Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss - 08 Review + Swatch!

Sorry I have been MIA lately, got caught up in University exams. But I will hopefully blog more regularly now *fingers crossed*. Today I'll be reviewing a Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 08. Now before I get to the detailed review I must say this is a beautiful rose colored lipstick that is a must have! It's a beautiful creamy lipstick, and yes Rimmel does produce some of the most amazing drugstore lipsticks.

Rimmel collabrated with Kate Moss to produce the Rimmel Kate Moss lipsticks line, which has a different packaging than the original moisture renew line. It has rather a simple sleek black casing with Kate written on the top part of it and a heart. I picked up the shade 08, which is a muted rosy mauve shade and is great for everyday wear. The lipstick has a mild scent which is present in the entire lasting finish line.

One swipe

The color is a mix of rose and mauve, which could be a mlbb (my lips but better shade) for some people. It's a color that I think can suit a great range of skin tones, because of it having a neutral undertone. It is also very pigmented, with great color payoff in one swatch. The lipstick gives a semi-matte with a slight sheen. I wouldn't call it moisturizing though, cause my lips tend to start drying a while after applying the lipstick. Which is why I apply lip balm prior to applying the lipstick.
Final Verdict:
I really like the color of the lipstick, and the creamy semi-matte finish as well. I would prefer if it was slightly more moisturizing, cause I tend to have dry lips. But I do think this color is a must have, and can suit a lot of skin tones.
It is available in most drugstores for $6-8 depending on where you buy it.

Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lip Tint | Carry On Cherry

Lip tints have become quite a popular product since a while now.. We have a large variety of them to choose from now even in drugstores. They're especially popular with people who find lipstick a little heavy or lip gloss sticky, and also people who like the no makeup look a lot. Today I'll be reviewing Rimmel's lip tint in Carry On Cherry (600).

(Pardon my camera's quality, I'm trying to work on that.)

It is a two way lip tint, with the tint being the first step and the balm on the other end being the second step, to add moisture to the lips. The tint is in the marker form, here is a close up of how it looks: 

Close up for the balm on the other end: 

The lip tint has a light cherry + marker like smell, it's a little weird but it's not too strong or irritating. The balm has an extremely light cherry like fragrance, which to me is pleasing. Both caps are strong and close firmly, which makes it good for traveling too. The shade Carry On Cherry was the second lightest I think after Nothing But Nude, which is one shade lighter. I think it's a beautiful almost natural color. It's a berry like color, and the color of the lip tint is VERY much like the color of the packaging, they're almost identical which offers a good guide for the color inside the tube. Though this a "Transferproof Lip Tint" like the packaging says, it does transfer a little, not too much though. The lasting power is fairly good. It does fade after 3-4 hours though but not too much. I actually like the balm a lot, it's very moisturizing and not too shiny or heavy. As for the marker, this is the first tint I bought in a marker like form, and I'm not too pleased by it. For some reason I just don't like the marker form of application. And having to apply the balm separately. It is a great product and many might love it, who don't find the marker feeling weird. But I guess it's just not my thing. I still do use it, not very occasionally though. The color is bright and beautiful, and can be worn all year round I think. Here is the swatch: 

(The color looks a little faded in the swatch, but it's actually brighter.)

Overall, the packaging and product are great, it offers a good amount of pigment. I just don't really like how you have to apply it in two steps, and also how the tint is in the marker form. The color is beautiful though and is quite flattering on a lot of skin types. 

Hope the review was helpful! Have you tried any of Rimmel's lip tints? What do you think about them? Please leave a comment for any questions or suggestions. :)
