Product Review: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss (Shade 08)

I’ve been enjoying drugstore lipsticks just as much as high-end lip colors lately. It might just be the spring weather putting me in the mood for cheap-and-chic makeup, or perhaps it’s the fact that mass-market lipstick offerings really are better than ever these days.

I tried a Rimmel lipstick a few years ago and ended up throwing away most of it—that was the Moisture Renew formula, if I remember correctly. However, Rimmel’s Lasting Finish lipstick is another story entirely.

Product Review: LUSH Emotional Brilliance Liquid Lips in Power

I’ve already written about LUSH’s Emotional Brilliance cosmetics collection (see here for an overview) and I’ve reviewed Emotional Brilliance’s Liquid Lips in Perspective, “a natural dusky rose”  (see here). More recently, I’ve tried Liquid Lips in Power, “a striking golden red.” That’s the perfect description: as you can see, it really is a warm, bright red with a golden sheen.
