Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick Swatches + Review

I've been lusting over Rimmel's Lasting Finish Lipsticks by Kate Moss. After discovering the wonderful world of lipsticks, I cant help but convince myself that I MUST own all lipsticks and try each and every one. It comes as no surprise then that the popular choice would be with Rimmel's Lipsticks. The overall range and quality of Rimmel far exceeds any expectations of a typical 'drugstore' brand. Their foundations, powders and eye and lip pencils are top quality and thus it seems as no surprise that their lipsticks be the same. 

The first lipsticks I was eager to swatch and try were their new Lasting finish matte and spring collection. These come in red and black tubes respectively. 

The first I swatched were the Lasting Finish Spring Collection Lippies. These are in black tubes. 
From left to right- 022, 019, 016, 026

022 is a fantastic vibrant red, perfect for those of you who are brave and bold. 019 is a mauve type colour, 016 a coral-y pinky colour and 026 a nude with pink undertones. These retail for $11.68 (Big W) in Australia and are rather creamy and only need one swipe for adequate opacity. 

The second lot I swatched were the Last Finish Matte Collection Lippies. These come in the bright red tube.
From top to bottom: 113, 103, 106, 111, 107, 112 

113 is a light pink colour. 103 is a brighter pink colour. 106 is an even more brighter pink. 111 is a vibrant red (love this colour!). 107 is a deeper berry red and 112 is a browny red. these also only needed one swipe for full opacity and were also very creamy however not as matte as I would expect!

Next I swatched some of the original Lasting Finish Lipsticks. 

From left to right: 010, 009, 012, 007, 014

010 is a bright red similar to 111 above. 009 is a berry red. 012 is a bright coral colour (love this one!). 007 is a pinky nude perfect for medium skin tones. 014 is more of a browny nude and is lighter than 007. 

to see the difference between the two latter nudes (007, 014). I personally love both!

I then swatched the original Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks. These are very creamy and come in a purplish tube different from the three previous line's packaging I just swatched. 

From top to bottom: Berry Queen 400, Funtime Fuchsia 320, Vintage Pink 180, Fancy 210

Berry Queen is a true berry colour. Funtime Fuchsia is a true pink colour. Vintage pink is a browny colour (did not show up well on camera) and fancy is a frosty light pink (not so keen on this one!). 

Finally I swatched the Lasting Finish Intense wear lipsticks. From top to bottom- Asia 077, Heather Shimmer 220, Alarm 170, Birthday Suit 250. 

Asia is a pinky browny colour. Heather Shimmer is a more brown than pink colour with a slight hint of shimmer. Alarm is a bright red colour. Birthday suit is a brown coffee colour also with a slight hint of shimmer. 

All up these lipsticks are good value for money and are incredibly creamy and pigmented. Well done Rimmel! (and Kate moss!). 

*Note there are some colours I failed to swatch either for absence of testers or I just wasnt particularly interested or I owned the colour already! Apologies for this! 

Cheers
