I have loved the Kate Moss lipstick range from Rimmel London ever since they came out a few years ago. As much as I love MAC lipsticks, I just find the Kate range so affordable and the colours are just ah-mazing. I'm going on holiday next month and I'll definitely be taking a couple of these with me!
There are 5 new shades; 34: Baby pink, 35: Bubblegum pink which is slightly violet, 36: Hot pink, 37: Coral, 38: Nude. I am in love with shades 36 and 37 as the colours are stunning and super pigmented! Another reason why I really love the Kate range is because they are under the Lasting Finish* range which means they stay on slightly longer than the average lipstick and they are quite moisturising. I've always found them quite similar to MAC's creamsheen lipstick range. As you can see they are all stunning summer colours - however if you have Asian skintone - I would steer away from shades 34 and 38 as they can wash you out.
So last week I made a little MAC order and picked up Velvet Teddy & Blankety. Absolutely in love with both of these shades, I haven't stopped wearing them since last week!
So Blankety is a beaut creamy nude colour and reminds me a little of Pure Zen. It's really hard for us Asian girls to pull of nudes as they can really make us look like our lips dissolved into our faces, this is probably the lightest we can go without looking washed out. I don't think this lipstick is an all-rounder which would suit everyone, so I recommend you go into a MAC store and try a sample before purchasing. Things I love: the consistency, the creamy texture and longevity this lipstick. Love, love, love.
Low & behold, where do I start with Velvet Teddy? Velvet Teddy is a matte browny pink shade which makes you wanna relive the 90s. This shade is life, I can't believe I never tried this sooner. Velvet Teddy has a matte finish but doesn't dry your lips out at ALL! If you haven't tried Velvet Teddy before, I advise you all to go and purchase this one! Now it's clear why this is always out of stock! Sabi x
