Recieved a sample

I received a sample of this product in 320 Aspen and 340 Maple. Maple was a closer match to my skin tone that Aspen but still has way too much orange to be a good match.

It's advertised as "light-as-air" feel and I have to disagree. I can feel it on my skin and it feels oily. It does have a more sheer coverage than their normal line but it still felt heavy on my skin.

I've only had this one for about three hours and it's already "melting" off my face especially around my nose and mouth. I feel like I need to break out some blotting tissues and reapply a bit of powder.

I disliked this product for how it feels on my skin and how it needs to be touched up so soon after applying.

Great colors

Unfortunately Wet 'n' Wild has discontinued the Craze line, according to their Ambassador Nouveau Cheap.

4 new colors!

There are four new colors in the WnW Color Icon Brow & Eye Liner. The remaining colors have been reformulated as well! No idea if the four new colors are part of the permanent collection or if they are limited to the 2010 Winter Collection that's available at most Walgreens.

650D Purple 661C Amethyst 662B Green 663C Olive

The Winter 2010 Collection is currently out. The new palettes, available for a limited time, include the following:

331 I Dream of Greenie 332 I'm Feeling Retro 333 I Got Good Jeans 334 I'm Getting Sunburned 335 Silent Treatment 336 Spoiled Brat

Retail: $4.99

Can be found at Walgreens.

Highly pigmented

LOVED the Fantasy Makers Split Personality Eyeshadow Duos. I had Vamps and Ghoul. Vamps was a black and red duo while Ghoul was a neon green and blue duo. Loved, LOVE Vamps.

The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars and only 4 1/2 was because the pressed powder breaks easily. Not hard to fix but it can be a pain.

I also hate the fact the colors were available only during the Halloween season and when November 1 came the remaining Fantasy Makers line were pulled from the shelves! No idea if Halloween 2011 will see the return of these products, I hope so, but the colors were fantastic.

Leaves skin feeling clean

I've been using this product for almost two months and in that time I no longer use a facial scrub. Prior to using this product I used St. Ive's Apricot Facial Scrub which left my skin looking red and blotchy. As year passed my complexion became worse off but within a couple of weeks of using RareMinerals Renew & Reveal Facial Cleanser my skin looks and feels healthy again. LOVE this product.

Inexpensive primer

It's not a bad primer but as Kimberly O. mentioned it does have an orange ting to it. It's not the worst drugstore primer out there but it's most certainly not the best.

The primer doesn't make most drugstore foundations to cake up. I've used this primer with various Covergirl foundations and Revlon foundations with no problems. There are a couple of other drugstore primers that cause other foundations to cake up (such as Revlon's Professional Secrets Primer).

I gave this product 3½ out of 5 stars simply because the product is too orange for my liking. I hope Rimmel will come out with other primers with a green, purple and yellow base to it.

Great pigmentation

I have Glam Ice and Cel Sapphire and LOVE both colors. I use the Glam Ice the most and it's a nice WHITE color that appears white on the skin unlike some whites that just don't look white. The only drawback to the eyeshadow is that there is a bit of fall out which is the only bad thing about it.

Snow White & Honeysuckle

I bought this at my local Dollar Store. The colors I have are Snow White & Honeysuckle. Not crazy about Honeysuckle but I do love Snow White. I've use the white as a highlight on my daughters during Halloween and again during a "Holiday" Jazz concert. The color has a nice shimmer which makes cheekbones pop. I don't use the color as an eyeshadow though.

Good colors.

Cost $4.99

I have the Holiday Collection of the Coloricon palettes which include (in pic starting top left to right then bottom left to right:

Sugar Plum Fairy Snow Sprite Night Elf Golden Goddess

The colors are nice especially the red and black in the Night Elf palette (which also made up the VAMP duo from the Fantasy Makers Halloween collection). Long lasting colors but there's a bit of fall out. Unfortunately the Holiday Collection was very limited but the good thing is that some of the palettes (such as Golden Goddess) can be found in other normal Coloricon palettes.
