Rimmel Mono Blushes Review & Swatches

Rimmel Mono Blushes: Pink Rose (Left) Santa Rose (Right)
During my recent purchases from Asos I decided to pick up a couple of Rimmel blushes: Santa Rose and Pink Rose. I love the sleek look of the new packaging, and it’s a shame these aren't available yet where I live. We still have the archaic oval shaped ones that don't stand up properly in your drawer. I'm OCD so this is something I have nightmares about. Anyway, here are the swatches below:


Santa Rose is by far my favourite, it's a lovely soft coral that looks quite natural with my skin tone. Rose Pink on the other hand is a lot pinker (surprise!) and I tend to apply this with a very light hand so its not too overbearing. The formula blends out nicely, and the shimmer (which I usually detest but can't seem to get away from with drugstore blushes) has definitely been toned down and is unnoticeable to me. These are really affordable blushes, I purchased these off Asos for as little as $7, and with free shipping its a win-win. I definitely recommend checking these out if you're on a tight budget.

  2. Santa Rose is such a lovely shade - I'm always on the lookout for a pretty coral, so I'll have to remember this the next time I make an ASOS purchase. The toned down shimmer in them looks great too~

    1. I never took much notice of their blushes before either, it was only when they repackaged them that I decided to try them out.

  5. I love how much cheaper ASOS is when purchasing Rimmel compared to at Priceline or whatever. Santa Rose looks like such a gorgeous shade; I actually have yet to try their blushes!

    Also, thanks Tegan for dropping by my blog. It's always great to find fellow Australian bloggers! Following you on Bloglovin, hope to see you around more often :)

  6. Santa Rose is literally my favourite blush of all time. It's so easy to slap on and I love that they aren't overly pigmented so you can't look like a clown very easily.

    Great review hun :)

  10. I've been meaning to try Santa Rose but I haven't seen it around much, perhaps I'm just not looking hard enough! It's such a gorgeous coral shade too which I love :)
