Rimmel London 3 in 1 BB Cream

Last week at The Warehouse they had 25% off cosmetics so I decided ugh I'm sick of wearing foundation I'll give another BB Cream a go, I had heard good reviews on this particular one.

Got home slapped it on with my fingers and I stunned. It had better coverage than my foundation!! I go between Moisture Mist Beauty Cake (which I am NOT loving and ELF Flawless Foundation) I was blown away!

Such a simple thin little tube of this could create a more flawless look than BEAUTY CAKE!! Holy cow batman!

So I wore it round home, just fingers application and it was doing so well , no separating or oilyness! Yes I know!!

Then I tried it, on a day out , this time with my flat top foundation brush, I think I applied a little too much , but who doesn't love a perfect , flawless cake face?? I know I love flawless. I could NOT stop looking at my face!! It's matte but still has a slight dewy finish.

I did not even have to apply powder... I actually think this might be my holy grail product from now on. BLOWN AWAY!

After Garnier's BB Creams I held dislike for BB Creams. But this one!

I wore moisturiser under mine, I don't think you could wear them without it, I did without moisturiser the first time and it was a little stiff to blend. Once the formula dries it does not budge.

I am so happy I tried this product now, I may not ever go back to regular foundation.

I found the colour good as well I purchased light. I need products with a yellow tone to them and this was perfect.

I have super fair skin and purchased the lightest shade of this BB cream. Swatched and applied to the face this looked as though it would be a good match for me. Unfortunately however this like many other products oxidised to an orange/brown on me so have given it to my sister to try. In terms of coverage this performed pretty well for BB cream and blended out quite evenly. I didn't have any problems with oil breakthrough. This simply did not suit my skin tone.

Just purchased this a week ago and I am very pleased with the results its easy to apply not thick gives me a natural look as I am freckled all over my face love this as I can wear it alone my face after I have used it feels soft, and no redness . Very happy

Don't get me wrong, the Rimmel 9 in 1 BB Cream does do its job. The problems I have with it are 1) the shades are very general, so initially it's very difficult to tell which shade you are. Since I have a tan/olive complexion, it makes colour-matching difficult, especially when the shades are that general. I have the medium/dark BB cream, which is not too bad, though maybe a bit dark for me. The main problem is the red pigment in the BB cream sometimes separates from the rest of the tones, leaving a slight red smear, almost like I've applied a light blush to my skin, which is annoying to fix. The product is also a bit too thick or maybe just a bit sticky, making blending it in a little hard, especially when using other products with it.

All in all, it does work to a basic extent, but is not an ideal BB cream.

I purchased this because i use the foundation in this collection and love it. Lucky this was half price because i was a little disappointed. I have it in the light shade but it comes off very yellow and quite matte on my skin. This would be better suited for someone with oily skin who loves a good matte BB.

Going to get straight to the point with this one as it's orangey and no one wants that! There's nothing more disappointing when you get new a BB cream or foundation than to find that it has an orangey pigment to it.. The shade I got this BB cream in is medium.. Perhaps the light shade doesn't have that problem? I don't know, but I can manage to make this BB cream work, by buffing lashings of translucent powder over top of it. I can actually get it looking quite nice by doing this, as there's nothing wrong with the consistency of the BB cream, it applies nicely and smoothes the appearance of my skin as any BB cream should.

Another way I can make use of it is using it as a primer for a foundation that's a tad light.. If you're like me and always trying different foundations, you might end up with some that are too light, some that are too dark.. In this case you might find this BB cream usable as a primer to balance out a foundation that's a bit light for your skin tone.

Although i've managed to make use of this BB cream, I'd have to strongly advise against anyone considering purchasing it!

I picked up the light to try at a makeup sale to give it a whirl. It's similar thickness to my garnier bbcream but maybe a tad thicker, I didn't like the smell and although light works for me in most items I found this way too dark. I gave it tyo my mum to try on who is much much tanner than me and it suited her perfectly! Coverage wasnt very good also.

I love my BB creams and love to explore new ones but this one was really a disappointment. This product dries too fast and made application very difficult. It dried almost instantly leaving my face looking cakey and blotchy which a BB cream shouldn't. I bought the lightest shade and even then it was too dark for me. Over all this product left me feeling unsatisfied.

I would usually choose a med shade in bb creams but this was far to dark for me, product was super oily and patchy and didn't last the whole day. wouldn't recommend for anyone with oily or oily combo skin!

This BB cream gives better coverage than most BB creams I have tried, and I love that it is SPF 25. However, it does make my skin break out and for that reason I save it for special occasions rather than everyday use.
