I've decided I'm going to do a review on all my lip products and I've grabbed a couple lipsticks lying around.
One of them is Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in 440 Plumful. I would say it has amazing pigmentation and perfect shade.
Dark shade lipsticks usually get too brown or too red and makes you look either too gothic or too garish.
This is the perfect shade for me as and has good color payoff. A few swipes from the bullet and I'm good to go.
For reference, I am Mac NC25-30 with yellow undertones.
It's moisturizing and does not settle or crease and does not leave a ugly brown rim around your lips after it fades.
I have a huge problem with its scent and packaging though. For one, it smells like the Nivea products. Strong and um, flowery? Just a heady fragrance that makes me gag when I put on the lipstick and/or when I accidentally ingest some of it (inevitable with lipsticks, okay). So disappointing! It would be my favorite lipstick if not for that nasty smell.
With the packaging, the ugly neon purple and tacky plastic bullet is a bit too...80s for me. P has told me its for teenagers looking for cheap makeup to experiment with. That does not excuse the ugly packaging so, no, thank you.
I would say it is on par with other high end brands (in terms of creaminess and pigmentation only) and color is similar to the Tom Ford Orchid Black, although that has a purple undertone and this is red.
If not for the smell and taste, I would definitely repurchase but I'd give it a
Rating: 5/10
I got it from a drugstore (I think Guardian). Its S$17-20.
My nicer lipsticks are next!
