Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Paint:
Rimmel launched these eyeshadow paints awhile ago and I'm here with a review for the color #006 Rich Russet.
Rimmel claims that this product has a long wearing, creaseproof, and waterproof formula. It's designed to last for 8 hours of wear and have an intense, metallic finish.

I bought this product at Ulta when it first came out awhile ago. It was $5 and comes in 9 different shades ranging from light neutral colors to more colorful shades.
Packaging:
This comes in a lip gloss like tube with a flat, paddle like applicator. The applicator makes it easy to apply to your eyelids and spread. The packaging is also made of a clear plastic which lets you know when you're about to run out and the shade of the product.
Color/Longevity:
As you can see in the swatches it is sort of a taupe, bronze shade with a really fine shimmer. The actual color of the product isn't as brown as the outside packaging suggests.
It's easily blended before the product sets. Because this is a sort of liquid type product, once it sets it won't budge so work quickly! I did notice that if you try to blend the product after it dries the product will start to just rub off your eyelids instead of blending more. If you blend before it dries though it blends very nicely. It feels really cool when first applied as well.
This product claims to last up to 8 hours without creasing. I have very oily eyelids and do not use a primer with this product and it lasts very well. After a whole day wearing just this product I would say there was very little creasing and the color was slightly faded but still present. Overall, the longevity is very good for not using a primer or eyeshadow to set the product.
The product goes on like a liquid but once blended it really sets and isn't sticky or wet.

As you can see it has a very metallic finish that will really catch the light. I have noticed that it doesn't come off this pigmented on the eyes though. I've found that blending lightly with a synthetic brush gives the highest pigmentation and using your fingers gives a sheerer finish.
This product claimed to be waterproof on Rimmel's website though and I would have to strongly disagree with this claim. Although the product is very long lasting, as soon as I put my hand under water it wiped off cleanly. I didn't even have to scrub or use any type of soap or cleanser to remove the product. If you're looking for a waterproof eyeshadow this might not be the right product.

Final Thoughts:
This is a nice product that I would recommend to anyone that enjoys cream/liquid type eyeshadows. I would also recommend it to people who have oily eyelids and are looking for something that won't crease too much. I personally love cream type products so this was right up my alley. It's very easy to apply and it lasts for a really long time with minimal effort needed.
If you're looking for a cream type eyeshadow for the hotter seasons I would definitely recommend this product. Also, if you enjoy metallic or shimmery eyeshadows then this would be a great product for you.
If you prefer matte eyeshadow or dislike cream type products then this might not work out for you. It is very shimmery and metallic. I would instead recommend the new Maybelline Color Tattoo Leathers for a more matte, cream type eyeshadow. I haven't tried the leather line specifically, but I've heard good reviews and I own some of the original Color Tattoo eyeshadows.
Overall it's a good product but make sure you blend quickly otherwise it will just rub off your eyes!
