PRODUCT REVIEW x SWATCH: Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick 08

I'm back from my week long vacation and I'm also back in school. But I wanted to do a quick post and share with you my current favorite everyday lipstick :) It's the Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish 08. I also got 01, the red lipstick Kate, yes we're on a first name basis, is wearing on the ad but that's for a later post ;)

Kate Moss Signature

Honestly, the Rimmel website is a bit frustrating as it merely shows you a picture of the swatches which you can't even zoom in on. I don't think we have Rimmel here in Manila so I had to do a bit of research to find the most suitable color for me.

For all you queens :) Here's what the website has to say about the Lasting Finish Lipstick: Rimmel’s cult classic Lasting Finish Lipstick has been redefined with Kate’s glamorous style. A collection of 9 striking shades is now infused with Black Diamond. This unique formula boasts light-reflecting power – adding depth to every pout so that you ooze the same confidence and impact on entry as Kate.

Kate has made her mark on this collection in every last detail. The chic matte black pack has captured her staple rock’n’roll fashion. Her runway know-how teamed with red carpet experience and in-studio spotlight are all energised into creating the perfect lipstick shades. And only at this point does she seal each with her signature.

Get a kiss from Kate with her Lasting Finish Lipstick Collection.

Used already :D The above is a picture of my already used lipstick. Isn't it so frustrating when you accidently hit the tip of your lipstick and have to bear with it?! Often happens with clumsy me :/

One of the things Nikki Bogardus told me at my colour analysis was that as a Bright Winter, I need sparkle and bling. As the budget isn't going to stretch to real gemstones any time soon, I've been scouring Etsy for good Swarovski pieces. 

I found these earrings at www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JewellerySmith. Sapphire blue Swarovski crystal drops are individually wrapped with silver wire and attached to delicate silver chains. They cost £22.95, and £2 for postage in the UK. JewellerySmith is based in the UK, so there is no risk of being stung by Customs charges either. 

Here they are worn. The drop length and colour/sparkle are absolutely perfect. I've worn the heck out of these, so I've just bought myself a red pair from the same jeweller, and I've enquired about the possibility of other colours.
