Review & Swatches: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks by Kate Moss

Net Weight: 4.0g

A week ago I got six Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks from an in-flight shopping catalogue. Rimmel products are not easy to come by where I am from so I leapt at the chance to get my hands on these.





The formula is really creamy and they are fairly moisturizing. I like that they most of them leave a sheen that isn't too shiny or gloopy. In terms of color some are more sheer while others are more pigmented. They stay on for a long time, but definitely not for eight hours like they claim. I have to mention how they all smell amazing. The scents differ, but generally they smell like Fruitella.



I'm not over the moon about the packaging. I like that they're durable and do not easily get dirty, but they're near identical so I have to turn all of them over to find the one I'm looking for. Not the quickest task if you're like me and you sometimes need to riffle through your makeup bag in the dark or in a moving vehicle.



The colors in the set I got were supposedly the six bestsellers and I have swatches of all of them below. All of them were applied from the bullet onto moisturized lips.



#05



05 is a cherise pink and is more berry toned than the others. It isn't too bright and is a nice everyday color.



#16



16 is a true pink and in the bullet it reminded me of a Carnation Pink Crayola crayon. It applies quite sheer.


#26


26 is a pale nude and is a pretty good match for me. It is not too sheer and would look good with a 60's eye.


#12


12 is a warm corally red. I've been wearing this more and it is probably my favorite shade of the set.


#08



08 is a cool toned mauve pink. The coverage is sheer and I keep thinking it would be great to wear to work.


#10




10 is a glossy red. It is super pigmented and reminds me of 50's pinup girls. It's a little too bright for me.




Generally, I like them all. My favorites are definitely #12 and #05, but I think #10 will take some getting used to. I'm a big fan of the formula because of how easily all of them glide on and how they don't dry out my lips. I also really like that they're scented, but it might not be good for people with sensitive skin. I might not repurchase the exact same colors, but I would go for this line again if the occasion arose.


TL;DR
+ Creamy formula, fairly moisturizing, not too shiny or gloopy, longwearing, smell like Fruitella, packaging is durable and does not get dirty easily
-       -   Packaging is near identical so it’s hard to tell them apart, scented lipstick might not be good for people with sensitive skin, not available locally
