Drugstore Stars | Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate

As a champion of drugstore makeup and a secret lipstick hoarder, I have without a doubt tried my fair share of high street lip products. From Maybelline to Max Factor, satin to matte and balm to stain, I have trailed them all and want to share the lipsticks that I crown as best at the drugstore. I already dedicated a post to my love of the luxurious Revlon Super Lustrous, now I want to talk all about the equally amazing and even more of a bargain Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Moss.



These lipsticks are intensely pigmented with a rich, long-lasting colour all for a wallet friendly £5.49. The formula is infused with black diamonds that reflect the light to create a stunning, multi-tonal shine. The lipstick is available in 13 mesmerising shades, ranging from soft nudes to deep berry-toned reds and bright pinks. It is also available in 4 matte shades, which create the perfect velvety finish and mean that there is truly an option to suit everyone. 

The first I ever bought from this range was in fact from the matte collection, shade 107 a gorgeous deep red. This comes in a red bullet with a slanted top that is stamped with the Rimmel London crest and Kate’s signature is spiralled across the lid. I adore these bullets; they are smooth, weighty and are a stunning addition to any makeup collection.

These have an incredible wear time, although as they are matte they can dry out your lips. However this is easily fixed by simply wearing a nourishing lip balm before and after you wear this gorgeous shade. 

The main line of the Lasting Finish Lipsticks come in a black version of the same sleek bullet. They are intensely moisturising, amazingly pigmented and wear well with only the odd touch up needed throughout the day. 

(Shade: 30)

As a lover of the classic red lip, I was powerless to resist the shade 30 when I spotted it amongst the Rimmel display and it swiftly became my favourite dark lip. This is a stunning wine red with berry undertones.

One of my favourite nude lipsticks is also a member of the Lasting Finish collection; the shade 03 is the perfect balance between a pink and brown toned nude. The slight pink undertone stops this from being too light and causing you to look ill, but rather creates the perfect moisturised shine for a ‘your lips but better’ finish. 

(Shade: 08)

A final and long-time favourite of mine is the shade 08, a gorgeous mauve tone that adds a slightly darker colour to your lips without being overly obvious. This is the perfect shade for day or night and one that I have adorned endlessly since I purchased.

I really believe that for little more than a fiver you receive an amazing product and I hope you all enjoyed this mini review of the Lasting Finish Lipsticks. I would love to hear what you think in the comments below as well as your favourite drugstore brands. I read and appreciate all of your comments.
