Get the deep purple look…

Posted in Lips by

I was recently inspired by Tilly Devines choice of lip colour in the new Underbelly Razor, deep purples and deep reds applied in the style of the time. Being a red girl myself I thought I would venture out of my fashion shell and go for a deep purple.

Now to let you in on some news, I have NEVER worn a colour like this before, sure I have applied it to many people but, never on myself! I have always really stuck to what I know works best for me, scared of making a big makeup blunder. Knowing this about myself I really did not want to spend a lot of money on a lipstick that I may never wear again and one that just might sit at the bottom of my makeup bag for all eternity.

We recently had the chance to try out a couple of the new Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipstick for Rimmel London, which were pretty impressive. I knew there was a deep purple lipstick in the collection (number 11) so I headed out to Priceline to grab mine, and lucky I left when I did because there where only two left in the display! Other Tilly Devine makeup stalkers like me perhaps?

I applied the colour as soon as I got home, anxious to see if I could pull it off. Sadly, I don’t think I did, the colour itself though is Devine (pun intended, ha). It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I have never worn a colour like this on myself before, I am sure if I continue to wear it I will get used to it. I hope so because I just adore this look so much. Maybe I will wear it out at night first to ease my way into it.

 

When applying a lipstick colour like this one always go slowly, one little mistake is so noticeable and not always easy to remove. Stay inside your natural lip first and then decide if you want to take it a bit fuller. The great thing about a colour like this one is it will stand out and make a statement so make sure your eyeshadow is not that out there or you could end up looking like a scary clown.

RRP: $11.95, available from Priceline, Kmart, Target, Big W, Coles supermarkets & selected pharmacies.

Want to Get the London look?

Last Wednesday night we were lucky enough to attend a Rimmel London event to celebrate Kate Moss 10 year collaboration with the brand, I really cannot believe it has been 10 years! The one advert that always comes to my mind when I think of Kate Moss and Rimmel is the one for Volume Flash Mascara where she rides a motor bike through the streets of London. Rimmel always comes up with such great ads to sell their products and you can never forget the catch phase “Get the London Look”. We had such a great night celebrating (and maybe drinking a few delish cocktails, Vodka and Blueberries anyone?) we wanted to share a few pics from the night.

Now it wasnt all fun and games, we were also there to get a sneak peek at Kate Moss first ever signature lipstick collection created by Kate herself for Rimmel. The collection appropriately named The Kate Collection contains 7 shades varying from bright pinks, reds, coral and nudes, you are bound to find one that suits your skin tone and attitude.

After the event we were excited to take home a Rimmel London pack containing one of Kate’s Lasting Finish lipsticks.

The lipstick we received was number 11, a deep red (you cannot imagine how happy I was to get the red colour, I can’t get enough of red lippy). The lipsticks glides on well and the colour pops straight away, it is a very rich red and is a great colour to wear out during the day or night. Sometimes I find with certain brands of lipstick the colour that comes out on your lips is not always the same as it looks in the stick. The colour lasted well, after eating lunch it was still as bright as ever. I didn’t really need to apply for about 2 hours, by that time my lips did feel slightly dry.

In our awesome goodie bag we also received the Extra Wow Lash mascara in Extreme Black. I have to say this mascara is pretty god dam amazing, it is lash building and really defines your lashes making them fuller and longer. The brush  is oversized making it easy to create volume, you can apply 1-2 coats for a soft look or by applying 3 or more you achieve a dramatic look great for hitting up some friday night cocktails.

Kate Moss Vintage Muse perfume was also included, a floral musk scent that really lingers on your skin. Vintage Muse contains plum, rhubarb and black currant creme as its head. Peony, tiger orchid and purple violet as its heart and ambergris, white musk and a touch of chocolate for its base. All in all such a beautiful mix of ingredients, making this perfume delicious, not to mention the deep amethyst colour and design of the bottle. Breathtaking!

Check out the Rimmel London Australia website for all their other amazing products. They have such a great variety of makeup from polishes, lip gloss, lip stick, foundation everything you could possibly need.
