Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick.

Rimmels Kate Moss signature lipstick collection has been hugely successful. I love the original collection and as soon as I heard that a matte collection was on sale I made a bee line to my local Boots on my lunch break at uni to grab one.

They have the same style of packaging as the original line but to differentiate quickly between the two they have made these red. Which is great they stand out in my lipstick box which makes for easy grabbing and easy finding in your hand bag!

Colour 101 on left and 107 on the right.

I chose colours 101 and 107.

101 is a beautiful rosy pink. Which looks great day and night. The formula is the same great one you'd expect from Rimmel. For a matte colour these aren't too drying. Obviously matte colours do usually dry your lips out but its nothing a little lip balm cant fix. For a pale colour this is really opaque and blocks out the darker pink of my lips. It also lasts on my lips for a good 3 to 4 hours depending on what I'm doing.

107

Photos really do not do this colour justice. It is a beautiful berry colour that sits perfectly on the lips. It's a perfect berry colour that isnt too dark or to pinky. The matte finish on these isn't too harsh like some other matte lipsticks I've tried.  I love these for an evening out or to make a day time make up look a little on the vampy side. This one being darker does have a little tendancy to bleed a little and to leave a lip line stain, but if you're like me you'll be reapplying so this wont be a problem. The great thing I love about matte lipsticks is you have 2 products in one tube. If I decide I love these colour and want to wear them out but Don't really fancy the matte finish I can just add a slick of one of my favorite lipglosses and there you have it another look.

For £5:49 these are a steal and make a great addition to anyones make up bag.

Do you have any of the other colours? Found any other great matte lippires? Let me know =]

Kate Moss for Rimmel

I have a bit of an obsession with lipstick at the moment. I just can't resist a pretty lip colour and how one simple item can change a whole make up look.

 A while ago I came across the Kate moss for Rimmel range and saw a beautiful deep purple colour, (colour 4) and just had to have it! I'm a massive fan of the Rimmel lasting finish lipsticks already and of their moisture rich lippies. So I didn't hesitate to pick it up.

The formula is great the lipstick glides on effortlessly over the lip and their super moistuising as well. I do find where this is such a dark colour it can go on pretty patchy if I use a brush so I do put it on straight from the stick and blend the edges gently with a brush for a polished finish.

Colour 4 is a very deep plumy purple colour which makes for a nice gothy/grundgy look. I also use it along with a deep pink or a red to create an ombre look across my lips. This colour would look so stunning on someone with a deeper skin tone than mine as I am really pale so it does wash my skin out if I dont use a touch of bronzer or a warm blush.

Loving the first one as much as I do obviously I had to purchase another colour. So I picked up 26 which is a beautiful nude colour. This particular colour has a real full coverage on the lips. My lips are naturally quite pigmented and using nudes can sometimes mean I have to use a concealer to try to block out my colour or I have to really layer the colour on, But this one goes on like a dream. Its a shade that doesn't look as though I have used concealer it has a nice apricot colour to it. It smells fab like sweets. I love layering this with my Urban Decay lip junkie in midnight cowboy as this gives it a beautiful shine and really doesnt interfere with the colour of the lipstick.

With both these shades they both last for ages on the lip. I wear the nude to university and most days I've applied it around 7ish in the mornings and it doesn't need a reapply till 2 which is great for me! Means I don't have to keep getting a lip stick out and applying the colour in between lectures, when your a student you just don't have time for that.

I have recently also purchased a nice matt colour from the collection which I'm currently trying out. I will post about this in a few days.

As with all Rimmel products you can pick them up in Superdrug and Boots stores as well as online. You can also find Rimmel in many independent chemists and supermarket stores.
