Rimmel Oh My Gloss! Review

I was in Boots the other day, swatching their Moisture Renew Lipstick in ‘Back To The Fuscia’ having seen it recommended when I noticed something I’d not seen before on the bottom shelf of the stand. Rimmel have launched a new line, in the form of their ‘Oh My Gloss!’  lip glosses. So I thought I would share a Rimmel Oh My Gloss review with you all!

The sales associate I spoke to was lovely. You may know that I have a LOT of allergies. Boots hadn’t received the ingredients card for these lip glosses yet & she went out of her way to help me. I have found that, even after checking ingredients, I can have a reaction so I chose to just pick up one of these glosses – I can always go back for more, right!?

There are 10 shades in this line & I chose ‘Stay My Rose’. There were no testers, so I went on guess work for this choice & regret it. While there is nothing wrong with this translucent light pink with flecks of golden shimmer in, I prefer more pigmentation from my glosses.

Fast forward a few days & I popped into my local Superdrug to see if they had any testers… They had 3. 2 of these were in ‘Stay My Rose’ – Not helpful! The other was ‘Purrr… Glossy Cat’. I swatched them side by side for you & I have to say, there’s not much difference!

I found lots of Makeup Revolution goodies & as Superdrug had a 3 for 2 I picked up ‘Twinkle Twinkle’. This shade makes me think of a toned down version of the MAC Viva Glam Miley Cyrus lipgass – a gloss that, while I loved the colour, was VERY sparkly & I knew I’d never wear. This gloss, like ‘Stay My Rose’ is not as pigmented as it is in the tube. Out of the two, I definitely prefer ‘Twinkle Twinkle’.

‘Stay My Rose’

‘Twinkle Twinkle’

The formula is comfortable to wear without being particularly sticky & is applied with a wand. Rimmel claim this gloss lasts ‘up to 6hrs’. NB ‘up to’ not ‘min’. I find this gloss lasts approx. 2hrs, but it’s comfortable feeling lasts long after the gloss has worn off the lips. This is probably due to the inclusion of aragon oil & vitamin E. Some of the glitter particles do remain on the lips after the product has worn away & they look more obvious at this point. Something to bear in mind.

I love the design of the packaging, this was probably what caught my eye first. It’s very sleek & reminiscent of the Givenchy Very Irresistible fragrance bottle.

I like this gloss, which costs £5.49 & will definitely be swatching other shades to see if there are some with more pigment in the line. You can purchase these from both Boots & Superdrug.
