| Rimmel London’s Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch (Radiant Rose, Peach Glow) |
Recently, Rimmel London came out with
their Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch line of four
highlighters. What you can expect from these 14 ml tubes is creamy,
blendable perfection for playing up your cheeks or whatever feature you want to
focus eyes on.
The color pay off judging by the two I reviewed
is quite pigmented with a beautiful, soft shimmer to them. Though this
product has sparkle to it, I don’t think you would mind. This is tiny
glitter immersed in its mousse-like formula instead of big noticeable
flecks. The effect is complimentary and a very wearable, more natural type
of iridescent glow.
002 Radiant Rose is lovely pink, almost
bubble-gum color. 003 Peach Glow is closer in color to soft
apricot.

I applied this product after my foundation and
worked it in. Though this line is marketed as mere highlighters, I found
these products on my light skin could pass for blush. Those ladies with medium
to darker complexions probably would not find this true, but I think fair to
light-skinned women would agree with me. If I had wanted to use this more as a
highlighter, If found a bit mixed with foundation first achieved that sheerer
radiance.
As to performance, I liked how many hours I had
this highlighter on without fading, smudging, or changing colors on me. With
all this going for Wake Me Up Instant Radiance Shimmer Touch, it is hard
to believe these little Rimmel London tubes retail for about six-dollars each. I
recommend checking these out when you next head to the drug store!
