Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour Review
Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour

Rimmel London launched 14 new Matte Liquid Lipsticks and today I will be reviewing all 14 shades. I recently had the pleasure of trying out a few lipsticks from their Kate Moss collection which I ended up loving. So I was very curious to see how the liquid lipsticks perform in comparison to the Kate Moss lipsticks. Each tube contains 0.21 fl oz and the lipstick tubes are packaged in triangular shaped tubes with a flat doe foot applicator, which makes the application process very easy. There is a strong fruity chemical scent which I'm not a big fan of but after a few minutes it dissipates. The formula is very creamy, it has a mousse like texture, it's highly pigmented, feels comfortable on the lips, it's long-wearing and it's very easy to apply. I often struggle to achieve that perfectly lined lips with liquid lipsticks since they tend to dry rather quickly. However, this was not the case with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Liquid Colours. It doesn't dry immediately so it allows you to take time with the application. The fun part about these lipsticks are the shades, there's a shade for everyone there's even a black and a gray shade Rimmels got everyone covered!

  • Latte To Go- a neutral beige.
  • Moca- a warm brown nude. (my favorite)
  • Be My Baby- a light brown nude a lighter version of Moca. I noticed this went on a bit sheer had to apply a few coats for an opaque finish. 
  • Blush- a light pink.
  • Pink Blink- a dusty rose.
  • Pink Bliss- a rosy shade with a hint of mauve.
  • Rose & Shine- a bright pink.
  • Heartbeat- a bright fuschia.
  • Plum This Show- a deep plum shade. I had a little issue applying this one it was a bit sheer and patchy.
  • Midnight- a vampy wine shade. This was the same as Plum this show applied patchy and couldn't get an even coat.
  • Fire Starter- a beautiful warm orangy red. This applied seamlessly love this one!
  • Blue Iris- a navy blue. This wasn't patchy but it wasn't the smoothest consistency either. 
  • Shadow- a cool toned cement gray.
  • Pitch Black- a black shade. This needed a few coats for an opaque finish. 
Overall
Although some shades lacked in performance I have to say overall these lipsticks are quite nice compared to the price point. I noticed the darker shades were difficult to work with but it can be layered with a lip liner to avoid the patchiness and achieve a good color payoff. I didn't find these lipsticks drying but if you're going to wear liquid lipsticks on a daily basis I strongly suggest you exfoliate your lips weekly and apply a hydrating lip balm. What impressed me the most is the longevity of these liquid lipsticks I mean these last all day long! Once it sets you won't have to worry about reapplying that's the beauty of liquid lipsticks in general but these exceeded my expectations. 

Now it's time for a little giveaway! I will be giving away 5 shades Moca, Plum This Show, Pink Bliss, Blue Iris, and Fire Starter. Entries will be collected from the Giveaway Widget.
