Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick: 107

Swatches & Review


Since purchasing Rimmel London's Kate Moss lipsticks a few months ago when they had their 50% off sale, I only tried two since I have been trying to use up some lipsticks I already have before opening new ones. I have always wanted to try 107, but it seems like it is more of a Fall shade, which is why I decided to try it now as the end of summer is nearing.

107 is a berry red shade in the tube.

The lipstick is packaged in a plastic semi-matte red tube. The red tube is from the Kate Moss line of Matte finish lipsticks and I like how the package is semi-matte because it does not attract fingerprints so I don't have to whip out the microfiber cloth after using :P

Swatched on the lips, it definitely looks similar to the color straight from the tube. It is a gorgeous berry red and this glided on the lips very smooth. This was super pigmented so I used one swipe from the tube. I did not use any lip liners to see if it bleeds or feathers and it did not, which is good since dark and bright shades usually bleed/feather around my lips. This lasted on me for about four hours with minimal eating and drinking before I had to reapply it. The downside to this is like 109. Although it claims to be matte, it is not very matte. It seems more like a semi-matte finish, which is more matte than their black tube lipsticks, which has a bit of shine to it. Because it is not really matte, it was not very drying on the lips. Another downside to this is the scent. Like 109 and the Show Off/Apocalips Lip Lacquers, they smell just like Asian dried plums, while the black tubes have a sweeter scent, but the scent does not linger around the lips after applying.

Overall, this is a nice berry red lipstick for fall and the holiday season & the price is not too bad (about $5.99 depending on location and store). I wish there were names of the lipsticks instead of just numbers, but I think after a while, the numbers aren't too bad to remember. Rimmel London Kate Moss Lipsticks can be found at some drugstores, and Target/Walmart.

What do you think about Rimmel London's Kate Moss lipstick line? Do you prefer the red tubes, or the black tubes? (I wish they had the pink tubes in the US).

Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick: 109

Swatches & Review


During the month of March, all Rimmel lipsticks are 50% off at Walgreens, so since there was a sale, I purchased eight lipsticks in the beginning of the month. Most of the lipsticks I purchased were from their new Matte Finish line, which are the red tubes..

109 is described as a bright orange.


The lipstick has "Kate ♥" in black on the red tube.

For the first lip picture, I took it in direct sunlight. The other two were taken indoor, with the middle one being in front of the window.
Although the color of the lipstick is described as a bright orange, it shows more like a orange-coral on me.

This is the first lipstick that I have tried from all the others ones I have purchased. Before this, I only owned one Rimmel Lipstick in shade 04 (dark purple). 109 is a nice wearable orange coral, however, it applied very unevenly for me, so you are able to see some patches of my lips that are not covered from the lipstick. It has a sweet scent to it, which reminds me of Asian dried plums (I don't know if that is a good thing), but it fades away after a while. Although it claims to be a "matte finish", I feel like these have a bit of a shine to it. I love the color, but I am not a fan of the application since it applies very patchy. Another thing I wish these had were names because I feel like it is harder for me to remember numbers of lipsticks instead of names.

What do you think about Rimmel's lipsticks? Have you tried any before? Are there any shades that you like?
