Rimmel

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.

Marketing

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.

Rimmel (album)

Rimmel is an album of Italian singer-songwriter Francesco De Gregori. It was released in 1975 by RCA Italia, and is generally considered among De Gregori's finest works, containing some of his most popular songs, such as "Rimmel", "Pablo" and "Buonanotte fiorellino".

The album

The LP was well received both by critics and the public, and established De Gregori as one of the most popular singer-songwriters in his country. It was one of the best selling albums of 1975 in Italy, with over 500.000 copies sold.

The song "Le storie di ieri" ("The Stories of Yesterday"), was sung by Fabrizio De André in his earlier album written together with De Gregori, Volume 8 (1974). Although the song is entirely written by De Gregori, the version in Rimmel contains minor differences in the lyrics.

Lucio Dalla is credited as co-author of the music for "Pablo" and also probably sings in a choir of the latter song.

    A Day In The Life

    by: Ramallah

    (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
