LIPSTICK APPLICATION

The Kate Moss collection from Rimmel London is one of the highest quality lipsticks I've ever found at such a low price. I've only tried 2 shades from this collection- Shade 08 (a dusky pink) and Shade 05 (a bright fuchsia) and have absolutely loved both since I bought them!

 I thought the collection has a great range of colours and shades that allow you to change your lip colour for different occasions, or just a change of style. These lipsticks include a formula which is a Black Diamond Pigment Complex which makes this lipstick reflect an even more radiant and intense shade. The price for this lipstick is incredible for such a good lasting effect and I would definitely buy more shades from this collection!

The packaging alone for this collection is something the definitely catches the eye - the matte black casing and red writing is a very minimalist but very sexy concept, and draws you in before you even look at the range of colours.  The packaging also makes the product look classier, more elegant and higher end which I like, easy to use without any fuss!

This lipstick is absolutely lovely and a great addition to my makeup bag! A beautiful nude creamy neutral pink colour that gives a semi-matte finish with a hint of shine. Shade 08 is a very natural lip colour, so it can be worn everyday to  give your lips a boost and make them appear fuller than normal, without being over the top. The lipstick is quite pigmented, glides on very easy and lasts all day long, which means no need to re-apply, which is great!

 I immediately fell in love with shade 05 – a bright, bold fuchsia pink colour that would brighten up any smile without being to over the top. The lipstick itself is really creamy to apply, leaves your lips feeling hydrated and has a really nice smell to it, unlike other lipsticks I have tried. One thing I love about this shade is that it is very versatile, and can be worn at any time of the day, for everyday use or just an evening out.

Today's blog post shall be sharing with you my "go to" lip products that I shall be using this Autumn/Winter. When thinking about what lip sticks and lacquers I have bought to use at this time of year, I was amazed that all the products I am featuring today have been from Rimmel! For the Autumn/Winter time, I usually tend to head towards either a really bold red/berry lip or a nude colour (which I wear all year round anyway), so I have included a mix and match of colours that I think would suit the majority of skin tones.

I have swatched all of the lip products above, and as you can see, they are all highly pigmented and have a full coverage with just one swipe. I find all Rimmel products I have used before, they have been very pigmented and easy to apply, as well as being very affordable and a variety of shades! Most of these products I have previously reviewed, so I shall leave the link to them, so you can go and have a peak at what I think.

Once again I have caved in and purchased myself another new lipstick, "Macaroon" from the Topshop collection, which is my first lipstick from the range. This lipstick is a very bright pretty pink colour, perfect for an everyday lip colour! 
Topshop Macaroon Lipstick
I really like the soft formula of Topshop lipsticks and really recommend them as they have a really great colour range which I think is great for a brand that's not cosmetic based. At £8, the price is possibly slightly pricier than a standard "drug store" lipstick, but I don't think it's too unreasonable for the product you get.
Topshop Macaroon LipstickTopshop Macaroon Lipstick
This lipstick is a gorgeous pink/peach colour that flatters most skin tones. It has a lovely smooth creamy texture and covers well. Macaroon is a lovely pink shade and has lots of pigment therefore you only need one layer of this for the full colour to come out! When you apply it to your lips it comes out in a sort of bright coral pink shade, which looks really gorgeous with a velvet finish. I was actually quite scared to walk around with this lipstick on as it is a dramatic, quite bright colour but I have started to enjoy it very much and something I shall continue to wear.

After using my other two Kate Moss Rimmel London Lipsticks, shades 08 and 05, and absolutely loving the colours and how they apply, I decided to purchase a new one, shade 16. Shade 16 is a gorgeous peachy coral light pink colour that is slightly nude but I really love. Its bright colour yet subtle enough for daytime wear, and I think it will be a gorgeous summer lip colour. 
Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick Shade 16
One thing that I love about the Kate Moss lipsticks, is the actual smell of the lipstick which unlike other lipsticks that don't really have a nice smell, shade 16 really does smell like watermelons, which is delicious. I really like the way that the lipstick applies to the lips and the finish that it creates. These lipsticks are super bright, glide over the lips well and giving full coverage after a few swipes, well pigmented and long lasting.  Their texture is slightly waxy but is also mildly moisturising, which is unusual for such bright lipsticks.

They are priced at £5.49, which I don't think is very expensive for a lipstick, for me personally I think is amazing value for what you get. The Kate Moss collection has a vast variety of colours from light to dark and bold to subtle, which can give you a choice of lip colour perfect for any occasion. I would definitely purchase more shades from this range, as what I have used already I have really loved.

So I've finally got round to writing up my review for the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks that I really have been enjoying! This is a fantastic lipstick with a huge variety of colours. It leaves your lips feeling moisturised, hydrated and soft and looks new and fresh for a long time. They glide on nicely and the pigmentation is really good. They aren't drying at all and they leave a really nice sheen on the lips so no need for lip gloss  The staying power is quite good too, especially for the price. The colours that I picked up were "215 Sweetheart Tulips", "260 Amethyst Shimmer" and "720 Notting Hill Nude", which are some absolutely gorgeous colours to add to my makeup collection. The packaging is  very sleek and gorgeous and looks much more expensive and the colour range has a colour for absolutely everybody!

"Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick, incorporates a unique blend of three super-moisturisers – polypeptides, hyaluronic acid and natural collagen – to hydrate lips intensely and in depth, lips look and feel up to 70% more hydrated."

 215 Sweetheart Tulips
Sweetheart Tulips is a bright warm toned pink with shimmer, that is a gorgeous everyday colour that I have been wearing a lot recently. It is quite a bright pink, but its not "too in your face" that would restrict you from wearing it during the daytime as well as the evening. This lipstick has some great pigmentation and only takes 1 swipe across the lips for them to be fully covered, which is great!

 260 Amethyst Shimmer

Amethyst Shimmer is a gorgeous deep berry sort of pink colour with some shimmer. The colour is bold and quite vibrant against my skin, but in a pretty, wearable way, which for me is more an evening sort of colour as I don't think I'd pull it off during the day. It is a beautiful violet-pinkish colour that is the perfect balance of subtle brightness-elegant, not too in-your-face, but not dull either, which is perfect for me.

720 Notting Hill Nude

I bought this in the shade 'Notting Hill' because I was desperate for a new nude lipstick. It is very moisturising and is nice and glossy. It applies really nicely and the colour builds up within 1 or 2 swipes across the lips. It's a lovely everyday sort of colour, even perfect if you want to wear more heavy eye make up and have simple lips, also a lipstick that is wearable all year long!

Now that we are finally seeing some warmer, generally better weather in the UK, I think its about time I ditch my beloved berry toned lipsticks and dark pinks/reds, and opt for something much more spring/summer like. I love a good peachy lip; its a perfect all rounder colour, looks pretty both day and night I think it's the perfect colour for a spring/summer day. Two lipsticks that I keep going back to are both high street brands that are super affordable and I just definitely think they are perfect peaches!

First up is a lipstick from MUA (Shade 7), a beautiful coral peach toned shade which I really adore. Shade 7 is a very creamy and highly pigmented shade, which gives amazing colour pay off in just one swipe. They are very moisturising on the lips and I find they do not need any lip balm beneath them. This was one of the first ever MUA lipsticks I had ever tried, and at £1 a pop you can't complain, and I definitely think they give many other high street brands a run for their money! 

Secondly, a gorgeous lipstick from the Kate Moss Collection for Rimmel (Shade 16), which I have previously reviewed in depth here. Shade 16 is such a gorgeous peachy coral light pink colour that just screams spring/summer to me. Many lipsticks have quite a weird, unusual scent to them but Shade 16 really does smell like watermelons, which is delicious. The lipstick applies so smoothly and easily to the lips, the finish that it creates, giving full coverage after a few swipes, as well as being well pigmented and long lasting.  It was a definite favourite last year and still holds one of the top spots for my all time favourite lipstick.

Peach toned lipsticks will definitely be my go-to this spring/summer. I find that they really suit my skin tone and are definitely perfect for any occasion! If you have any drugstore peachy lipstick recommendations then please leave a comment as I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Are you a fan of peach lipsticks? What is your favourite shade? What brands do you consider when purchasing a new lip product?

Hey guys! It’s been a long while since I posted anything around the topic of lipsticks, and from a previous post sharing my Rimmel London Kate Lipsticks, which seemed pretty popular and I had got some great feedback and suggestions, I wanted to share with you My Current High Street/Drugstore Lipstick Collection. In the past, I’ve always kept it safe and always bought and worn nude coloured lipsticks, which there is no problem with, however quite recently I have been buying more colourful peaches, corals and pinks, that just add that pop of colour and I have really been enjoying and embracing the fact I have stepped out of my “comfort zone”! Now, my collection of lipsticks isn’t the biggest or most expensive, but I just thought it would be nice to share with you that current shades and colours that I own, and to see what you think of them and maybe show you some you’ve not tried and it might change your mind on certain brands or colours.
Drugstore Lipsticks
The first selection in My High Street/Drugstore Lipsticks is from the Kate Moss Rimmel London Lasting Finish Range, which I have been using for so long and still loving! I picked these up in Superdrug in the following shades; 05, 09 and 16, which retail at £5.49 each. I won’t go into too much detail about these, as you can read my previous post here.
Rimmel Drugstore Lipsticks
Rimmel Drugstore LipsticksDrugstore Lipsticks Swatches
Shade 05 – A gorgeous deep berry red colour with pink tones, which I find perfect for a night out!
Shade 09 – This is a beautiful purple/brown toned nude colour, an everyday use lipstick!
Shade 16 – My favourite of my Rimmel Lipsticks, this is a lovely bright pinky peachy coral that is very summery and pretty!

The next few in my collection are just ones that I have tried out and not loved or hated, just lipsticks that I don’t use that often, but still keep them in case the right occasion pops up or I feel they go with a specific outfit or look.
Drugstore Lipsticks
Drugstore LipsticksDrugstore Lipsticks Swatches
Primark Lipstick – I got this lipstick in a coral pink colour, which only cost £1. I really like the colour; however when applied to lips, it isn’t very pigmented and needs quite a lot of swipes to achieve some colour.
Barry M Shade 121 – I bought this lipstick AGES ago, I think it was £5?, it is a very deep and vibrant pillar box red colour, that quite frankly I don’t think I’m that brave enough to pull off!
Topshop Lips in Macaroon – This lipstick was my first make up purchase from Topshop costing £8, after I read about how great there lipsticks were from a number of different blog. I chose this bright pink colour, with slight peachy tones which is very summery!

Finally, the last two lipsticks in my collection is something I have recently purchased and have loved ever since, and I don’t know why it took me so long to experiment with and try out! These lipsticks are from MUA, which I also bought in Superdrug in shades, 7 and 12, which retail at just £1, bargain or what?!?!

Shade 7 – A really pretty peachy coral shade with a hint of shimmer, which is really pigmented and so versatile to wear both day and night.
Shade 12 – This is a really gorgeous shimmery pink shade, which has such a lovely colour to it and perfect for everyday use!
