Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 050 Paradise Review, Swatches

By Linda

Hello Ladies,

I’m back with another Rimmel London product review. This seems to be one of my favorite drug store brands since they have high quality products for an affordable price. The varieties of shades are pretty good enough to match most of the skin tones from cool to warm. I’m shade NC 41 and it matched perfectly on my skin. The shade I’m about to review is an earthy peach to brown shade with a slight sheen to it. Some of the earthy shades gives a flat look to our lip or rather makes your lip look thinner, hence we need to top it with a gloss or a lip liner. But in case of this shade it’s a little different as compared to other nude/ earthy shades. Lasting finish lipsticks are available at nykaa .com but I’m not sure if this shade is available in India. Let’s know more..

Claims: Intense long lasting color for up to 8 hours wear
• +25% color impact
• Smooth creamy texture
• All day comfort

Price: 374 INR for 4g

Package, Shade and Texture

This lipstick is packed in a light weight, plastic lipstick container. The shade and the shade number is mentioned at the bottom. There is no other information provided.

The shade is a classic earthy peach/brown with ultra fine shimmer that gives a beautiful sheen on application. It is not intensely pigmented but enough to transfer the shade onto the lips.

It has a smooth creamy texture, very soft on application and moisturizes the lips throughout.

My take on Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick


This shade is more on the warmer side, perfect for all time .I definitely carry this lipstick along with me since it a safe shade, what I mean by safe shade is, if you are not able to makeup your mind as to the shade to apply , then this shade is definitely a saver. You can wear at work/ interview/ wedding /formal /casual functions. I’m in love with this shade. The sheen just gives a chic look , you don’t even need a gloss nor a highlighter to enhance your lips.

It has a slight pleasant fragrance to it but non irritating .A tad bit amount transfer to cups/ glasses but that’s acceptable. (for me at least :D)

I do wear this lipstick along with a lip liner from Rimmel London in the shade Spice, in order to achieve a clean finish. Not highly pigmented as I mentioned. I’m not happy with stay power , it would only last for 3-4 hours if you are not eating and drinking. Retouch is needed. My lips would never dry out on applying this shade. Very comfortable and light on the skin, as it claims.

Pros:

  • Wearable Shade for most skin tones and age groups
  • Creamy texture
  • Glides on smoothly
  • Does not bleed
  • Moisturizes the lips through out
  • Provides slight sheen on application
  • Long lasting.

Cons:

  • Availability in India
  • Poor Staying power, needs retouch

Rating: 4.5/5

Would I repurchase Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick (Shade 050 Paradise)? Definitely Yes

Rimmel London Lasting Finish 25H Nude Foundation Review

By Linda

Hey,

Happy New Year to all you beautiful ladies out there…So today I will be a reviewing my first product for the year 2017 and it’s a drugstore liquid foundation from the brand RIMMEL LONDON.I was looking for a daily wear, low cost foundation mainly for work and outings, a product that is lighter and suitable for my combination skin. This is the first time I tried a foundation from this brand, otherwise I normally buy lipsticks and nail paints as they have good range of shades.

They have two launches in the 25 H lasting foundation range,

1. Lasting finish original foundation (Red cap)

2. Lasting finish nude foundation (white cap).

When I visited the drugstore counter I did not find the lasting finish original foundation may be I missed it. Hence I cannot speak much about the former product. So let begin with the later one that’s Lasting Finish 25H Nude Foundation.

There are six shades available in the nude foundation range: 010 Light Porcelain, 100 Ivory, 200 Soft Beige, 201 Classic Beige, 303 True Nude and 400 Natural Beige.

What RIMMEL LONDON Claims: Medium coverage foundation that feels hydrating and moisturizing. Light weight formula blends instantly into the skin creating a nude, poreless effect. As per my experience this product did stick to what it claimed in regards to coverage,application and finish. Sweat, heat ,humidity and transfer proof for up to 25 hours. Coverage that won’t let you down. Dermatological tested.SPF 20. It does have a fragrance which is not mentioned.

Packaging

This foundation is formulated in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser and a cap that fits on top. The pump dispenser is very convenient which dispense considerable amount of product in one puff. Unfortunately the ingredients are not mentioned on the bottle.

Cost: Approximately INR 1030 [4.6 KWD] for 30mL.

My take on RIMMEL LONDON LASTING FINISH 25H NUDE FOUNDATION

I have a medium to fair skin tone; combination / sensitive skin. The closest suitable shade I picked up was 303 True Nude. I’m a little disappointed with the limited range of shades as I found this shade to be a tad bit darker on my skin tone and the previous shade to this was lighter for my warm skin tone. On application at first the foundation blended smoothly and effortlessly in to the skin. My skin evened out giving a clean smooth finish. It seeps into your skin within seconds covering the pores and minor discolorations. So definitely a concealor is required for dark spots, circles or blemishes if any. I did lock the foundation with the compact powder. This foundation is buildable, so begin with a minimal amount and gradually increase if you require more coverage.

It does claim 25H lasting finish but honestly I do not prefer carrying makeup on my skin for more than 10 hours so I did not test if it lasts for 25 hours. I noticed it really lasts long for approximately 8-9 hours but after 3 hours my skin did show oiliness on my T-zone. But throughout it gives you fresher looking skin

It is ideal for work and also suitable for clubbing , parties as it doesn’t not flash on photographs, neither creases nor it oxidises and even does not look cakey. During extreme winters or summers I tend to develop dry skin patches on my skin but on application none of these spots were highlighted and no skin irritations were developed.

Advise you to well mositurize and prime your skin along with powder for long lasting results. If you are looking for a daily wear long lasting foundation then this foundation is worth the money. I applied this product during the day time and outdoors and noticed it did not oxidise and remained throughout but yes the oiliness did appear so it’s not 100 percent sweat proof. Works well with a beauty blender or sponge applicator rather than a brush.

Pros:

  • Evens out the skin
  • Pump dispenser( you can control the amount of product)
  • Long lasting during summers (8-9 hours)
  • Doesn’t give a cakey look
  • Photo friendly
  • Reasonable price
  • Works well during summers and winters
  • SPF 20

Cons:

  • Not travel friendly (glass bottle)
  • Medium coverage
  • Limited range of shades
  • Availability (in India)

Rating: 3.5/5

Would I recommend RIMMEL LONDON LASTING FINISH 25H NUDE FOUNDATION? If you are on a budget and beginner with makeup then you should try this foundation.

Editor’s Note: This sounds pretty good for daily use. I would love to give it a try.

Feelunique Haul : theBalm, Real Techniques, Rimmel

Hi guys,

I got a few things from Feelunique.com a few months ago. I had filmed this video earlier but if you don’t already know, I have got a fracture recently and hence it took some time to edit, etc.,

About Feelunique: Feelunique is a UK based website which stocks all international brands from Real Techniques, Sleek MakeUP, NYX, Maybelline, Benefit, theBalm, Rimmel London, etc. They have 1000’s of brands under them. They offer free shipping all over the world above £60 and £15 shipping below that. But even if you buy 2-3 items, you can easily cross £60.

Also they have a lot of offers from time to time and free Gifts with Purchases. Only disadvantage I would say is customs and since that is not fixed or cannot be determined, it is a bit of risk.

I got 6 items out of which one item was missing. I paid Rs 950/- customs on rest of the 5 items. Let’s see what all I got..

And the item which went missing was the Maybelline Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick. I wanted all of these items since a really long time! They were on my wishlist! And I am so glad I got these.

I hope you liked the haul, do let me know in the comments below.
