Trial Team for Rimmel BB Cream


Last week, I was invited by beautyheaven.com.au to be a member of the trial team for the new Rimmel BB cream.

Rimmel BB Cream

I did a quick Google to find out the price for you but I don't think it's for sale yet. I was sent the 9-in-1 BB cream in the shade medium and it contains SPF 25 which will be good for summer as I always forget to use sunscreen.



On the back it says:

"It's a skin perfecting super makeup! 9 in 1 results: Primes, Moisturises, Minimises Pores, Conceals, Covers, Smoothes, Mattifies, Brightens and helps Protect."

The texture of the BB cream is between the original Garnier BB cream and the new Garnier BB cream for oily skin. In a nutshell, it's not thick and tacky but it's also not runny like a liquid foundation. It's kind of in between and is really easy to blend.

Rimmel BB cream. Not blended properly
as the underside of my arm is
really light compared to my face.
The underside of my arm is probably a (MAC) NC20-25 but my face is a NC25-30 (I'm also shade 53 in Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation and Punjab in NARS Sheer Glow).

At first, I thought it would be too dark for me but I think I can work with it. I'm usually a medium when it comes to foundation and BB creams so it caught me off guard when I saw how dark it was.

I'll have a full review of it in a few weeks as I'll be using this everyday as per the conditions of being on the trial team.

I hope this BB cream will win me over :)

    1. I'm hoping it'll be good :) I have to use it everyday for the trial until early November, so I'll have to persevere even if it's not.

  3. I got sent this too. I think if you don't apply too much you should be able to work it into your skin. I've tried it on my jawline and it's blended seamlessly :)

    1. I'm going to try to slowly build it up. Hopefully it wont go orange during the day. I'll be carrying face wipes just in case!

    1. I found that it has a lot of pink and orange to it. I have yellow undertones so I'm not sure this will work for me. I'll be using it starting tomorrow.
