Anyone that knows me can tell you that I am known for my lipstick, especially pink coloured lipstick! Just recently I have been quite fed up with the lipsticks that I own as no matter which brand I buy or how cheap or expensive they may be, after about an hour it has worn off and leave a horrible line across my lips making it look like I actually have dry lips when I really don't. Ive tried so many different lipsticks and I have wasted a lot of money on them thinking back.
I had something new in mind, and after seeing them advertised and seeing lots of pictures of the different shades on Instagram I decided to go straight to Boots at the weekend and purchase some Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour!
So what are these all about?
These are lip stains. Rimmel claims there is "up to 16 Hours of lip liberation. Wild without a trace!' The lip glosses are said to be "kiss proof, transfer proof, food proof [and are a] high impact endless colour.''
*quotes taken from Rimmel London Uk*
There are two ends to the lipgloss, one end being the actual lip colour which is step 1 and the other a lock & shine which is step 2 of the application. There are 8 shades available in these gorgeous lip glosses… The ones I went for are:
Top: 230 -Kiss Fatal - Rimmel - £6.99
Bottom: 310- Little Minx - Rimmel - £6.99
I chose to buy mine from Boots so items are linked to there, but there are other shops that stock these which you can find about about here.
As mentioned above, the Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour is available in 8 different shades. I chose the shades above just to be a little different as I always stick to pink lipstick and I only really tend to wear red when I go out on a night out. Upon first seeing these I was a little sceptical as we have all heard the "it lasts for so many hours" talk when most of the time they don't, but I was ready to try them out!
Step 1 Kiss Fatal Lip Colour
Step 2 Lock & Shine
I was really nervous in purchasing this Kiss Fatal shade as it is like a really dark purple, but straight away it makes me think of the dark months coming so a little warmth on the lips may be perfect! I worse this shade for the first time on Sunday and I absolutely loved it! Heres a photo of me wearing it (this photo also appears on my last blog post which you can find here)
The photos above really don't do this colour justice. Its such a lovely dark and deep purple and it just reminds me of vampires! To apply you use the colour which is step 1 then lock it in with a shine which is step 2. The photos above are only using step 1 as I have not yet tried this product with the gloss (step 2) over it. I would definitely recommend this shade, its just gorgeous and thats coming from me who usually sticks to the same shade over and over again without daring to be different! From applying this on Sunday morning it was safe to say that by Sunday night the colour was still intact and I hadn't had to re-apply it at all! In fact when I took all my makeup off this lip colour was still on! This is fab for me and I was really impressed!
Step 1 Little Minx Lip Colour
Step 2 Lock & Shine
Today I have worn this shade to work. When I applied it this morning I expected it to be a really bright pink as just like on the photos above it does seem to be that colour, but when I put it on I noticed it was more of a reddish colour. This aside I still absolutely loved it! I applied this lip colour at 7.00am this morning and it lasted all throughout the day and it is now almost 8pm and it still looks as good as ever and once again I haven't had to re-apply it! Ive had quite a few comments today from people saying how bright this actually is and what a lovely colour it is! Like the other shade I have yet to try this with step 2 of the product (the gloss) but I'm sure it just adds even more glam!
Both of these cost £6.99 each and they are SO worth the money! Im super happy that I chose these and I will most definitely be buying so more of the shades on payday! I can't believe how well and how long these actually stay on for its amazing! Such bright and beautiful colours, and I'm sure they're also 'kiss proof' although I'm yet to try that!! At the minute at Boots they currently have an offer on where if you spend over £10 on Rimmel products you get a free gift. I chose the following:
I haven't yet tried this product but considering its a saving of £4.99 I'm also chuffed with this and it looks like it could be good! There are lots of different products you can choose from the line when you purchase the Rimmel Provocalips 16HR Kiss Proof Lip Colour products.
Are you daring enough to try any of the shades above?
