I've been looking for a Coral coloured lipstick for a while to try something different so while I was shopping for some other Rimmel products, I thought I'd pick this one up and give it a try.
This product smells amazing, kinda like a lolly store. But that's about as much praise as I can give it. I found the product didn't apply very nicely and isn't very pigmented. It has a very shiny finish that looks quite uneven and sparkly which I don't prefer in a lipstick.
I love the brand, and I'm willing to try out more colours in this range, but this Coral colour just wasn't right for me.
One of my very first lipstick was a Rimmel in iced heather that was the trend of the time, recalling how much I wore it back then I went on a mission to find it again. Unfortunately it appears they don't make that shade anymore so picked up drop of sherry instead.
Packaged in a pretty dark aubergine plum case with an offset topped cap that mimics the lipstick shape, stamped with the Rimmel crown logo. Its a pretty classy looking lipstick.
Formula wise, this glides on with a creaminess that slowly melts onto your lips leaving a satin finish with a slight sheen. Drop of Sherry is exactly that the colour of sherry is you were to spill a little on the counter, its a soft orange red with a brown undertone hue that has a wonderful scent that actually reminds me of sherry, now not sure if that is just because I am thinking about sherry and it is in fact a more vanilla scent but this is what pops into my mind. So it is a joy to apply.
Keeps your lips hydrated but it isn't an unmovable lip product, if you blot the excess off it does resist minor transfer onto cups etc but this moves off your lips after a while, probably a good 2-3 hours of colour until all gone, quicker if you chat a lot of eat something.
Great for affordability and ease of access as this is available from Farmers as well as some online stores here in NZ. Good all rounder.
