RIMMEL LONDON: Lasting finish by Kate Moss

Hiya guys, so I recently purchased Kate Moss' Lasting Finish lipstick in the colour 01. I'll begin positively by saying that it is a steal for the price, it retails at £5.49!!! But looks as though it is worth a lot more. The packaging really stands out from other Rimmel lipsticks for me, this one looks classy and very high end, the matte black finish and Kates' signature. Very simplistic but really nice! 

Now as for the actual lipstick, the colour is a very classic, deep red. I honestly bought it immediately and wore it the same night. 

Im not too sure why, but I was under the impression that this lipstick had a matte finish, (far from it). It promises high intensity colour: CHECK! Lasts up to 8 hours: not so much, I didn't get through 30 minutes without having to reapply it. I honestly do not know if I'm messy or its the lipstick but it transfers on everything! My hand, my clothes, my drink, the cab. At the end of the night I looked in the mirror to find it all over my chin! Haha

Sigh, even though I love the packaging and the colour, It is NOT easy to wear, other people may not have this problem, but I find that a matte lipstick is more durable, and I was looking for a cheaper alternative to MAC's Ruby Woo, but I will have to keep looking... 

PROS: 

- Very good value for money

- Packaging looks high-end worthy

- Provides high intensity colour 

- Very pigmented 

- Great for a statement look

CONS:

- Very messy, not good for clubbing!

Thanks so much for reading :) 

NEW PURCHASE!!!: NARS Sheer Glow Foundation

Hey Guys, so I finally made the decision to buy the Nars sheer glow foundation. It has honestly taken me 2-3 months to decide whether or not I want this foundation. I've been colour matched twice by a really lovely lady in the Kingston Bentalls centre concession, and today she finally managed to convince me to buy it, (this wasn't easy as this foundation is quite expensive, retailing at £30.50 for 30ml bottle.) The foundation itself has a very light consistency, it doesn't weigh down on the skin. Its buildable, so depending on what you feel like that day/night, its perfect to suit your every mood. I would just apply this with my fingers as it looks more natural this way, and finish it with a translucent powder. 

PROS:

- I love the look of the bottle, it's sleek and simple but so elegant. 

- Good colour range, (20 colours) I got my foundation in the colour New Orleans and its a perfect match. 

- Dewy finish

- Doesn't make me look oily, (Even though I have a very oily t-zone)

CONS: 

- It doesn't come with a pump, you have to buy this separately. The pump retails for £3 however they had just ran out of pumps when I bought my foundation, (:( so I'm pumpless) 

- Expensive! haha, but hopefully worth it!

- Doesn't mention that it contains SPF anything, (tut tut Nars) 

- Works very well when accompanied with other Nars products, however do not let this deter you from buying it. I just personally find that when you apply the Multi Protect Primer and finish with their Loose setting powder you will achieve optimum results! howeverrrrr, because it is expensive I will just have to do without for now and hope for the best :) 

I shall keep you updated! Thanks so much for reading xxx
