(pictured: Rimmel Underground Light Beam Lip Glossin #100 In the Mix)
While it’s not difficult to find very syrupy lip glosses, I hadn’t really found any lip gloss that gave me that little touch of natural sheen…until I tried Rimmel Underground Light Bean Lip Gloss. (When it comes to lip balms, Rose & Co. Apothecary’s Rose Petal Salve excels in this.)
The one I have, #100 In the Mix, is a very sheer pale pink. It is not the color that attracts me. It is the finish. It is that only-slightly wet finish (not glossy or shiny) that I have been looking for. It doesn’t look (or feel) like I am putting anything on. The sheen seems to be from within the lips.
The gadgetry is worth a mention. There is a mirror on the side and a built-in LED light. A bit bizarre as you might think, the light can be as useful as you make it to be, especially on a night out.

If you like a thick lip gloss that layers and layers, this one is not for you. But if you like something ultra-natural, this Rimmel Underground lip gloss will probably be your pick of the day!

I´ve been trying to get hold of this for quite some time now. It seems like a gloss for me.
Hello there!
Thank you for your comment!
It is a good lip gloss to try if you like something ultra-natural. The packaging is quite nice as well. (I like the little royal-like logo for the Underground collection.)
Hope you manage to get hold of it soon!
Pretties!
This has been in my cart quite a few times but I didn’t buy it! I’m always a bit disappointed by Rimmel! After reading this I may just dive in!
Lipgloss bitch if you’re in the US you can get this at Harmon’s! They have all the colors!
Great pics PJ!
Hello A-Mused!
Thank you! Glad you like the photos! I had to call a re-shoot because the photos I took previously were not good at all.
The one I have is extremely sheer and with no shimmer. It is a nice little thing to have. It’ll be interesting to see whether you’ll like it if you do get it!
Ohhh I just saw this lip gloss at the store yesterday and wanted to buy it (the pink glittery one) but wasn’t sure if I should get it cause I’m trying not to spend money right now. I love how it lights up!!!

I am trying to save money too, so I know how you feel!
Another thing I like about this gloss is the packaging. It is not the kind of cute/princessy or glamorous packaging I usually go for, but I like the fact that it is quite chunky.
I know many people prefer makeup items to be really slim and compact, but I usually like mine slightly thicker and bulkier (like many Chanel and Dior items). In Japanese/Chinese, people describe this kind of packaging as having “a sense of existence”…
Hi!!I purchased this after seeing your review.I got it in After Hours,and omg,it’s brilliant,I love the slightly wet sheen,look exactly like those magazine shoot lips that I’ve been coveting.NICEE,thank God Ulta has it,THANKS FOR THE RECOMMENDATION =DDDDDDDDD
Hello Rini again,
Thank you for commenting!
I am very happy that you like this gloss as well! Like you, I love the fact that it gives a very natural wet sheen.
Interestingly, I seldom come across lip glosses that achieve this effect quite as well.
If you do happen to come across something similar to this in the future, do let me know. I would be interested to try it!
Thanks again for stopping by!
