Rimmel (commonly known as Rimmel London) is a British maufactured cosmetics brand, now owned by Coty, Inc. The House of Rimmel was originally founded by Eugène Rimmel as a perfumery in 1834 in Regent Street, London, England.
Within a year of opening, Eugène Rimmel came to create many make-up products including his best-known: mascara, giving rise to the term 'rimmel' being used to mean 'mascara' in many Mediterranean languages. With his creative success in these products, Rimmel London began producing make-up products, including pomades and mouth rinses. Today, Rimmel London is one of the world's most popular make-up producers.
Rimmel's company motto is "Get the London Look". In the past, Rimmel was modelled by ITV's Holly Willoughby. The current faces of Rimmel are Kate Moss alongside Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Lily Cole, and Ayumi Hamasaki. It was announced in October 2009 that Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger's daughter Georgia May Jagger and Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha were set to join to the line up of Rimmel London spokeswomen. Within days of Rocha's first campaign release, Rimmel announced that they had signed Zooey Deschanel, Solange Knowles and Alejandra Ramos Munoz would help the brand launch into the global marketplace. In 2013, Rimmel announced their collaboration with British singer, Rita Ora, for a makeup collection.
(Sugar plum fairy)
I read the news today oh boy
about a lucky man who made the grade
and though the news was rather sad
well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph
He blew his mind out in a car
he hadn't noticed that the lights had changed to a shade of gray
A crowd of people stood and stared
they'd seen his face before
nobody was really sure if he was from the House Of Lords
I saw a film today oh boy
the US army had just dropped some peace on the Middle East
a crowd of people turned away
but I just had to look
having read the book
I'd love to turn you on...
Woke up, got out of bed
wiped the blood off of my head
found my way upstairs and I did a shot
and looking up I noticed I was late
found my coat, grabbed my hat
I made the bus in seconds flat
I found my way upstairs and I did a snort
and somebody spoke and I went into a dream
I read the news today oh boy
three thousand holes at New York's ground zero
and though the holes were rather small
we had to count them all
now we know how many holes it takes to make the towers fall
