Rimmel London Lipstick by Kate Moss Review & Swatches

I have been wanting to get my hands on the Rimmel lipstick by Kate Moss for ages but unfortunately Rimmel was not well stocked locally and was eventually discontinued in Malaysia. Since ASOS was having a sale early last year, I went into a lipstick frenzy and bought five of those for £3.50 each. 

There are two different collection of lipstick by Kate Moss. One is the original Lasting Finish (Black tube), and the other is Lasting Finish Matte (Red tube).

Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss - A creamy texture that gives a matte finish

#107 is a deep plum colour which is absolutely gorgeous! Very sexy vixen like don't you think? However, this colour doesn't really suit me as it is cool/blue based. Perhaps I should play around with it more to see if I will come to like it.

#110 is my current favourite with the vibrant salmon pink shade! It really brightens up my complexion and make me look less tired. I was quite sad to find that this lipstick shade came broken. The rest was in good condition and it will take a long time to post out and receive the replacement from the UK, so I just applied it with a lip brush.

#111 is a lovely vibrant red which is great for dinner or a night out. I love red lipsticks because it makes my teeth look whiter.

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss - Creamy & moisturizing finish

#05 is a sweet pink shade that is great for everyday wear!

#12 is a lovely coral/orange shade! I have yet to try this out yet and hopefully it will compliment my skin tone :)

Overall, I am really happy with my Rimmel lipstick purchase! They have a nice fragrance to it and the colours are really vibrant and pigmented. Rimmel claims that it lasts up to 8 hours. However, it is best to touch up after eating and drinking as it tends to wear off. I forgot to touch up once after my meal and it faded off from the inner part of the lips and slowly towards to outer. In the end, it will look like your lips are outlined xD

Do you own any of these shades? Which is your favourite?

M.A.C Fashion Nomad, Innocence & Pleasureseeker Lipstick Review

Earlier this year, I went to the staff sale at Renaissance Hotel and managed to grab 3 M.A.C Lipsticks for only RM60! :D

Below are the lipsticks I bought which were from the previous M.A.C Collections or Limited Edition ones:
1. Fashion Nomad - from the Style Seeker Mattene collection
2. Innocence - from the Glamour Daze collection
3. Pleasureseeker - from Heavenly Creatures collection


[L-R] Fashion Nomad, Innocence and Pleasureseeker

Fashion Nomad: A creamy matte lipstick with an intense bright red orange colour. Its creamy texture allows easy application and does not dry out the lips like most matte lipstick tends to do.

Innocence: A soft coral shade with peach undertones. It has a frosted finish which is absolutely gorgeous if you love the shimmer. Best to apply a layer of lip balm as it is quite drying.

Pleasureseeker: A sheer coral lipstick with glaze formula. It has a subtle pink/nude undertones as well. Good for an everyday look since this lipstick is pretty sheer.

What are your favourite lipsticks from M.A.C?

MAC Archie's Girls Ronnie Red Lipstick

Stumbled across the latest collection of MAC cosmetics while I was in the mall earlier this month. The huge display counter in the center of the mall piqued my curiosity, so me and my friend went to check it out. I'm glad I did, because I was quite an Archie's comic fan during high school :) And a part of me was immediately sold to the concept already xD

What caught my eye from the Archie's Girls collection was the Veronica matte lipstick in Ronnie Red (RM75). Tested it at the MAC counter and I fell in love with it! My friend in Aussie said most of the Archie's Girls collection were sold out over there. Plus it's a limited edition, so I went back to the mall and bought the lipstick a couple of days later :)

Ronnie Red is a mixture of cherry/hot pink and red which makes it a very vibrant and unique colour. I love the fact that it is outstanding and attention grabbing! The colour lasts very long too and it does stain your lips. 

Before this, I don't consider myself a lipstick fan as I tend to stick to lipbalm and gloss. Red lipstick in particular, have never been on my list because it screams bright and loud. But this year, I've been wanting to get my hands on a red lipstick for reasons unknown. Is it due to age, that I'm ready to move on to the next phase of life? xD I've been looking for a red lipstick for some time. Nothing held my interest while I was on my search and I'm glad that I found this amazing lipstick in a shade that I love! 

However, this matte lipstick made my lips dry after a while. So I'll have to constantly apply Vasaline every couple of hours so that my lips don't get chapped. That is the only thing that I didn't like, but I'll overlook this matter :) If you have pink undertones like me, it is best to apply foundation or bb cream on your face because the Ronnie Red lipstick tends to make the redness on your face more visible.
