Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Collection.

Hello!

Today i'm going to talk about a lipstick which I actaully bought a couple of weeks ago. I've waited until now to talk about it because it needed a bit of road-testing and it took me a while to make up my mind about how I felt about it. You've probably gathered from the title that i'm talking about the new Kate Moss lipstick collection from Rimmel.

The collection itself consists of seven shades ranging from a daytime nude to a bright coral, red and pink, retailing at £5.49 each. Seeing as I am addicted to nude lipsticks and not being brave enough to go for anything brighter or more vampy, I bought number 3.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick No. 3

 

Good Points: As you can see from the swatch, the lipstick is quite a safe colour, but is very pigmented meaning it leaves you with quite an insense colour. It's quite a creamy formula so it goes on nicely and feels quite smooth. I think one oft he best things about these lipsticks is the smell! They smell absolutely gorgeous, kind of floral without being too overpowering.

Bad Points: Even though the formula is creamy I find that after a while it can dry out my lips quite a lot. This might just be me, but I find if I put on some chapstick or something beforehand it pretty much fixes this problem. Also, i've found that the wear isn't that great and I have to keep reapplying all day.

Overall I really really like this lipstick, especially for the price, and i'm thinking about investing in some more daring colours!

Thank you for reading :) hope you're well

Top 5 Essentials.

Hello hello!
Sorry, it's been almost a week since I last wrote! I thought today I would write about the result of a little 'discussion' I had with a friend of mine, Belle. Being so close, we pretty much see eye to eye on most things, but when it comes to make up we have very different ideas about what we consider to be essential and our discussion quickly spiralled into an argument about the benefits of eyelash serum... Of course, everyone has different favourites and tastes so Belle, being the wise old owl she is, suggested that I do a comparison of our 'Top 5' lists as a blog post rather than just mine or just hers... So, Voila!



Belle's Top 5:
  1. Diorshow Extase Instant Oversize Mascara
  2. Diorshow Maximiser Lash Plumping Serum
  3. Tigi BedHead Big Fat Fun Eye Liner Pencil
  4. Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation (in Fawn)
  5. Barry M Dazzle Dust (in Gold, Bronze and Black)


And mine:
  1.  No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara
  2. GOSH Matt Duo Eye Shadow (in Melting Pale for the day and Dark'N Dusty for night)
  3. Rimmel Match Perfection Cream Gel Foundation (in True Ivory)
  4. Maybelline Dream Touch Blush (in Peach)
  5. GOSH Velvet Touch Lipstick (in Darling)

So there you have it! Thanks so much for reading :)
