As the title infers, I can safely say I went a tad crazy with these lovely Rimmel lipsticks as I originally posted a teaser for 3 and now have...6. So to start this off on a good note it's safe to say I quite like these money grabbing little buggers!
I have never actually been one for lipstick, not because I didn't like it but because I have always forever focused on my eyes, I don't think a day has gone by in about 1-2 years (unless I was sick then I just don't put anything on- makeup wise) when I haven't put on liquid eyeliner and most likely some eyeshadow and before this I sort of thought it was one or the other, eyes or mouth- otherwise it would be a bit too much.
so because of this I find it super difficult to think lipstick actually suits me and feel a bit odd wearing it, especially out. I've decided though, that I absolutely love lipstick when i see it on other people and think there is nothing better than bright/deep red lips so I want to force myself out of my comfort zone and MAKE it work and eventually be a lipstick person!
so on to the review...
so as we can see, all apart from the 2 on the right are Kate Moss brands of Rimmel and these are my favourites. I find the colours diverse with some perfect reds for everybody and good mix of textures eg matte, shiny.
they are actually super hard to get off (especially when I was trying to get them off of my arms! I think I still have imprints) but I am thinking this can only be a good thing as this should mean that they will last quite a long time, right?
there is one problem with this lipstick though: it does bother me a little bit and thats that it gets EVERYWHERE, like literally, everywhere. on cutlery, on cups, on classes, on cans, on food (weird experience) just literally everywhere. This is where I get to a point that, because I dont usually wear lipstick, I can't compare it to anything and I don't really know if this is normal but I am sure you can figure this one out for yourself!
The prices are good too and fairly average of drugstore brands at £5.49 each at both Boots and Superdrug but I got mine on a deal of buy one get one half price (the reason I have an even number) which might actually still be on so look out for that!
The red capped Kate's have a matte finish and the black ones have a glossy finish if you didn't know this already (I didn't) and obviously it will depend on what you prefer and what you are used to know which one you prefer but I am not by any means a lip gloss person and so definitely prefer the matte ones which to be honest still have quite a nice sheen on them! the 2 on the end (i'm so sorry i'm not actually entirely sure what brand these are!) are both glossy, glittery lipsticks and are generally used for work/college and places they frown on excessive makeup and for that I love them, they just make your lips pop a little more :)
Personally my absolute and undying forever and ever favourite is 107, its not too outrageous to wear out when i'm not completely confident yet and the colour is just so friggin' lovely with a sort of deep burgundy pick colour going to add some depth and I could talk about it all day but the main point is I think you should all go buy it and be as happy as me.
and last of all- the smell. the smell is blooming lovely! they smell like fruit and flowers and some perfume that I can't quite put my finger on but I love them, I also think the black covered one smells a but more than the red but that might just be me.
My boyfriend has nicely enough coined the term 'FAF' for these little ones after I talked about how nice it was to walk around smelling them- meaning face air fresheners. what a genius ay'? I genuinely think they could smell so nice that they could even cover bad breath, forget polo's!
so if there are any questions you have about these lipsticks that I haven't covered just let me know and I will endeavour to answer them!
TALK SOON CHICKENS
