REVIEW: Rimmel Lasting Finish and Moisture Renew Lipsticks

11 October 2011

The recent additions to my lipstick collection are two Rimmel lipsticks. After being incredibly pleased with the Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish collection, I went back for more!

The Looks

I picked two different shades of two different collections. On the left, a Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade Undressed #240; on the right, a Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade Sweetheart Tulips #215.

The packaging of the Lasting Finish Lipstick is exactly the same is the Kate Moss collection, but just without the little signature on the side. It’s nothing special, although I love the Rimmel symbol on the top of the lid.

On the other hand, the packaging on the Moisture Renew is a lot more attractive. It comes in a metallic purple-ish blue tube and it also has the Rimmel symbol on the top of the lid.

The Contents

‘Undressed’ is a nude brown colour, perfectly neutral and it doesn’t leave your lips looking dead, but gives them just a hint of classy colour. In my simple words, I would describe the lipstick from the Lasting Finish collection as highly pigmented with amazing staying power and a soft feel to the lips; do apply a balm underneath if you have a tendency to get dry patches on your lips. I find that this shade works really well with dramatic eyes and a LBD (little black dress).

‘Sweetheart Tulips’ is a bright pink shade with tiny flecks of shimmer, that are barely noticeable to the naked eye, but it actually creates an amazing effect when photographed. The Rimmel Moisture Renew collection is a lot more moisturising (as the name gives it away!) and nourishing without compromising the colour payoff. I prefer this formulation to the Lasting Finish one because I suffer from dry lips every so often, and they do not look very attractive with un-moisturising lipsticks.

I love how the colours are so rich and unique, and how they go really well together as you can see from the photos. They are both attractive in their own way and I’m ever so glad I bought these lippies!

The Verdict

Overall Marks: I’d give 8/10 to the Lasting Finish Lipstick and 9/10 to the Moisture Renew. Both of them passed the test with flying colours!

Now I want to know what YOU think! Did you like these Rimmel lipsticks? Do you own any of them? If not, would you buy them? As always, leave a little comment below :)

    I’ve heard so much about this lipstick, it really has been a buzz product. The colours looks really strong, which I love, and I like that it is in fact a softening lipstick. Might have to nip to Boots after work :) x

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
