I wanted a lipstick that would look natural on me for everyday wear. I read the reviews for this shade on makeupalley that it suits warm toned skin so I bought it to give it a try. This is my first Rimmel lipstick since this brand is not really available here so I just got this on ebay.

The color is really nice and natural as expected, it’s a bit sheer so I think the staying power would be not quite good. You would need to reapply after eating.

I definitely adore it! It actually makes my lips look healthy and soft and it feels that way too. I think it would look great with any blush/bronzer color that I have. I could say that this would a great everyday lip color especially those time when you’re in hurry and you don’t know which to pick you won’t go wrong with this shade since it looks natural.

There are only 2 things I don’t like about it, the fragrant smell and the staying power. Still I would be buying again if ever I ran out I just hope that when I do ran out I would still be available for me to buy.

Side note:

I won’t be writing much here anymore since I’ve sort of grew out of my ‘make up phase’ already (before I would buy 2 or 3 new cosmetics a week). I prefer natural looks at the moment powder foundation, light blush and lipstick…. and sometimes eyeliner. I don’t  use much eye shadows anymore or mascara…. I’m into phones right now (flashing, upgrading, hacking, personalizing, etc.) I have 3 units right now Nokia N82, N73 and 7360(this was Bella’s phone on Twilight! LOL ^_^). I’m also having fun with my family’s phones as well. What a switch huh? So I would probably be writing about other things as well.

 

Rimmel Blush in Apricot December 10, 2008

This is the most recent blush I’ve bought and the only reason I purchased it was because it was cheap. I’ve read about reviews about this particular blush in makeupalley and some have compared it Nars Orgasm. I’ve never used or tried N.O. nor I was planning to because I knew with my skintone it wouldn’t really show. So w.t.h. I went and bought this one anyway. My first initial reaction when I got this was ‘…okay this is too light.’ The next day I went out and tried it with my Blusche blush brush. I was correct it barely showed up on me, but when I smiled there very nice shimmers and it naturally enhanced my cheek bones and I did a 180 turn and decided that this is a cool blush. I’m not into the ‘au naturelle’ makeup look so I combine this with my Jordana Sienna blush which is a matte tan shade, with this two mixed it gives a nice light bronzy glow which I can’t seem to imitate with my other bronzers.

Packaging is not so nice. The lid is flimsy and if you try to bring this blush out with you and place it in your makeup pouch there’s a huge possibility that it’s gonna come off and  when that happens, say hello to ‘mess’. I might not repurchase even if it comes available again to me, I do prefer peachy reds/pinks/browns as blush color.


 

Rimmel Mono Eyeshadow in Moonstone November 16, 2008

This is my very first Rimmel eyeshadow. Moonstone is a shimmery white eyeshadow that can be used as a highlighter. I love the shimmer of this eyeshadow because it’s not glittery. The texture of the powder is really nice and it’s not chalky at all. Staying power is great it lasted on me for more than 10 hours. Pigment is good as well with or without base. I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing but I would like to try out other shades as well.


 

Rimmel Extreme Definition Two-Tone Eye Definer in London Girl November 15, 2008

This is currently my favorite eyeliner. On one end is a nice metallic olive green and on the other end is a beautiful dark forest green that’s almost black. Whenever I wear just black matte eyeliners I feel it’s too fierce looking on me I can’t wear it in the day time. This one I can use any time of day with any type of eyeshadow color. Staying power is really good because it lasts for more than 8 hours on me. I can’t say I’ll repurchase again because I already bought a back up. I love this and will continue to buy as long as it’s available. I bought this on Ebay.ph for P100,  a good deal since this is not locally available here in the Philippines.
