So I’m hoping you caught my original post where I reviewed the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliners in Black, Brown, & Sparkling Black because they are simply the bee’s knees. Seriously, they are no joke & have quickly found their way into my daily stash. Keep reading to see swatches of these much more colorful shades!

Now if you are anything like me, you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect eyeliner (under $15 preferably) that can do it all. Creamy enough for the waterline, long lasting enough that it doesn’t need touched up, & intense enough to satisfy my obsessive need for a great line. These totally blew me away. Seriously, look back at how black that black is! Plus, these can be found for around $5.

Nude: A super creamy warm peachy nude.

Silver: Metallic silver, can be opaque. No glitter.

Purple: A medium purple, not quite as opaque as the others. Light bits of silver shimmer.

Turquoise: A cool light blue with a slightly frosted metallic finish.

My favorite of all 4 shades is definitely the nude, I feel like I’ve been looking for it all my life! This super creamy shade reminds me of NARS Rue Bonaparte with a much easier to manage price tag. I have used this liner multiple times but much prefer the Rimmel version. It is creamier & lasts longer. If you look dull around the eyes (often an issue for me) then this will be a major find for you. Don’t freak if it looks odd up close because ones you step back from the mirror you’ll see it brightens rather nicely.

The silver is a close second because it is super creamy & blendable but sets magnificently like all of these shades do. The purple is sheerer than the others but you can apply a second layer for full opacity. Turquoise (which I definitely feel leans more light blue) is a nice shade for a pop of color. I can see this getting a nice amount of use this summer!

I purchased these from Walgreens on a permanent display. That’s super exciting because it was the first time I’d seen them there on the wall instead of on a single display with the jumbo sticks. I’ll be showing those to you next…you’ll love them I bet! For such a small price, these are a serious find. I’ve been impatiently waiting for these ever since UK bloggers (who get Rimmel products first) shared them. Rimmel is quickly becoming my favorite brand!
