was taking me a good 15 minutes just to moisturise, prime, highlight, conceal etc each morning. So I wanted something that could do it in 2. The Packaging This is not what I normally would expect from Rimmel. It looks kind of cheap and tacky as if it was a cheap tinted moisturiser from another brand. I would also much prefer a pump or even just a finer nib. The Features This is meant to have 9 features, which are: Primes Moisturises Conceals Covers Smoothes Mattifies Brightens Help Protects Even though all of these sound great some of these just ...  Read the complete review

My skin isn't in great condition so I need a really good foundation to give my skin a flawless, healthy glow. I was recommended a while ago to try one of the BB creams that were fast becoming the latest make-up must have and so I used a Garnier one and loved it. The only problem with this one is that it is quite expensive and so the last time I was in the market for a BB cream, I decided to shop around and the Rimmel one seemed to offer the best value for money so I decided to give it a go. This one currently retails at £6.99 which is a good few pounds lower than most well-known brands which tend to sell their BB creams at around the £10.00 mark. It is ...  Read the complete review

B.B. Creams launched in the UK not long ago, amid a flurry of media buzz and lots of hype regarding their miraculous benefits. There are loads of different varieties available now, and I have yet to find one that actually suits my skin type. I found a sample of this Rimmel B.B. Cream attached to an advertising page in one of the fashion magazines I read, and have been trying it out over the past week. The full size version of the product costs RRP £6.99 for a 30ml bottle and comes in 2 shades, Light or Medium. Product description: "It's a skin perfecting super make-up! 9-in-1 results. Primes, Moisturises, Minimises Pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, ...  Read the complete review

I've been enjoying using a few brands of BB foundation cream recently but didn't like the prices of them so decided to try one on the market that was cheaper. The Rimmel BB Cream which is advertised as 'Skin Perfecting Super Make up' with 9 in 1 formula. Why BB? The reason I like BB creams is that they seem to be a halfway house with moisturiser and foundation and they are smooth and soft on the skin without caking it up like some foundations seem to do. What are the 9 things? Primer Moisturiser Pore minimiser Concealer Cover up Smoothes Mattifies Brightens Helps perfect I think the last ...  Read the complete review
