Rimmel Kate Coral Glow Contour Kit

Now honestly I had high expectations for this product. I read rave reviews and countless blog posts about how great it was and it is, in fact, pretty good. However, I purchased the product online (rookie mistake, I know) and fully intended to use it for contouring. Personally, I like cooler toned matte shades for contouring and while the golden, shimmery bronze in this palette is pretty, no contouring would be happening from this kit.





The packaging for this product is ridiculously gorgeous and the shades are super pigmented, if not slightly powdery, but if you've been a reader of my blog for a while you'll know that I already have this exact shade range from a number of different brands. This palette is slightly more matte than some of my others, but it's not different enough for me to swoon over. Basically, if I hadn't been fooled by online pictures showing a much cooler contour shade, I probably wouldn't have given a second thought to this palette. It's good, but if you're anything like me and own about a million palettes like this, it isn't anything special. However, if you don't have palette hoarding problems and this is something different for you, it is a nice quality affordable blush palette.

Have you guys tried any of the palettes from this range? Hope you're all having a great start to your week! XO

    Sometimes it's a hit or miss with some products, honey. I has the same experience (well, similar) with Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation. I honestly hated every drop of it but I got it because of lots of hype and fab photos everyone posted. So yeah :)
    I have seen this palette on the shelves but it didn't spark up anything in me to go ahead and pick it up. Plus, I trust your review so I won't be picking it up for sure now. Thanks for your genuine recommendations, lovely <3

      I have definitely had a few disappointments from hyped up products but I'm glad I tried it anyway! It's not bad, it's just nothing special and since you also love MR, I'm guessing you have most of these colors. Thanks so much for dropping in Nadia, I hope you're doing well my beautiful friend! XO -Kim
