A beauty editor has shared her glowing review of a surprisingly affordable multipurpose makeup product from Superdrug, after her own sister complimented her radiant complexion during a video call.
A Simple Routine Meets a Holiday Dilemma
As someone with sensitive skin, the editor, Jada Jones, typically favours a minimal makeup routine focused on SPF, tinted lip balm, blush, and highlighter. She admits to a particular love for blush, especially the trendy blush-across-the-nose look. However, she often leaves highlighter behind when travelling due to the risk of broken palettes in transit.
This common holiday beauty problem appears to have found a solution in the Rimmel Multi Tasker Turbocharged. Normally priced at £9.99 at Superdrug, it is currently available for £7.99, or just £5.99 for members. The product comes in nine versatile shades, ranging from rosy blushes to bronze and gold tones.
Putting the 'Multi-Tasker' to the Test
Jada tested three shades: 002 Rosy Rebel (a gentle pink), 005 Iconic as Usual (a pearly rose gold), and 006 It's Giving Glow (a pearly gold). She was impressed by the dewy glow provided by Rosy Rebel, despite its lack of obvious shimmer, and noted the formula is highly pigmented, advising a light-handed application.
She found Rosy Rebel most suitable for everyday wear, while the shimmery shades were perfect for evening looks. In her opinion, the performance could rival high-end products like the £32 Fenty Killawatt highlighter.
The product's real-world test came during a FaceTime call with her sister, who immediately remarked that Jada looked "radiant" and praised her highlight, though she did note the blush was slightly over-applied. After a quick redo, blending the Rimmel stick with a cream blush, Jada was "over the moon" with the seamless, glowing result.
Praise from Reviewers and Key Considerations
Jada highlights that the product blends easily but dries to a long-lasting, budge-proof finish. She calls it a fantastic addition to any makeup bag with an unbeatable price, comparing its value to other budget finds like the Studio London bronzing stick.
She isn't alone in her praise. The product has garnered over 800 reviews on Superdrug, with customers applauding its non-sticky feel, travel-friendly size, and versatility as a highlighter, blusher, or bronzer. One reviewer noted its impressive all-day wear, while another relies on it for a quick, healthy glow on rushed mornings.
The main caution, according to Jada, is the potential for over-application, which could lead to an overly shimmery 'disco ball' effect. She recommends careful blending and sees it as a staple for spring, summer, and festive seasons, with plans to use it on her collarbones for Christmas sparkle.
With its large tube promising longevity, this budget-friendly multitasker is proving to be a game-changer for simple, holiday-ready glamour.
