It's Back with a Bang - and an Iconic Signature
Statement lips, to me, suggest glamour, 1940’s audaciousness and sultry sexiness. Like anything, a delicate balance is required in getting it just right, but even if you dont always strike the right chord, at least you can have some serious fun trying! And now, even more fun can be had.....
You see, although still a big lover of the L’Oreal Colour Riche true red lipstick that I keep returning to over and over (and over) again for that all important splash of colour, I am really excited to say that Rimmel London have stepped their lipsticks up a notch with a gorgeous new twist on their Lasting Finish range ....a hot new version, closely developed with Kate Moss.
When I was nothing more than an experimental teenager, Rimmel London was always the handy ‘go to’ brand for lippie, gloss, eyeshadow duo’s and pressed powder – it was edgy, it was fashionable and most importantly, it was always (and still is) easy on the aul póca. Anyway, it seems that Kate Moss was also a fan in her younger years; prior to her relationship with the brand, that is.
In fact I discovered that Kate and I share something in common - apart from our mesmerising model-esque stature of course - it appears that Kate’s first ever lipstick buy, was ‘Heather Shimmer’ by Rimmel London. Well, snap! It was also my first ever lipstick purchase! As a teenager, ‘Heather Shimmer’ had that gorgeous purple / pink sheen that was – at the time – quite edgy ...without rocking too many boats you understand. Hey, it was the early nineties, grunge was the order of the day, REM, Blur and Oasis rocked our worlds and glamour wasn’t high on the agenda – at least, not for me anyway. So it was a big deal to be brandishing some deep purple hues.... AND there was also the wonderful 'shade 264' ....Coffee Shimmer (pictured) Ah yes.... I spiced up many a nights clubbing with Coffee Shimmer adorned lips.....
But I digress..... My point is that although I have moved on to many amazing lippie brands over the years, I now – especially with the recent addition of this range developed by Kate Moss – am rather excited to be re-applying my Lasting Finish in bright red and dark purple and even softer pinks and striking nudes. The colours are amazing - really vibrant - easy to apply and the matt black tube with the red writing on it is gorgeous!
It’s exciting.... let your lips make a real statement with the new Kate Moss Lasting Finish range. You'll LOVE the results.
Kate Moss Lasting Finish Lipstick €6.95 available 10th October 2011 from selected pharmacies and department stores nationwide.
