Rimmel London Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch - review and swatches
11:12 AM
Being ultra pale, I love using illuminating products to help my skin look less chalky and flat, and more luminous and well, alive. Seriously, a teeny bit of product makes such a difference to my face, and takes me from this -
- to this.
Instaglow! My newest illuminator is the Rimmel London Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch. That is a stupid long name, which I absolutely refuse to constantly retype, so let's go with Instant Radiance. Cool? Cool.
The range is a new addition to Rimmel's Wake Me Up Foundation line, which I admit to not have tried yet, mostly because my shade is always out of stock/the bottles at Priceline have been tampered with. Each tube of Instant Radiance contains 14ml, and there are four shades available.
Here's a look where I've mixed a drop of 001 with my foundation (Clarins Everlasting Foundation in 103 Ivory) which normally has a matte finish. The illuminator really lifts the flatness a matte formula normally has on my skin and creates a glow that isn't sparkly. I've then dabbed on 002 on the apples of my cheeks and set it with a sweep of MeMeMe BlushMe! in Pink.
Rimmel London Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch has a RPP of A$12.95.

I would say that 001 Flush of Pearl is a true champagne highlighter, while 002 Radiant Rose (creamy pink) and 003 Peach Glow (shimmering dark peach) are more like blushes. 004 is a light bronzer with a frosty hue.

As the Instant Radiance shades get darker, they also seemed more pigmented and less sheer - the swatches above have used equal amounts of product, but 004 is noticeably more opaque than the rest.

I appreciate your appropriate use of gifs! Your skin looks amazingly flawless :) I have never tried mixing highlighter/illuminator into foundation as the ones I use generally have inbuilt glowiness to them anyway, but it seems to work super well with your Clarins.
ReplyDeleteAw wa! Didn't know Rimmel had products like this! But you look amazingggggggggg in this photo! So purddy!! Love!
ReplyDeleteYou look lovely - have you tried any of the Benefit illuminators? How does it compare?
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! Hope to see them in the States soon!
ReplyDeleteI was looking for the Face of Australia illuminators in Priceline yesterday and I couldn't find them. I don't know how I missed these Rimmel illuminators...might have to grab one! I am keen on using 003 for my cheeks :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I didn't even realise Rimmel had these out, I'm obsessed with the Wake Me Up foundation so I'll have to try it with one of these to look super radiant and Beyonce-like
ReplyDeleteYou have the most gorgeous skin! I've never tried a highlighter before but will have to check these out.
ReplyDeletePS: I'd like to invite to join the Bosisto's giveaway at my blog, I have 4 lavender packs up for grabs here: http://www.underlockandkeyblog.com/2012/10/bosistos-lavender-giveaway.html
They're pretty new, and def worth a shot!
ReplyDeleteThe FOA were limited edition, so will be tricky to find. These are a bit more pigmented than FOA and 003 is similar to the Angel Flame.
ReplyDeleteHopefully!
ReplyDeleteThanks! These are a bit thicker than Benefit's Highbeam and not as pink toned. I prefer these as similar product, but more cost effective.
ReplyDeleteAw thank you!
ReplyDeleteHow about my inappropriate use of gifs? ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Are you planning to try them?
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA this post really made me laugh. I am a very pale-en too. I must nip into priceline and pick up a tube of flush of pearl, it looks perfect!
