Diamonds Are Forever...

After seeing the advert for Kate Moss' new matte lipstick range for Rimmel London, I fell in love with the shade she's wearing (107) and as I've never been a huge fan of 'glossy' lipsticks, the matte finish made it even more enticing. Boasting "magnetic colour" and colour enhanced by "black diamonds", I had to give it a try. So I headed down to Superdrug where, the lipstick was at £5.49 and included in an offer whereby if I spent over £7.00 (I think, don't quote me!) I got my favourite liquid eyeliner (Rimmel Glam Eyes in Black Glamour) for free, I'm a sucker for a bargain and I was soon off to try it myself!

I'd advise you to make sure you haven't got dry lips before you start applying because it just shows up, making it darker in some places than others. This however is the case with many a bold coloured lipstick and should not put you off. I'd definitely recommend a lipliner because the colour is so dark that if it bleeds, you do look like you've got vampire mouth, so to speak! It's got quite a hard consistency but I find that seems to help it stay put for longer. It lasts for a good few hours before you need to reapply, it's a surprisingly versatile shade and I get complimented on it all the time. It's a great way to finish off an otherwise quite simple make up look without putting in too much effort, and lets face it, if we can get away with less time getting ready then it's worth it.

I'm definitely not saying I wouldn't prefer black diamonds in my jewellery but seeing as that's probably a little out of my price range, my new Kate Moss will do me just fine until then!
