Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick Review + Swatches

Phew. That is a long title wouldnt you say? So in my previous couple of videos, a lot of you guys have been commenting on the darker vampy plummy lipcolour that I’ve been sporting and so I thought I would finally dedicate a post to that wonderful lipstick. And here they are: Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss Lipsticks in 112, 107, 106 (bit of an anticlimax right being just numbers and all… couldn’t find the names! if they exist, let me know)

LIPSTICK SWATCHES





#112 - Dark brown-based red | #107 - Deep purple plum | #106 - Very bright warm pink
And of course, the lipstick that started all this commotion: #112

And I’m also currently wearing it in my most recent video: 90’s Kid Survey TAG!

MY THOUGHTS:

I love these lipsticks. If you like matte, but found that the SAVVY matte lipsticks were a bit too drying, I think this is a great way to ease into matte lipsticks without the worries of dry lips. I found these quite silky and slippery in texture, but with all matte lipsticks lips MUST be moisturised and exfoliated for the best application. Do note however that it does become dry-er throughout the day making it more visibly matte (which I enjoy).

I give it full points for pigmentation and opacity, and the colour range is also quite nice, incorporating some gorgeous deep shades as well as some lighter ones (that I did not purchase).

One down fall I found with these lipsticks however is the gritty texture. It’s not creamy-smooth like say the revlon matte lipsticks or even the savvy lipsticks. There’s a definite gritty-ness to it which doesnt bother me too much, but I think this might be an issue for some. (Definitely not a deal breaker though as it doesnt change the look of the lipstick in any shape or form).

Overall I’ve really enjoyed the kate moss lipsticks and these have kept the standard. The last kate moss lipstick I’ve purchased was the Rimmel colour show-off lipstick in “shocking pink” and that has to be one of my ALL-TIME favourite drugstore (and even high-end) lipstick I’ve bought. A gorgeous shocking pink that is perfectly opaque and marvellously matte - and these are no different! It’s like she built on that same lipstick formulation to include more colours. The texture, the pigmentation and even the smell is the same. They all have this gorgeous fruity watermelony(?) scent which I found to be deliciously delightful.

You know what, I actually think that shade #106 might even be comparable to the limited edition colour “shocking pink” if you’re struggling to get your hands on that colour!

So massive THUMBS UP from me. And another pro? It’s only $12.95 AUD RRP. Now that is a  great price. Beats the outrageous prices that a certain other company *coughrevloncough* asks for for their matte lipsticks! I believe these are even cheaper in the US & UK at around $5 a pop? Not bad!

Right now asos is actually having 30% off the rimmel cosmetics (+ more if you’re from the UK such as NARS, benefit etc) and they’re currently being sold for $5.58 AUD + free shipping! So check it out here: ASOS.COM  (May have just bought two extra shades… #111 & #110. Oops. >_<)

NEW Savvy Long Lasting MATTE Lipsticks - MAC DUPES??

Hi there everyone!! So I have some really exciting products that I bought today that I absolutely had to show you! I’m a very big fan of shopping online, but often doing so means you miss out on some of the newer australian cosmetic products available in stores.

So today as I was grocery shopping I had a bit of a wander around priceline and found THESE babies! It looks like they’re limited edition, but it’s a new line of MATTE lipsticks from SAVVY by DB! I believe there were a total of only 8 shades. Though they were of a matte texture, some had shimmer/sparkle giving a more velvet look, and some were just matte and opaque. Although there were a few of the lighter shades that I found questionable on anybody, the darker half of the shades were FANTASTIC and picked one of each! Swatched, they were amazingly pigmented and matte, and best of all???? THEY WERE ONLY $6.99!!! Can you believe that?? $6.99 peoples!! Now that’s more like it! Finally we are seeing “drugstore prices” that are actually comparable to the US “drugstore” prices!! Well done SAVVY!

So, before I babble on some more, shall I just show you my newest babies?? I only picked 4 (initially was just going to get 1), but for $7 each, I though what the heck! The total cost of all four will STILL be cheaper than a MAC lipstick and I’m telling you, these babies are absolutely WORTH the price! If not more! I would have happpppily payed $15+ for them!

Word of warning: PIC HEAVY!













Left to Right: Vegas, Bali, Morocco, Maui

LIP SWATCHES!

Morocco: 

Opaque blue-based red. Reminiscent of MAC Lipstick in “Red” (Satin finish)

Bali: 

Deep blue based burgandy/purple. Very very slight shimmer, but not noticeable on application. Reminiscent of MAC Lipstick in “Rebel”

Vegas: 

Orange based red. Brighter shade than Morocco. Reminiscent of MAC lipstick in “Lady Danger”

Maui:

Very bright (almost neon-ish) milky coral. Again, some very slight golden shimmer on close examination, but not noticeable at all on application. Reminiscent of MAC lipstick in “Vegas Volt”


Well, that is all folks! Unfortunately, I have only JUST bought them but on application I found them quite smooth. I did have to build up the opacity but I find I have to do that with most of the matte lipsticks I have anyways. They are of a dry-er texture (similar to WetnWild matte lipsticks) but no where near as matte as MAC Ruby Woo. It was comfortable for me, but I’m very used to the feeling of matte lipsticks (that’s all I wear). I cant comment on how “long” they last, but given it’s a matte lipstick I can almost guarantee that they will last longer than the regular lipsticks anyways.
Over all, a BIIIIG BIG THUMBS UP from me. Not only for the FABulous colours, but also the amazing texture, pigmentation and most importantly: THE PRICE! $6.99 a pop - Not bad for a matte lipstick!!

I recommend ALL of the colours I’ve picked out - they’re fantastic and if you’ve ever wanted a matte red lipstick, here’s your chance without breaking the bank! Check them out at priceline and get them before they run out as they are limited edition!

I’m glad the beauty industry in Australia is finally reducing prices and increasing quality. Another amazing item from SAVVY. Very impressed!

Hope you guys found this helpful and dont forget to check it out!!

(PS - Sorry for the HORRIBLE lipswatches! I was literally rushing to take the photos as the sun was quickly going down!! booo.)
