Makeup Review

Rimmel Kate Moss 

I have been looking for a really pretty red lipstick for a very long time, nothing too dark and nothing too subtle. I had heard great things about the Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick line so I did some swatches in Boots and fell in love with one from the matte collection in the colour 110. It is a pink undertoned red and it's very vibrant! It also smells like watermelons which is always a plus!


I really like this lipstick! I find the colour lasts a very long time and only really wears off when eating or drinking. I do find, however that it's a little drying to the lips so definitely apply a lip balm or something 5-10 minutes before applying this as I tend to do with most lipsticks anyway. I also really like the packaging as it doesn't look cheap at all and I love that it's red! Overall, a great lipstick and really good value for money at only £5.49!

It is a lot brighter and less orange than the picture but this is just the way my camera picked up the colour, sorry!

Makeup Review

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder

Massive apology for the lack of posts, I've been so busy over the holidays and had no time to blog, sorry!

So I recently ran out of the pressed powder I had been using and I was up for something new. I'd heard loads of great things about the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder so I went ahead and bought it at Boots for only £3.99. I got mine in the colour 'Peach Glow' and it think its a pretty good match!



First of all, I really like this powder! It's sets my makeup really nicely and holds it in place for a lot longer. It also keeps my face matte for a couple of hours before I need to reapply which is really good because the skin around my nose gets really oily throughout the day. I also like how it doesn't add too much extra colour to your face so you don't need to fret too much if the colour looks a bit dark or light for your skin.
I definitely recommend this product as its great value for money and 100% the best powder I've used!
