Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick

Hi beauty lovers,

Here's part 3 in my recent lipstick haul review. I unintentionally bought this lipstick being instantly attracted to the vampy plum colour from Rimmel's new Kate Moss collection without realising I had something very similar at home already (which also cost a lot more!), so I've found myself a great dupe!

Read on for more details...

Also a quick note just to let you guys know that our "real lives" are catching up with us a bit, what with assessments and job applications etc so the posts may be a little light but we'll try our best to keep up with at least one new post a week. Apologies for the apparent slackness! I hope you'll all be understanding (or alternatively not care/notice at all!).



I've put the two lipsticks side by side and as you can tell, the colour is almost identical between Rimmel Lasting Finish Matte in 107 and Too Faced Drop Dead Red. The difference however is the finish, with Rimmel quite a matte velvety effect while the Too Faced is much more moisturising and high shine. 

Full review:

Packaging: for a low-end drug store lipstick, I think the packaging is quite simple and classy. Decide for yourself the pictures are above.

Colour: as seen in swatches above. Dark blue-toned red, highly pigmented. 

Formulation: Velvety matte formulation, may not be great for very dry lips (can apply a lip balm under/over). smells mildly sweet and like berries. 

Longevity: Long lasting stain however easily smudges so lip liner is a must (such as Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses lip contouring pencil in 061 Wine - perfectly colour matched). Also wears out after meals so re-application every few hours just to keep it looking pristine

Price: $11.95 (super affordable!)

Overall: Very impressed with this quite inexpensive lipstick (as I have been with all of my other Kate Moss lipsticks in the past). Will definitely go back for some more in the future!

Have any of you tried the Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipsticks? What did you think?

  1. That's a lovely deep red. I always find that using a lip liner helps with the highly pigmented lipstick to prevent it from smudging.
