So this summer I have been really into wearing lipstick. I had always considered lipstick an "old lady" thing, something you wear when you hit a certain age. Now, with all the awesome colours that companies are putting out, I am enjoying testing them.
One brand I have really liked so far is Rimmel and their Moisture Renew Lipsticks. The price is great, especially since they go on sale a lot, and they last quite a long time. Last night, I wore Funtime Fuchsia for a full night of teaching, which was about 6 hours. It was still on at the end of the night!
The 3 colours that I was drawn to are Tulip Pink, Coral Queen and Funtime Fuchsia. As I mentioned, wear time is great on all of them. I find they have a slight sunscreen scent to them, but it is not that strong (They do have an SPF 18).
This is Tulip Pink. It is a nice, bright, happy candy pink. It is not too crazy bright, but still gives off a great amount of colour. I find this colour very wearable for the daytime, but I would also wear it out at night!

Next is Coral Queen. This was my first time trying a orange based lipstick. I really like this colour because it does have a hint of orange, but it also has pink in it. I also find this colour very wearable, and it is not as bright on the lip as it is in the package!

Last we have Funtime Fuchsia. I bought this colour as I was looking for a cheap dupe of MAC's Girl About Town. I had tried Revlon's Colorburst in Fuchsia which is the best cheap dupe, but it turned out I was allergic! So that is when I bought this lovely shade. I do not know how similar it is (I do not own GAT), but I sure do love this shade! It is a bit darker then I had thought, but I still really like it. I generally wear this shade at night, but as I mentioned above, I have also worn it to dance, work, etc. This is one of my favourite shades this summer.

So, overall, I would say these lipsticks are a great buy. I bought all of mine at Shoppers Drug Mart, where they come in at under $6. Also, they tend to be on sale a lot, so that is a great time to try a new shade! The only thing I am not fond of is the scent (I am very scent sensitive) and the cheap feeling case. Other then that, I think they are a great buy!
Thanks for stopping by!
