Review and swatches- Rimmel Lipstick, incl on lip swatches!

Ok  so i want to start off by saying I love these lipsticks! Rimmel is my all time favorite lipstick brand even compared to more expensive ones like Mac and esta lauder.
The new packaging is nice, its slimmer and more classy looking, with stable twisty uppy mechanisms :P
They apply beautifully as the texture isnt too hard that it drags on and isnt too soft that it slides around your lips and melts in the tube!
all of them have a slightly different smell depending which 'collection' you get, non of them are over powering and non of them lingers.
Rose Bikini 020











Im not sure if this was a summer limited edition or not but i thought id add it anyways.
it is a rather sheer lipstick that gives a lovely rosey pink wash to the lips then has this amazing coral and gold shimmer blitzed through it!
as you can see the shimmer does accentuate the dryer areas on the lips, but not as much as a lot of shimmery lipsticks do.
it goes on perfectly smooth, and is very nourishing, you also cant feel the shimmer particles between your lips.

Moisture renew lipstick £6.29

So the smell of these lipsticks is VERY similar to MACs just not as strong and slightly less sugary, id describe it as cake mixture :P
The packaging is good and sturdy but it is bulkier then the rest (annoyingly!) and I dont like the purple, I think its slightly tacky looking, Sorry Rimmel!
Nude Delight 700











Im not normally a massive fan of nude lipsticks as I have a very pale and cool toned skin so they normally either make me look ill, or are too orangey yellow, but this is a nice colour! its almost a peach colour on my pale skin instead of nude. it is also a cream finish with no shimmer.
the formular of this lipstick is heavenly, I need to buy more of the moisture renew range! It glides on smoothly, does not slide around the lips and is very moisturising.

Lasting finish lipsticks £4.99

These lipsticks smell sweet yet refreshing and the smell isnt strong or overpowering, Id describe it as a sweet berry burst :)
The new packaging is lovely very secure, and classy looking, without being too long or bulky.
The formular of these lipsticks is really nice, goes on evenly, without pulling on the skin, and they are all nice and opaque.

Nude Pink 206












It is a flesh toned pink colour that has a very warm undertone, it isnt bright, its one of those 'your lips but better' colours, it really depends on the shade of your natural lips to how dark this colour comes out. It does have a light pink/ silver shimmer going through it, but the particles are very fine so you cant feel them between your lips, instead of glittery it is a frost finish. Like all frost lipsticks it does tend to gravitate towards the dryer areas of my lips.

Old packaging
Pink Blush 006











This is a pale barbie pink colour, with cool undertones. its nice and bright but in a pastel way (if that makes sense?) it is a very creamy texture that is very opaque and has a creamy slightly glossy finish. I dont find that it accentuates any dryness on my lips.




Old packaging
Asia 077












This is a your lips but better colour, I would describe it as a cool toned mauve that is a cream finish with no shimmer frost etc. It is very opaque and it doesn't settle into dry areas.
I love this lipstick, if I dont know what lippie will go with an outfit or if im in a rush this is the one I always go for, such a nice everyday colour.
Old packaging


Dare 138












Dare is a lovely deep red, it isnt as bright as most, slightly more on the muted brown side, so if you like a red lip but are not confident enough to go for it, this could be a good one to start with.
The finish is a frost finish, it is very opaque and creamy and I dont find it settles into dry areas.


Alarm 170













There isnt really anything I can say about this one apart from its your classic bright red lippie, which isnt too bluey or too pinky just a lovely creamy opaque no shimmer post box red.
Really nice texture and feel on the lips as well.

Starry- eyed 128












This is a really nice traditional dark plum colour, very nice for autumn and winter, it isnt too brown based either so paler ladies can defiantly pull this off, lovely dark plum colour.
It has no shimmer and is lovely and creamy opaque.


Kate Moss shade 12












So this is the lasting finish lipstick by Kate moss, the smell and things are exactly the same, just the tube is a little different.
This is my perfect orange based red, its a lovely coral that isnt too orangy or to reddy or too bright, with a cream finish with no glitter or shimmer.


Kate Moss spring collection
So the sent of this lipstick is rather strong and zesty, it has a very sweet and fruity smell yet smells rather sour at the same time.
The formular is very similar to the lasting finish lipsticks.

shade 20












So shade 20 is a fantastic bright magenta pink, That isnt too pastel and isnt too dark, just the perfect bright pink!
It goes on the lips smoothly and has a cream opaque finish with no shimmer, it doesnt stick to dryer areas



Matte lipsticks by Kate Moss £5.49

Ok so these are the same sent as the kate moss spring collection as mentioned above with the same packaging apart from these are red insted of black.
The formular is nice, its not too hard or drying like most matte lipsticks and it doesnt drag on the lips when applying.

vibrant coral 110 











So this is a lovely red based coral that is nice and bright! (alot brighter then shade 12) bare in mind is is more red based then orange based for those of you looking for a orange lippie.
It is matte with no shimmer, I do find like with most matte lipstick that it can settle into dryer areas but it is minimal.


Wine 07












I think this could easily be my all time favorite lipstick, it is a beautiful wine red colour thats the perfect mix of red and purple and its not too bright or too dark.
It is matte with no shimmer, it does gravitate towards dry areas but it is minimal.
