Rimmel The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks

If you read my last blog post you will know that I picked up some new Collection Velvet Kiss Lip Creams which I was quite disappointed with.  If you'd like to read that blog before this one just so you know what I'm talking about, I'll link it here. 

On the same day that I posted that blog I was looking around YouTube and came across a review for Rimmel's The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks.  These are a new collection to the already established The Only 1 Lipsticks which I haven't tried.  I have to admit I did swatch a few of the matte shades when I was in Superdrug buying the Collection Lip Creams but decided against it as I wasn't sure.

I really wish I'd picked these up instead....they are absolutely amazing! They are priced at a very reasonable £4.99 and are currently on offer at Boots for Buy One Get One Half Price.  I picked mine up from Wilkinsons on a 3 for 2 offer but they were slightly higher priced at £6.98.

There are 9 shades in the range and I picked up three of them.  It was so difficult trying to narrow it down but I decided to go for my staples - a nude, a plum and a red!
The consistency of these are just gorgeous.  Soft, creamy and super easy to apply and lets just take a moment to mention the staying power....oh my god....they last.  Not in an uncomfortable drying lip stain way, but a pop it on and forget you're wearing it way!  I think I have to just put it out there and say these are by far my current favourite matte lipsticks.  They have a really nice scent too - not your usual vanilla/cake/sweet scent but almost floral which I love.

The first shade I picked up was 610 High Flyer which is a pinky nude colour.  I don't usually go for this type of nude but was after something a little different to my usual beige nudes and this is just gorgeous.  I applied this at 8.00am and it was still looking fine at 3.00pm after numerous cups of tea and lunch. 
The second shade I have is 810 The Matte Factor which is a deep berry/plum colour.  I did wonder whether this would stay as well as High Flyer being much darker but it absolutely does.  I love this colour for autumn.
The last shade I bought was 500 Take The Stage which is a gorgeous deep red shade.  Again, just like The Matte Factor, it stays put for hours and is just so comfortable to wear.  This will definitely be my go-to Christmas shade (sorry for the dodgy lip selfie...the lighting was just awful).
I honestly can't rave about these lipsticks enough.  They are everything I want in a matte lipstick and at a super affordable price.

Do you have any favourite matte lip products?

November Favourites!

Image
It's been fairly quiet on the "favourites" front this month.  I don't feel like I've really changed much since October in terms of make up and skincare routines.  To be honest, I think Christmas and Birthdays have been taking up a lot of my time and I've resolved to be so better organised this year as I always end up in a complete flap come Christmas Eve. I am still absolutely loving the Rimmel Only 1 Matte Lipsticks and the shade High Flyer has been on my lips pretty much every day.  I won't go into too much detail about these as I did a complete blog post dedicated to them a few weeks ago which I'll link here if you'd like to have a read. Another firm favourite has been the Rimmel Fix and Perfect primer. I really can't describe how nourished it makes my skin feel.  I'm nearly at the end of the bottle and will definitely re-purchase.  This has featured in my October favourites which I'll link here  if you want to have a more de

March Favourites!

Image
Hey everyone, It's official!! It's Spring!! and still flipping freezing cold so my enthusiasm for the two mild days we had earlier this month has well and truly worn off! March has been a quiet month in terms of favourites for me.  Although I seem to have bought quite a few new make up and clothing items I haven't really had a chance to put them to good use.... yet! So here's a quick round-up of the few things I've been reaching for in the month of March: Nestling Oval Make Up Brushes I bought these in January and have really enjoyed using them.  I was sceptical at first and thought they were very gimmicky but they apply my foundation and concealer so effortlessly and I find them almost therapeutic to use.  I bought this set from Amazon and although I've stuck to using mainly the larger ones I am eager to try out the smaller ones for eyeshadow and highlighter. Essence Cosmetics Colour and Care Lipsticks I won't go into too much detail about

September Favourites!

Hey everyone, How are we even in October!! I just can't believe how quickly the year is flying by! I thought I would take this opportunity to gather together a few things that I've been loving in the month of September.  I always find September a bit of a quiet month in terms of make up and skin care as the weather hasn't quite changed and I'm still happy to use my summer products, but here's the ones that I've reached for over and over again... Dr.Organic  Rose Otto Face Scrub I love this range from Dr.Organic.  It's available in Holland & Barrett and I stumbled across it by complete accident at the end of last year.  I absolutely love this face scrub.  It feels quite harsh on the skin when you first use it, but I just use the tiniest bit and rub it gently over my face about three times a week whilst I'm in the shower.  It costs £7.59 and is currently on Buy One Get One Half Price.    Dr.Organic  Rose Otto Lip Serum Another product from
