Rimmel London hits Malaysia!

September 29, 2008 Paris B 28 Comments

When it rains it pours! Hot on the heels of Majolica Majorca’s appearance on the shelves of Malaysia comes Rimmel London! The display was spotted in Watson’s KLCC and quite a substantial display it is too, right at the entrance with 3 display units.

Rimmel Kuala Lumpur

I saw that there was a pretty comprehensive display of foundation powder, mascara, liners, lipsticks, lip glosses but only a teeny tiny display of eyeshadow and blush. I wonder why? Anyway, I’m happy Rimmel is also now available in Kuala Lumpur, because I like their lipsticks!

Rimmel display at Watsons

I did a quick search online and apparently, we are getting the Rimmel London Japan products. I know this because I purchased a lipstick in the Gloss Maxx formula which isn’t available on the UK site, but is available on the Japan site.

Rimmel Gloss Maxx lipstick

The Rimmel Gloss Maxx lipstick in 001 costs RM19.90 which shocked me. It is actually cheaper than buying in London! I remember seeing Rimmel lipsticks in a Boots store in London for GBP3.99 (RM25). If I recall correctly, all the lipsticks available in Malaysia are RM19.90. I chose the Gloss Maxx lipstick because it is sheer and shimmery and so gorgeous on. Its not as scary red on as you see in the picture. Also, it is fragrance free! A review will come soon.

I previously owned 2 Rimmel Long Lasting Finish lipsticks purchased from London – A Drop of Sherry and Sugar Plum. I loved A Drop of Sherry so much I used it nearly everyday. It is the perfect sheer shimmery red on me that isn’t drama-mama!

Rimmel Long Lasting Finish lipstick

Unfortunately whilst I love the colour and texture, the scent got to me. There is a strong sweet scent that I dislike but some girls I know like. Its a case of personal taste.

Just very quickly, here are an idea of prices of the products in Malaysia based on memory:-

Renew & Lift Pressed Powder – RM33.90
Cool Matte 16 hour Mousse Foundation – RM41.90
Various mascara – RM27.90
Colour Rush Eyeshadow Duo – RM18.90

I think Rimmel is going to be available at the major Watson’s stores in Kuala Lumpur. I’m not sure about the rest of the country. If the Watsons store carries Majolica Majorca, I can safely say it should carry Rimmel.

Even better, at present (as part of their Raya promotion), Watsons is having a 15% discount on the retail prices so that means even lower prices on Rimmel! Eeks! 😛 I was good. I kept to ONE lipstick. Just ONE 😛

Go wild girls! 😀

    LOL I saw the Rimmel display in Watson’s Sunway Pyramid, which was side by side together with the Majolica Majorca display 🙂 Indeed, you were right about saying that “when it rains, it pours!”
    I almost bought their Glam Eyes mascara, but then remembered that I still have quite a number of brand new, unused mascaras languishing in my drawer 😛 Well, let’s see how long I can stay good…. 😉

    Waaah. It IS pouring! Here’s to hoping even MORE brands (and outlets) will make their way here! =D *Cough Sephora cough*

    I have to make my way to KLCC Watson’s really soon. Looks like they’ve got lots of new stuff stocked up! And the Drop of Sherry looks pretty good. I’ve been meaning to try red lips, and one without drama-mama (LOL) sounds great for starters!

    Great post, Paris!

    yeah, i checked it out in Pyramid n love the lippies!
    but the only problem i have when i wanted to try them out is that the butts of the lippy testers don’t show what colour is inside. so i need to take out each tester to look at the colour. i think that’s the long lasting finish range. but that aside, most of the colours suit me! madness!!

    hi PB!

    i head over to Sunway last night and got crazy… *again*
    got myself a wee bit more of MJ and 1 lipgloss from rimmel… it’s the vinyl star series, the one with bling bling…
    but weird thing is, i wanted a colour called Liquid Asset, which is available as a tester, but NO actual product! >_<

    their lippie smells sweet, a berry kind of smell? not sure already~ i didn’t buy anything else i wasn’t interested in them… wanted the quad shadows but sadly, they dun have it here… 🙁

    @jojoba : I was surprised to see such a huge Rimmel counter too. I think it’ll get to the other Watsons stores too.

    @YZ: Well they’ll be here for a while so you can wait to get the mascara. I am!

    @rinnah: Wooh! Go and check it out! I love the lippies and I’m hearing the mascara is good.

    @Connie : Yep the prices are definitely good and I’ll bear this mascara in mind!

    @Syen: Who knows if Sephora will get in but for now I’m loving the many new brands we are seeing. Drop of Sherry is lovely if you can handle the smell. The Gloss Maxx lippie in 001 is awesome sheer red too.

    @Tine: I’m more interested in getting Max Factor in too!

    @anis : The lippies are wonderful and I agree with you about the testers. They aren’t very friendly but hey its a small price to pay.

    @Plue: Wow! You must be rolling in cosmetics 😀 Yes the lipsticks in Long Lasting Finish smell very sweet. Some girls like it, I find it a bit cloying.

    Oh my! I remember Rimmel from my student days in London waaaaaay back in the early nineties. They had some lovely colors that I adored and saved up for! WOW! It will definitely make me walk down memory lane…….but again its Rimmel London JAPAN…..so colors will favour fairer asian skin and not Indian?

    @Nikki: Maybe it’ll be soon. Fingers crossed!

    @JackieA: The lippie colours are quite strong so darker skinned girls may find it ok. The powders and foundation had some darker shades too. I wasn’t paying too close attention sorry!

    @Monstro: Ah must help boost our flagging economy mah… 😉

Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Popped out of my hermitage to visit the amazing Jo Malone installation at Mid Valley Megamall 😍 Jo Malone has always made gifting an experience, both for giver and receiver, and this is what their Jobots are here for - to help you find that perfect gift whether for a friend, family, or for yourself each time you manage to dodge the C-bullet 😆
Go check out the Jobots at Mid Valley Megamall Centre Court & experience their signature hand and arm massages, gift boxing, personalised engraving of your perfume bottles & candle jars & play with the vending machine. You could get lucky! 
No prizes for guessing which Jobot installation was my favourite! The one with the dog of course! They also had a key chain with a dog. So. Bloody. Cute!! 
And after so many years finally got a photo with event organizer extraordinaire @cyrus.chin because we didn’t get the white & beige memo and came instead in (unplanned) matching sunny coral instead 😂 
It felt good to have makeup on, dress up and go out for a tiny little bit, and meet people I haven’t seen in literally years! Also to enjoy the scents (hard to smell with a mask on though) and the visual delights. Go check it out. They’re there at the Centre Court until Sunday 3 July.
