Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss # 08 and 10-Review, Photos, Swatches




Company/Brand Claim: The 1st lipstick collection created by Kate Moss. High intensity color for up to 8 hours. Formula infused with black diamonds, reflects light like never before. Captures all the flair, edge and timelessness of Kate's unique look.
For Skin Type: All

Packaging: There are two types. A matte black tube and a matte red tube. Both have Kate's signature printed on the cap. 
Product Coverage: Medium to Full

Formulation: Cream 


Finish: Cream and Matte

Texture and Feel: Both glide on quite smoothly.   

Colors:  
# 08: Is a creamy warm mauve pink.
# 10: A striking matte red.

Fragrance: Both have a pleasant mild creamy smell. 

Application: Like a regular lipstick.

Result: Lipsticks happen to be one of my favorite products from Rimmel. First I bought the Lasting Finish lipstick in the shade undressed (read review) which I still use to this day and next I bought one of the Kate Moss ones. There's not much a of a difference in the price but I think I prefer the Kate ones more. I bought # 10 first which is a seductive, bright matte red. It's absolutely beautiful and will conquer a makeup look on its own. One swipe releases a lot of color and a few more cover the lips with ease. If you apply it over a chap stick it slightly shines otherwise turns out matte. It's suitable for all skin types and specially wearable for fall. 
The not so good part is that it transfers a lot. It's almost never dry and will stain everything it comes across. One other thing I noticed is that it will cause a cloudy hue around the lips during summers and will transfer on the chin at times (God knows how). So I always need to check on my lips and clean up if it happens. 
I bought # 08 recently which is a cream formula and a nice everyday warm pink, suitable for all skin tones. It's a must have for working ladies. It will transfer more color if worn alone but over a chap stick, it tends to lighten a bit. It's very similar to my natural lip color which made with wish I'd gone for some other shade when I tried it on for the first time.  
Staying Power: #10 fulfills the claim. It stayed on my lips for almost 8 hours whereas, # 08 lasted hardly for 2 hours. 

Times Tested: # 10 several times and #08 3 times.

Cons: If only # 10 didn't stain badly and # 08 would stay on longer, I would've given them that extra point. 

Anything Else: - 

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss comes in 3 collections. The black tubes are the Lasting Finish Collection in 15 shades. Then there's a Lasting Finish Matte Collection, which comes 10 shades in red tubes. Later Rimmel introduced the Kate Spring Collection which consists of 5 shades in black tubes.

Rating: 4/5 for both

Take it:
You're looking for quality lipstick
You like the color range
You want a matte or cream finish
You're into red lipsticks
You want to wear it to work
Leave it:
You can't stand the color transfer
The colors are too bold for your liking

Price: Rs. 850/-  and Aed 42

Available at: 
Pakistan: Rimmel counters and super stores across Pakistan.
UAE: Rimmel counters across UAE and Boots pharmacies. 
International: - Ulta.com, Wallgreens and Target

Alternatives:  Luscious Cosmetics ultra moisturizing lipsticks are an alternate.

Conclusion: The color range is beautiful. If the brand could only work on the quality issue, the rating can go much higher. Recommended? Yes.
