I have been long on the hunt for the perfect everyday lipstick that is a my lips but better shade, longer lasting and moisturizing. I soon learned that this was quite a tall bill to fill. All of the longer lasting shades completely dried out my lips while the moisturizing formulas came off in less than an hour. I was at the drugstore the other day and picked up the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in 08.
I made my purchases at the drugstore, instantly got into my car, opened my mirror and applied the lipstick. The color is stunning, a gorgeous combination of a pink, mauve and plum that takes my lips to the next level.
The finish of the lipstick is more along the lines of a satin. It is easy to apply and does not drag on the lips. My only texture complaint is that it does tend to dry out your lips as it wears off, but this particular color does wear off pretty evenly. On second thought, it may not wear off evenly but it appears to do so because it is close to my actual lip shade. I would most likely have to purchase this lipstick in red to really tell if it wears off evenly. Regardless, it has a pretty good wear time, 2-4 hours if you do not eat a huge meal.
The lipstick has a pretty strong scent of floral mixed with a typical cosmetic scent, but it doesn't bother me and goes away quickly.
The packaging of the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipsticks are really nice. I like that they went the simplistic route with all black packaging, the red Kate signature, and the crown Rimmel logo embossed on the top of the lid. This lipstick can be picked up at most drugstores for about $5 (Very reasonable!). The lipstick contains 4 g of product, which is typical of most lipsticks (For a reference point MAC lipsticks are 3 g).
Last little note, to any makeup companies who may be reading this post please please please know that naming the color of your product something cute or interesting is ALWAYS better than slapping a number on the product, I'm talking to you 08!
Until next time,
