The Lipstick I'm Currently Loving

Lipstick's are my favourite of all makeup products. I love wearing different shades, trying out new brands, and I like how a look can be completely made just by what colour you're wearing on your lips.
My all time favourite lipsticks from the high-street/drugstore are the Kate Moss for Rimmel ones, and lately I've rediscovered my love for shade 19.

Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in Shade 19 (£5.49) (damn I wish they gave them proper names!) is a kind of deep, warm pink colour, with nudey undertones and it's slightly berry like, in my opinion. I do find this a difficult colour to describe, thank goodness for pictures! Anyway, whatever colour you call it it's gorgeous. It's quite neutral but adds a lovely colour to the lips, which I love. I especially like how the shade looks on my skin tone, I think it suits me well and I always get compliments when I wear it. So if you're quite a pale girl this lipstick might be worth checking out, actually check it out whatever your skin tone -  I think it'll suit everyone!

This lipstick is from the Spring collection of the Kate Moss lipsticks. I don't know if the formulation is slightly different but it definitely isn't quite the same as the original line. Firstly the smell is different - I can't put my finger on what it smells like, it's not unpleasant it's just different. The pigmentation is still amazing, undeniably great, and the colour payoff is outstanding.
I find this lipstick to be a touch more drying than the other Kate Moss lipsticks I have, it's not super drying but with the other lipsticks I kind of forget I have anything on my lips, whereas with 19 I can definitely feel something there. I also found it didn't last quite as long as the others - still a good 3 hours but if you're eating or drink it fades quite fast. It applies easily and smoothly and doesn't go weird if you have slightly flaky or chapped lips.
I completely love this lipstick all in all, I think it's brilliant quality for the price and I highly recommend it to anybody.

The Best Nude Lipstick

A nude or very natural lipstick is a staple in any makeup bag! I find it a struggle to find the perfect nude lipstick for me. Either they make my complexion look washed out, give me the look of 'foundation lips', are too pale or too dark, or cling to any dry skin, however I have finally found a nude lippy that does none of these things.

Kate Moss for Rimmel lipstick in 03 has become one of my most worn lipstick's since I got it a few months ago. I'm a massive fan of the formulation of this lipstick range, I have about 6 of the collection and I'm always after more! The 03 shade didn't disappoint.
It's a gorgeous pinky, slightly brown, nude lipstick. I'm fairly pale but it looks fine against my skin tone, doesn't make me look washed out and gives my lips a tiny wash of colour (it doesn't blank them out, huuurrrah).
The formulation is phenomenal, super pigmented and wonderfully creamy. It applies like a dream and stays put for about 4 hours, maybe more.

This lipstick has been a very welcome edition to my collection and I'm glad I bought it! I'm happy I found my perfect nude, to pair with smokey eyes or just for a minimal makeup look.
This retails for the bargainous price of £5.49! You can buy it here!

My Top 5 Autumn Lip Products!

Ahhhh October, when real Autumn starts to kick in. Colder weather, brown leaves covering the ground, jumpers and boots start to appear and it's time to change over from the summery makeup and go for more season appropriate choices, so I'm going to share with you my top 5 Autumn lip products!

L-R Rimmel Kate Moss 19, Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie,
Rimmel Kate Moss 01, Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial

(note - the colours look VERY similar in that photo but check the swatches below)

Lets get the boring, but essential, product out the way first - Carmex. Best lip balm I have used so far.

There, done. Now onto the pretty ones -

Autumn is the time for darker lip colours, berry tones and of course reds! 

It's no secret that I'm a massive fan of the Kate Moss for Rimmel lipsticks, and surprise surprise 2 of them have made it into my top 5 Autumn lip products! The first being number 19, I ADORE this shade - it's actually a lot more natural than it may look, it's a dark pinky brown and so perfect for a natural Autumnal shade, I often wear this dabbed in gently to my lips for a nice nude colour.

The other Kate Moss lipstick is 01, which is a true red. I've only worn this a few times (I'm not brave enough to wear it for an everyday look) but I love it a lot. It's a lot brighter than it looks in the tube, quite glossy and the lasting power is phenomenal. Reds are definitely are brilliant choice for Autumn and Winter!

Next is the Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie. I wear these lip butters all the time, they're the perfect thing if you're not into wearing heavy lipsticks or want something with nice colour payoff but still looks very natural. Berry Smoothie is a pinky purple with no shimmer in it but it's lovely and glossy.

Last but by no means least is Rimmel Apocalips in Celestial, I wore this to death last Autumn! It's a deep pinky purple, it applies like a dream and dries fairly matte and lasts a lot longer than you may 

think.

Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss for Rimmel London - Review

I have been absolutely loving lipstick lately. I feel naked now whenever I have nothing on my lips.
I think lipstick can make you look a lot more 'done up' and makes you feel better about yourself.
I've always found lipsticks don't tend to last well on me, they fade after as little as half an hour! So when I heard great things about the Kate Moss lipstick collection I thought I'd give them ago.

I really wanted a deep red lipstick so that was my first purchase (the shade 01) and I loved it so much that a few weeks later I bought two more, shades 20 and 05.

 Shade 01 is a quite a dark, deep red, however it looks lighter when applied. It's a really gorgeous colour, a classic red, that is perfect for going out or casual.
Shade 20 is quite a bright fuchsia pink and I LOVE it, I think it's my favourite out of the three. I was a little bit nervous before I bought it because I never normally wear colours like that but it looks really lovely on. It's not too bright but it's bold and I think it looks especially nice as my skin is fairly pale and I have dark hair and eyes. This is from the spring collection.
Shade 05 is a lovely pink, not too bright so can worn casually but at the same time very pretty and you can build it up to make it darker and bolder.

Left to Right - Shade 01, Shade 20, Shade 05.

What I love about these lipsticks is that they last AGES! Hours and hours, they claim to last up to 8 hours, which I am sure they do on some people, for me they probably last about 4. When I wore the bright pink (20) the other day the colour didn't fade when I ate or when I drank, amazing. They are super moisturising, if you suffer from dry lips like I do these will be brilliant for you, they don't dry my lips out at all! And they dry quickly, so it actually feels as if you have nothing on your lips!
The colours in the whole collection are great (Kate Moss picked them herself, well done her! Fantastic selection), they are SO pigmented; a little goes a long way and I think these will last me a long time.
I think the packaging is great as well, they feel nice to hold and look smart and the lid doesn't really easily come off which is great if you're going to keep them in your handbag or makeup bag.
Another thing I love about these is they smell and taste amazing! Some lipsticks smell and taste chemically, these smell of different fruit. The red smells of cherry and the bright pink (20) smells of raspberries! Lovely, lovely, lovely!

Top to Bottom - Shade 01, Shade 20, Shade 05.

These lipsticks are priced at £5.49 which I think is brilliant for the quality of them, and there's often a 3 for 2 deal on in Boots for Rimmel products.
I highly recommend trying these lipsticks out if you haven't already, I can't recommend them enough and I shall be getting some more shades!
Round of applause for Kate Moss and for Rimmel London!
