Rimmel London - Kate Moss Fall 2012 Lipstick

Why hello there! Today I will be reviewing Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte by Kate Moss 2012 fall collection lipstick. I bought this lipstick at Walmart for $4.63 in the gorgeous color 109, a coral orange lipstick. The fall 2012 collection offers this lipstick in 10 beautiful shades. Online the product claims: 8-hour wear with exclusive Black Diamond Pigment Complex and reflects light like never before, bringing color depth to a whole new intensity.
The packinag comes in a nice sleek tube in a beautiful red color with the top of the cap slanted with the Rimmel symbol and Kate Moss' signature on the side. The color is matte and the application is AWESOME! It feels like you are putting a lip balm on because it is so creamy! There is a sheen when you first apply but with a couple more layers or in time it will turn into a matte color. I recommend exfiolating your lips before applying just to make it look better.
For a drugstore lipstick, compared to the rest of the lipsticks that people rave about, the Lasting Finish Matte line has a very nice quality lipstick. This line has a variety of different colors of pinks and purples not just red like the past line. The lipstick does not feel drying and lasts for several hours and does stain my lips as well. Eating and drinking will fade the color, so reapplying would be necessary unless it is a darker color and you truly want the true color. OH and this lipstick smells GREAT by the way! It has a fruity but sort of normal lipstick smell to it but nothing obnoxious.
Here are my lips nude and bare on top, yes they are pretty dry looking so the matte lipstick on would make the color cling onto the cracks of my lips right? It did do that on the first application I applied but after exfoliating and then applying chapstick before the lipstick, it felt great and stayed on for several hours. It is so comfortable and easy to apply. If you mess up, it is easy to clean up with your fingers and fix.
The flash is very bright in this picture and does not show the color very well. Overall I like the Kate Moss lipstick compared to the Wet n Wild lipstick that I previously reviewed. The Kate Moss is more creamy and applies easily and does not feel too liquid-ie like Wet n Wild's Fergie line. It is not shiny, and messy when I make a mistake. Totally recommend and would like to purchase more shades!

Wet N' Wild's Fergie Collection Lipstick

Hello once again!
Today I will be reviewing the Wet N' Wild's new Fergie Collection, specifically the lipstick line. I recently bought two of the shades, in A037 Old School Glam on the left and the A038 Saraghina on the right. Yes, I bought the bold color. I wanted something different. I purchased these two at the nearest Walgreens for $3.49 each. 
The Fergie line has 10 different shades but from the two I've purchased, Old School Glam on the left is more of a pink red, less fire engine red if you don't want true brick red. Saraghina on the right is red red!
Here is the swatches of the two in the same order. So with these products they are non-drying, creamy formula but they do transfer very easily and when you do make a mistake you will notice it. It smudges easily and stains. With the formula being creamy it does not last very long, up to about 4 hours then it fades but stains your lips. It is although very pigmented so I will only need about one layer to accomplish the true color.
With the packaging you have to be careful because the tube that covers the actual product are very narrow so when you open and close the cap you might nick the products and it will smudge everywhere. Here are what my natural bare lips look like. Not a very good example since they do look dry and not exfoilated but oh well.
This collection line are my actual first lipsticks that I purchased and choosing Wet n' Wild for a drugstore product in my mind was such a great choice! I'm loving them! I believe my lips are small and are not such a great example but hopefully you can base the product off from my swatches and pictures of the shades on me.

& here is the Saraghina

Overall if you are looking for a cheap but very good lipstick go for the Wet n' Wild's Fergie Centerstage lipsticks! Wet n' Wild always has very good payoff yet very affordable so I say go for it! It is glossy, non-drying, stains your lips so I highly recommend them! You can find these at most drugstores such as Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc.
