Hey
girls! Today I am going to be showing you my collection of Rimmel Kate Moss
lasting finish lipsticks, three of which are from their matte collection and
one from their regular line. I have had them for quite a while so I have tested
them well enough to pen down my thoughts on them.
I
have recently discovered that Rimmel is not a cruelty free brand since they
started selling in China and animal testing is required there by the law. I
personally never recommend such brands even though they are very popular among
girls here like Revlon, CoverGirl, L’Oreal, Maybelline, NYC, Almay and Bourjois
too unfortunately I just found out. However, this is just my personal opinion
and what you buy is your choice.

Captures all the flair, edge and timelessness of Kate’s unique look.
What Do I Think?
Packaging
is quite important to me because I always keep lipsticks in my purse for
touch-ups. The plastic does not feel cheap and the cap clicks in place securely.
The slanted top with the logo on top makes it easier to spot for me. In my
opinion a good lipstick should be pigmented, less prone to transferring, long
lasting and comfortable to wear. Rimmel Kate Moss lasting finish lipsticks get
an A grade in all these departments.
The
matte ones (107, 110 and 111) remain intact on my lips even after 7-8 hours in
all kinds of weather. If I have an oily meal only then does the product fade from
the very center of my bottom lip. The regular shade is 05 and is predictably
easier to budge after a meal but its lasting power is still pretty decent
around 5-6 hours although it does transfer a bit more than the mattes. The
formula of all the shades glides on easily and does not bleed which is
essential to me. I don’t feel the need to use a lip liner underneath and they
all go perfectly opaque in one swipe. The face swatches are the most accurate I
feel.
Shade
05
This
is what I would call the “good girl pink”. You know the one we grab every time
we want people to think we are mature and sensible for example, in front of
professionals, in-laws and "4pm guests". It has a nice amount of warmth to it so
it won’t wash you want unless you fall in the chocolate or ebony category. It
has a cream finish with a gentle shine.
Shade
107
This
is a deep matte Marsala which is quite red but I feel this is more appropriate
for evening looks although I have worn it during the day. It is universally
flattering but not for the faint of heart.
Shade
110
This
is an intense in-your-face coral with more orange than pink. It is very bright
and spring-y. It looks beautiful on cool tones and even neutral skin tone but I
am not sure how it would appear on warm toned ladies. It is best to swatch such
colours before you buy them.
Shade
111 - Kiss of Life
This
is the only shade with a proper name and I have been drooling over its online
swatches for years. Kiss of Life is a stunning neutral red so coupled with its
matte finish, it is a dream come true.
There
are not that many shades in the matte range but there are a lot of choices in
the regular collection to suit a wide range of skin tones. I know most women
think a lipstick should not cost more than PKR 100 but I prefer not to have
lead in my lipsticks so I think these offer a good bargain given the quality.
