Hey all, I'll admit I'm sometimes a sucker for a celebrity endorsement (not often though), and I was drawn to the Rimmel and Kate Moss lipstick collaboration. Mainly for the colours of course - they promise to be creamy, moisturising and highly pigmented.
I would say they deliver in all three areas, the shades I have, all apply like a dream, they are non drying and don't cling to any dryer areas (the nude shade does need to be applied on completely smooth lips and with a lighter concealer base if you have dark coloured lips naturally) they are very opaque and have amazing strong colour payoff which can be blended out for a more sheer colour wash.

The nude shade is almost my perfect nude as it has a slight pink undertone to it - but can look a little washed out with it if I haven't done my face fully. Shade 03 was sent as part of a competition win - it's a bold orange/red and sadly doesn't suit my pale complexion at all! Shade 03, and 12 were from the original release collection and shade 16 is from the more recent launch of new 'spring' shades. Shade 16 is a lovely, wearable light peach/pink shade - it leans a little too peachy for me if I use it straight from the bullet - but if I dab lightly and blend I can get away with it! These are excellent quality for the price - which is usually around £5 (less than half price of your average MAC lipstick), they are sturdy yet creamy, and the packaging feels sleek and nice and solid. The tubes also stay clean which is a bonus - as some lipstick cases have a 'rubberised' finish which seems to pick up every speck of powder and dust and end up looking horrid. Anyway. overall a thumbs up for colour, consistency and feel - the only downside is that they don't have particularly great staying power (like most lipsticks) but a little goes a long way and reapplication isn't really a chore ;)
