5 Minute Review - Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick By Kate Nude Collection

It's "jump on the good old bandwagon time" to try out the new Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss - Nude Collection.

There has been a LOT of hype around this launch and I was very excited to pick up two shades. There are 3 more shades in the range, but these were the 2 tones I felt would best suit my colouring. 

So the lipstick claims to offer neutral shades, soft and creamy colors which are universally flattering suiting every skin tone. 

I must say I was skeptical about using a nude shade, being so fair, but these are really beautiful. At first, if you're like me, you won't be too sure, but once you get used to the nude tone, it is incredibly flattering, as promised and looks really nice and natural - unlike many other nude lipsticks on the market which can make you look like you've rubbed concealer on your lips! 

No. 42 is for cool undertones. Shades 42 and 45 are incredibly similar, but 45 has more of a pink to it, making it ideal for neutral undertones (42 on the left).

The lipsticks smell like an old fashioned lipstick (which I love). They are creamy to apply, not patchy, provide a nice even colour and they are pretty long wearing even though not claiming to be (you would have to reapply after eating/drinking). 

42 on the top, 45 on the bottom 

Though initially thinking this would only be a day lipstick, I'm quite surprised to note that I will likely wear this for a night out tonight teamed with a brown smokey(ish) eye. Love it! 

Have you picked up any of the collection? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below :-)
