In all my makeup snobbery, I ended up sending my younger sister all my Rimmel lipsticks - except my Kate Moss ones. I absolutely love these. They are such amazing value for money, from the colour, the literal lasting finish and the smell! A delicious watermelon-esque fruity scent that is so refreshing. Who'd have ever thought I'd describe a lipstick scent like that, haha. But anyway, for anyone on a budget, this lipstick is the bomb. I own 3 all up but this one has been my go to lately.
Firstly, the colours throughout this whole range are fantastic. I've honestly never seen colours like them available before (from drugstore brands), they're so impressive. I fell in love with this colour - a pink berry colour. It swatched quite dark on my arm, but is far more pinky on the lips.
It also builds nicely, as you can see below. They also looks gorgeous with a clear gloss over the top, as they're matte. In spite of this, they aren't ridiculously matte, such as Ruby Woo. It doesn't drag across the lips, and I actually find it to be quite moisturising and long lasting.
I've also found that these don't bleed. Which is odd considering my other Rimmel lipsticks did, but this must be the mystical Kate Moss effect. I wear this colour to work quite often and I've never had issues with it bleeding and going all crazy, which is a blessing.
All in all, this lipstick, and the whole Kate Moss range, is amazing. Super great quality for price, long lasting, gorgeous colours. I believe I got these for $10NZD at Farmers when they first came out, Rimmel lipsticks usually retail for around $15NZD regularly which is still super cheap considering the quality. I highly recommend these - perfect for all year round too, which is perfect with Summer coming up here in the Southern Hemisphere.
