Cheeky sales looming your way? You'll take the opportunity, I'd say!
(Well that's what I did).

In this post, I'll be imparting with you some Rimmel London lip and eye products from my recent haul.


First up we have the lovely lipsticks, the Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss lippies in the shades, #111 Kiss of Life, #106 and #101. I fell in love with the sassy red packaging, and being fond of matte formulas when it comes to lipsticks, I had to pick these up.


#111 Kiss of Life is a beautiful, bright classic red that compliments most skin tones. This is my favourite shade out of the bunch; perfect for those special occasions like on a dinner date for example.

#106 is a brilliant deep pink. I call this shade the more flirtatious and younger sister of #111 Kiss of Life. Appropriate for most occasions and a great bold alternative to the classic red.

#101 is a cool tone pale mauve-pink that looks beautiful swatched but once applied on my pigmented lips, makes me look a bit washed out. But with the addition of colour to my face, I think I can pull this off. My sister and friend think otherwise. This shade has the most drying formulas out of the trio; the product settles into the fines, distastefully emphasising them. I suggest exfoliating the lips and applying a moisturising lip balm or plumping product prior to application.

The formulae of these matte lipsticks can be a bit drying but it is also dependent on the shade of the lipstick. Great pigmentation and if you're a fan of fruity, artificial melon scents, then this one's for you.
On the downside, this product is definitely not "kiss-proof"; if you're planning to get frisky with a boy, I suggest using another lip product, as this lipstick transfers very easily.


Ah, the highly spoken, Apocalips Lip Lacquers. I picked up the shade #500 Luna on asos after observing its absence in Australian stores. This is a beautiful peachy coral colour leaning more towards the orange side. Initially, I was very excited to try this product out after reading numerous posts raving on what a great pigmented lip gloss this was. Well, based on my own experiences, this has got to be possibly the worst lip gloss I've tried. The colour is highly pigmented swatched on my arm but once applied on the lips, oh my... The finish is non uniform in appearance. This lip product is excellent in accentuating my lips in the most unsightly manner; it clings onto dry patches (I didn't know I had), did not adhere to my lips properly and sinks into lip lines. Adding to much product on made my lips look like I had a viscous peach coloured slime slapped on - very unflattering and tacky, and of course sticky.
This product is the first product I've tried to appreciate; I've given up and I think the formula is a huge failure. Likewise to the Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss lipsticks, you can expect the same melon scent in this product.
