Retro Rainbow Make up



So on Saturday night I attended an 80's themed party. However when it came to my make up, I knew it would have to be bright! But all the colours I was thinking of (Purple, blue and green) clashed with my black and red outfit. So, if I was gonna clash, go big or go home. Bring on all the colours!!!


I paired it with a candy pink lipstick to make the whole face pop and not to take away from the eye shadow.



For those of you who will say that my outfit is not 80's because it does not have enough colour, this outfit is actually my Mum's from the 80's, when she would hit up the gym. You cant get more 80's then that!

Review: The Lipstick Collection created by Kate By Rimmel



The 1st Lipstick collection created by Kate Moss High intensity colour for up to 8 hours. Formula infused with Black Diamonds, reflects light like never before. Captues all the flair, edge and timelessness of Kate’s unique look.

First off, the name is not catchy at all. I need to get that out of my system, its too long and I think the name is what really prevented this lipstick from taking off. A simple 'By Kate' would have been significantly better. 

The packaging is cute and simple, I really like it. I think it reflects Kate Moss's style and I love that she put a simple signature on each one, I think it is a nice touch and very good branding for herself. There is only a simple embossed Rimmel logo on the top, not overbearing at all. 

I bought the brightest red there was, because you can never have enough red lipstick. The below image is myself wearing the shade 10 with a red lip liner underneath the prevent it bleeding out. It goes on relatively smooth, it can be a bit fiddly to get right but with lipliner as your base, you can't really go wrong. I wore it for a full day and I was definitely impressed with the performance, it stayed on even after i ate. It is hard to tell if that is due to the lipliner or the lipstick its self.


Overall, i was very impressed by the product, not the name. It surpassed my expectations as I have not hard particularly high ones for Rimmel in the past. I would definitely purchase this again in the future and recommend it for someone who wants a good lasting red lipstick that does not have a ridiculous price tag.
