If you're a regular reader of my blog, you'll know that I'm a bit boring when it comes to lipsticks and that I'm definitely more of a gloss girl. I've been meaning to brave a classic red lip for a while but hadn't found one that I felt suited me until I discovered the Kate Moss Lipstick for Rimmel.
I decided to try the lipstick in shade 01 which is a creamy rich red and there are six other shades to choose from including shocking pink and nude. It glides on really easily - the arm and lip swatch above are with one regular application however you can definitely build up the colour by applying layers to get a really bold colour like in the advert at the top.
The lipstick is scented with a cherry flavour which some people may not like but I don't actually mind it and comes in a classic packaging which makes the product feel great quality for the price - only £3.99 in Boots.
The lipstick was really long lasting and I found it did act as a kind of stain on my lips although maybe this is because of the deep red - I would need to try another colour to confirm if every colour had this effect.
Overall I really like the feel of this lipstick as well as the tone of red. I'm currently enjoying wearing it with a clear gloss over the top - I'm on a night out in the picture below wearing it with Neal's Yeard Remedies lip gloss in Natural (review coming soon!)

This lipstick looks lovely on you :) I meant to pick some of these up when they first came out... I didn't realise they were only £3.99, definitely need to pop in to Superdrug soon!

Thanks chick - think I paid £5.49 but they are currently on Boots website for £3.99 so might be worth popping there x
DeleteLooks beautiful! I hadn't been much of a lipstick girl until this spring. Now I can't get enough of them! I haven't found the perfect coral yet, so maybe I'll check out this line to see if they have one that works for me :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, glad you like it!
DeleteI completely understand, not being a lipstick person myself. I bought a Boot no. 7 one which I hated that was £10 so its always a risk trying something new - but I think for the price and the quality of these lipsticks its definitely worth a go.
Let me know how you get on!

I love red lipstick its so glam! I tend to wear orange most days....but I might just get the red back out xx
ReplyDeleteThis lipstick is a dupe for mac's brave red :D I love the Kate moss lipsticks shade 02 is great too :)
ReplyDeleteAh haven't tried the MAC one before but really pleased with this one for half the price!
ReplyDeleteLoved 02 as well - that's the bright pink right? Looked better on my brunette friend though! x
I have no top lip so tend to stay away from lip stick too and go for gloss. The last time I went to MAC for my makeup done I did come away with a fairly nude lipstick and (the 80's horror) lip liner. That looks OK. I went another ti,e to MAC though and the girl full on red lipsticked me with bright red lip liner, and I looked the clown from IT. Scrubbed straight off.
