Review! Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss in 60 Rossetto


Hey guys! I made a drugstore run today (prepping for some videos!) in search for a berry colored lipstick. Well, I found one! All Rimmel London cosmetics were on sale today at Walgreen's. Rimmel London is not typically a brand that I use, actually. I think I can count on one hand how many products I have from the brand. I've noticed that 90% of their face cosmetics are very light. There are almost not options for medium-deep skin tones. Their blushes and lipsticks have a wide range of colors that would work well on any skin tone. But powders, foundations, BB creams, and concealers from them all fall into the fair-light range. This has kept me away from the brand as a whole.
Today though, I saw them on sale and found the color I really wanted. I've been after a darker fuchsia/berry tone.

Here's a quick swatch with and without flash:


And here's a picture of it on me:
Rimmel claims that it lasts 8 hours and is infused with "Black Diamonds" that "reflect light like no other." Essentially. I like it. It has a lot of flaws, though. I bought it at around 4 pm and applied it at 5pm. My mother and I were going out to dinner. We got to the restaurant at around 6 pm. It totally came off when I ate which I sort of expected. I reapplied around 7. We then went to a shopping center and spent some time walking around, shopping, and talking. The lipstick was just about everywhere but my mouth. In the photo above, I had just gotten home and reapplied because the color was starting to fade closer to the inside of my mouth, and that was at 8 pm.
Basically, you need to prime your lips and apply a no-feathering liner. A regular colored lip liner will not help you with the feathering problem, which was my biggest issue with this lipstick. The color payoff is magnificent but it moves around way to much. It's almost ridiculous. I'm going to keep the lipstick because the color is just amazing. It's a beautiful wine-berry color with just enough velvet sheen. Even the texture is pleasant. It glides on smooth and feel weightless. I'll eventually find a way to stop it from doing the lambada all over my face, but until then I'll probably just stick to MAC and Revlon.
So thanks, Kate...but also, like, no thanks.
