Beauty Review: Rimmel Kate Moss 107 Lipstick

After lusting after this lipstick for what feels like forever, I finally added this lipstick from the Rimmel Kate Moss range to my collection.  After spotting it on Anna a few years ago, every A/W I've been desperate to add it to my collection, and to be honest there wasn't really any reason not to because it's easy to pick up in Boots or Superdrug and it's a bit of a bargain (just over a fiver).  I just never got around to it.  I'm sure you've heard quiiite a bit about this popular shade, but here I am adding my two cents.

Once Autumn rolls around, out come the berry, red and generally deeper shades, and 107 is perfect for that.  It's marketed as a matte lipstick,but it's definitely not a chalky, drying product - it's much more satiny than a serious matte which makes it so much more comfortable to wear.  The matte finish also means it has pretty impressive staying powder.  Even when this little beauty fades, there's no blotchiness or patches here - it fades evenly to a stain which actually looks quite good.  On the other hand you could press this into your lips and wear it was a stain from the beginning.  

The shade is to die for - a deep red with a hint of plum without being so dark that you can't match it with any eye make-up.  Every single weekend since I bought it this had been straight on my lips, I've even been choosing it over my beloved Sephora lip creme!  If you haven't got this yet what are you waiting for? It's a beauty!
