Rimmel London's Only 1 Matte Lipstick

A new generation of matte lipsticks have hit the shelves of the beauty aisles in the form of Rimmel London's The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks* which claim 'high coverage and big impact colour'  with 'a non-drying formula'. Have they hit the mark on this one? Read on to find out...


Lets start with the shades, initially I was slightly concerned about the size of the shade selection, with there only being nine shades on offer. However Rimmel have done a pretty good job. There are some amazing nude shades which I think anyone could pull off. There is also a few gorgeous reds, a couple of pinks, a daring purple and a lovely wintery burgundy.

Top to Bottom The Matte Factor, Look Who's Talking, Run the Show, High Flyer,Salute, Trend Setter, Leader of the Pink, Call the Shots and Take the Stage.

 I think I'm slightly indifferent to the outer packaging. Although I do like that there is a strip of colour around the base of the product as this makes it so much easier to find the shade you are looking for, rather than up turning lipsticks in search of the perfect shade! In terms of practicability it is very good packaging, the lipsticks are sturdy enough to be thrown in hand bags and the product itself sits next to the bullet casing, I would have loved to have seen a matte black outer casing as I think this would have given the product a more high-end feel to it! 


On to the formulation, I am in love with this formula. The consistency is creamy and is easy to apply, it comes out more of a satin finish and then dries down to a matte finish, which makes working with this product so much easier! The colour pay off is also pretty good, I found 'Look who's talking' required a few coats to get a full colour, however the rest of the shades all had beautiful colour pay off in one swipe.


Now the all important feel of the lipstick. We all know that 3 o'clock feeling when your matte lipstick has literally sucked any moisture out of your lips, well I can say I didn't find this with the Only 1 Matte collection. The lipsticks felt light weight on my lips, and didn't cause the 3 oclock crack. I think this is a lipstick range that everyone should give a go, they're amazingly priced (£4.99!) with a quality which is second to none!

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Away Concealer Review

Image
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that I absolutely love. However not being near to a store can sometimes make me a little hesitant to purchase online. The products I have managed to pick up in store are 100% keepers in the makeup bag. Both the Magic Foundation and the Light Wonder Foundations are products that I think are fantastic - ended up with shade 3 for both foundations. Although my magic foundation is pretty much empty now.  However you’re all here to read a review on the New Magic Away Concealer*. Concealers are products I just forget to invest in. I am literally that girl that rushes into boots a week before payday to pick up something ‘that’ll do’. So it is definitely nice to try something that hasn't been picked up in my lunch break.  First off the packaging – all packaging from CT if fabulous, it definitely gives off 1920s vibes. There is a window to view how much of the product is left – a handy feature if you don’t mind me saying. I also love the little

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Image
Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I
