First Blog | Kate Moss by Rimmel Matte Lipsticks

This blog has been long awaited and I have finally made it, my first ever blog post. Clearly I am all new to this so please do excuse me of any errors I may make through-out this post. But nevertheless I welcome you to my blog and do enjoy reading.

I pondered about what I'd write about for my first post and, me being one of those girls who will walk into Superdrug and run straight for the glowing stand with the many lipsticks on, and forty minutes later doing the walk of shame out of the shop rubbing an arm full of swatches with Superdrug's own brand of hand sanitizer which I had to purchase on the way out, it was almost a natural instinct to choose lipsticks as my first blog post. And what better but to choose one of my top choices; Kate Moss' matte lipstick collection.

I own three of the five shades in the collection:
107- a deep berry red shade, perfect for winter and a great MAC Rebel dupe.
101- a soft, muted baby pink.
113- a pale, natural nude with slight peach undertones.

    Left to right: 107, 101, 113


My favorite? 101, or 107.
If I had to pick one? 101.
It has to be said that these lipsticks smell, and taste, just divine, like berry's, yum. Another likable quality about these is how moisturizing these are for matte lipsticks. Also Rimmel have selected a wide variation of colours in this collection, however they have focused particularly on the brighter shades.
Unfortunately shade 113 is way to light for my skin tone, when swatched it looks far more peachy-toned and darker than it does when its on the lips.
I would say that their staying power is quite high, it would be a good 2-3 hours until I needed to top up. One thing I found odd with the shade 107 is that because the consistency is so thick, if you top up before you should, the lipstick builds up and thickens on your lips.

Pros: Moisturizing and matte combo!
         Highly-pigmented,
         A shade for everyone,
         Nice packaging.
Cons: Odd consistency when over-applied.
          Would like to see more darker nude shades.

I hope you enjoyed reading my first post and that this was helpful.
Do you like these lipsticks?
