I've been wanting to try these lipsticks out for quite some time now. I see them at most chain stores but I didn't want to pay full price just in case I didn't like them. Luckily a bucket sale was coming into town so this was my opportunity to try and find these lipsticks. I was lucky enough to find a large range of rimmel products there. Now the hardest part was choosing because theres always so many products to choose from.
The packaging of this lipstick is so pretty to look at. Its a vibrant red with a metal Rimmel band going around it. I like this crown that imprinted on the top of the lid. This added little touch of Kates name on it is so cute with this little heart. When I open the lid normally I get disappointed by seeing a plastic casing but this one is metal with Rimmel imprinted on it. The colour I chose is 104 it's a pink nude. The texture of it is Matte but it's not drying like most mattes would be and it still has it's moisture in it it.
Before applying my lipstick I like to do a gentle lip scub just to get off any excess dry skin. After that I put on a bit of lipbalm. Then I apply my lipstick. I find this lipstick glides on smoothly. There wasn't any patches for me with this. This does come off with eating and drinking . I did need to apply more after eating . The colour for me was vibrant even though it's a colour thats apart of the nudes.
Would I buy more. Yes I would buy more because I enjoy the packaging. I also enjoyed the finish I had with it. It's priced accordingly. If it had a lasting finish like it says it does it would have got a 5/5. I just needed to try it first before committing to it. I can't wait to find more colours.
These are full colour, smooth, not drying, and so cheap! I've tried rimmel lipsticks from a could of different lines but the Lasting finish ones are the best. Now i'm not too sure about the lasting finish because they act like regular lipsticks. But they don't slide around your lips and aren't patchy at all. Love love love these!
