Rimmel: The Kate Collection

[Pic source: Rimmel London]

I'm no beauty guru, but I just wanted to share my tiny Rimmel by Kate Moss lipstick haul.


I think the packaging is pretty sleek. I like how Kate's signature really pops against the black matte packaging.


I got 3 shades because Boots was having a 3 for 2 deal. Otherwise, these lippies normally cost £5.49 each, which is very reasonable.




*Note: Shade 12 doesn't actually look as orange as it does in the photos. It's slightly redder*


I knew dark red lips don't look good on me, but I just felt adventurous and wanted to try Shade 01. It's a really pretty classic red, but alas, it just doesn't look good with my skintone. I like Shade 08 and Shade 12 a lot and have been using these alternatively.

The lipsticks glide on smoothly and have pretty decent staying power, but I find that it dries out my lips a bit. I just have to remember to put on some lip balm beforehand. What surprised me was that the lipsticks had a sweet scent. I really like the smell as I'm usually not very keen with the ones that have a strong..."lipsticky" smell.

I don't have a very big lipstick collection, but Shade 08 and Shade 12 are definitely my current favourites!

  2. Hey Joey, thanks so much for your comment!! I so didn't know Budapest was divided in two!!! That sounds so amazing!!! I have no idea where we're staying, I'm going with  my mum and her friends you see and I told her since i'm so busy at the moment i'll let them plan everything and i'll just come along, so it's going to be so interesting!!


    I'm not sure on the touristy places but I think we're going with someone who has been before so we'll have a guide! I'm more worried about food! As long as there's nice food then I'll be very happy. I'm not put off by goose liver, i've had weirder things! :) The food sounds really good, so excited! Plus I love Paprika and food with spices!
    I hope there are things to buy like jewellery or clothes, i was so disappointed when i went Tunisia and found nothing was worth buying! Thanks for reminding me, and confirming that there are Spa's over there, that's one thing that I really look forward to!

    I look forward to learning more about its history and will def post some pics on my blog to show you :)I love the lipstick in 08 btw!

  3. Great haul Joey! I hope this collection is available in the States. #1 and 8 look really pretty! That's too bad the red didn't work so well against your skintone though.

  7. Shade 12 is gorgeous! However it must be quite difficult to pull off, even if it's slightly redder than the pics. More than anything I love the packaging though lol, and the prices are pretty reasonable, so I'll probably go check out 01 and 12! :)

  10. I think Shade 01 are for cool tone skin people... if that makes sense haha.


    Wow, the packaging makes it look high end. Might try it in the future. :)

    But yeah, Shade 12 reminds me of my Nyx lipstick in Thalia.

  16. Joey, did you see my post about the universally perfect red lipstick?

    I'm a little bit darker. Being a Filipina myself, and being a Malaysian beauty yourself (both of us Southeast Asian), you can appreciate the searching I've done on this matter... if you looked at the article I referenced, they tried the lip color on an array of races and skin tones and it looked genuinely amazing on every single person who wore it. Try the lipstick I got. You need a true red versus a bluish red or a yellow-y/orange-y red. Orangey red will look better 9 times out of ten, than a bluish red, but a true red will always look good no matter what.

    And if you're scared of the bold hue, just darken it a bit with a bit of brown lip liner blended in. It will take the severity down. Then blot until it's a bit of a stain.

    Trust me. I wouldn't lie to you.

  17. Hello Hello Joey, I know what you mean about classic red lippy, its hard to find it suited to our skin tones. The packaging is pretty cool esp with Kate's stamp

    Sorry for always being super late at replying to your messages: And Yes, I am looking forward to a extremely long lie in bed this weekend. I am so exhausted from the recent happenings on my side. In fact, it's 5 am ish just now, I should probably go back to sleep otherwise I might just kill my biological clock. 

    Have a lovely weekend!
