Product Review: Rimmel London | Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss.

Hi lovelies!

Boy, am I glad that Monday is over! It's probably the worst day in the week, there's nowhere to go but up from here on out!

I have some gorgeous new lipsticks from the new Rimmel London | Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss winter range to share with you today. According to the Rimmel London, these are enriched with ruby powder to provide intense, velvet colour that lasts all day.

Unlike the previous range of Kate Moss lipsticks, which were packaged in black cases, these ones are housed in slimline red tubes, with Kate's signature logo on the lids. I really like that the lids snap on with a definitive click, it prevents it from accidentally coming open in my handbag and smearing lipstick over everything!

There are six shades in the new winter collection and they are listed as #103, #106, #107, #111, #112 and #113.

L-R: #103, #106. #107, #111, #112 and #113.

For a matte lipstick, I find the texture of these to be quite creamy. These lipsticks are very lightweight on my lips, with a velvety feel to it. I also find them quite non-drying, I can wear the more pigmented shades for hours without experiencing fading, at least until I eat or drink, and my lips still feel quite comfortable at the end of the day. The lighter shades are a bit less pigmented, requiring a bit more touching up during the day.

These lipsticks do have a distinct floral scent, it's not quite to my personal tastes but the scent does fade quite quickly on application so it's something I'm happy to put up with for such gorgeous colour!

Let's take a look at some swatches, shall we?

#103 is what I call a dusky mauve, #106 is more of a hot pink and #107 is a deep berry. All three are very pigmented.

#111 is what I'd call a deep red, #112 is a warm chocolate shade and #113 is a nude beige. The first two shades are very pigmented, while the last is quite pale and essentially disappears on my skintone.

As you can see from the swatches, the range includes both bold colours as well as more subtle shades.

The stand out shades that have fast become favourites of mine are #103, which is a great shade for a subtle wash of colour, and #106, which I fell in love with at first sight and find perfect for a statement lip. I'm also really liking #111 for the cold, winter months, and #112 for a bold red pout!

The Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick Winter range is available from all Rimmel London stockists (like Priceline, Big W and Target) and retails for $12.95. You can also shop the range online here.

Do any of these shades strike your fancy, lovelies?

Much love,
MM.

    1. How lovely, I stopped buying MAC for a couple of reasons, namely their poor customer service and also the fact that the lipsticks were a bit drying!

  2. These look absolutely gorgeous. I have a couple of Kate lipsticks but haven't tried these yet. I love the look of no 103 and 106. I may have to check these out in Priceline :-)

    1. They certainly are, very comfortable to wear too! Can anyone ever have too many? ;)

  11. I have 113 and now I'm wishing I'd picked up more when they were on sale! 113 is probably the most drying out of the lot because it's the lightest (I have to make sure I've exfoliated my lips to the extreme before wearing it!)

    1. I know, I'm having buyer's regret for not buying more too! But it was just too hard getting time off work to get in.

      I have been wondering if there are batch discrepancies, I know that some people have said these are really drying but I actually find them pretty good, and I have chronically dry lips!

  12. In England we don't have 106 which is such a shame because it's gorgeous! We do have 110 though which is my favourite over here- it's a bright red- kind of like 111 butt more orange toned I guess.
    Lovely blog.

    1. It's funny how we don't get the same shades, isn't it?! 110 sounds lovely!

      Thanks for following, I will be sure to check your blog out too! :)

  13. I've never used any of this range before but I really like the look of 113, but I'm so pale so I don't think it would suit me which is a shame!
    Lovely blog :)

    1. Could you get to a tester and try it out?

      Thank you! :)

  14. Nice review! :-)
    The shades are lovely- but I didn't buy one because when I swatched these on the back of my hand, they disappeared very quickly. Maybe I'll reconsider, seeing as you said they last quite well.

    1. Thank you!

      I wonder if there are batch discrepancies, I get really good longevity from these, I've been wearing them quite often!

      Which shade(s) did you try? I find the deeper/brighter ones last much longer on.

  15. I bought 107 recently, OMG! LOVE! Probably one of the sexiest lipsticks I have and the lasting power is excellent. These swatches are gorgeous and now I'm thinking I need 111 too :D
