Some two weeks ago, I sneakily purchased the Lasting Finish
Lipstick by Kate in a (for me) daring darker red colour, which is also known as
the shade 107. It is a classic… and very autumnal, even Christmas-y. I had had
my eyes on the shade for a good while and I am glad I actually decided to buy
it as I have already gotten so much use out of it. Also, it will be my go to
lipstick when the Christmas parties starts.
The colour is gorgeous dark red, yet also has a plum shade
to it. The plum shade balances well with the darker red and makes the red not
appear as dark, especially as it applies matte, which makes the lipstick very
wearable. I have gotten so many compliments on the shade, even though the
colour seems slightly dramatic and in contrast with my pale skin tone.
It is very easy to apply, whether you dab it on or go full
on out with it. I have tried lipsticks there are harder to apply, so the
easiness of 107 is greatly welcomed. However, it is slippery on the lips. I am
used to lipsticks just staying put without needing a lip pencil to draw the
edges up, but those days are over with this lipstick. It isn’t a big minus for
the lipstick, but it is definitely something to note so you don’t return home
and look in the mirror, wondering, “how did that happen? But I didn’t even do
anything other than talk!”
Is it lasting? That depends on what other lipsticks you
compare it with, which will always be the case. It doesn’t last as long on the
lips as my MAC lipsticks, but in fairness I paid more for them and Rimmel is a
cheaper /more affordable brand than MAC. I am definitely cutting it some slack,
seeing it isn’t an expensive lipstick. However, it leaves a good stain even if
it doesn’t last long, so it isn’t a big minus that it doesn’t last over 4 hours
without eating and drinking. On a last note, it is drying on the lips so pack a
cheap lip balm you dare get stained for a short while.
What is your favourite autumnal lipstick?
Until next time,
Mia ♥
