Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick, In Love With Ginger

Today I'm reviewing In love with Ginger a lipstick from the most Rimmel Moisture Renew range and lets just say its going to be a bit of a mixed review. 

I am a big ran of Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipsticks, i've previously featured one on the blog called Dark Night Water-loops a dark plum shade which i just love everything about, and being such a fan i was eager to try some more shades from the collection. I have really got into my orange lipsticks this Summer and had seen a blog post in which In Love With Ginger was said to be a dupe for Mac's Morange, it looked identical in the pictures and with Morange being the top of my Mac lust list and In Love With Ginger being half the price it seemed like an absolute must try!

This is where my mixed feeling's come in, like the other shade i tried from the collection, it has the same amazing glossy finish, great pigmentation and moisturiseing feel, the downside for me is the colour. I was expecting an orange lipstick and i just wouldn't call it orange, i even swatched it in the shop before i bought it and it does look a lot more orange in person, however on the lips i just don't even think it could be classed as an orange/red it just looks plain red to me. So massive disappointment in that area, i do like the colour its just it's not what i was expecting, i would still recommend the range, the lipsticks are great and it hasn't put me off, i will still wear it, just as a red not an orange, so i guess that means i will be putting in that Mac order for Morange after all...

Have you tried the Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipsticks? What did you think?

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick, Dark Night Waterl-oops!

Hello there lovelies, Rimmel have recently bought out a new range of Moisture Renew lipsticks.
I believe there are ten new shades in the collection, i picked up the shade 380 Dark Night Waterl-oops (what an odd name?!) a deep plum colour and the darkest shade in the collection. Usually colours like that would have scared the bejesus out of me, however lately i've come around to darker more vampy shades, and i had been looking for my perfect plum lipstick from a high-street brand first before splashing out more cash and trying Mac Rebel.

(How it came out with flash, looks darker than this in person)

So on the the actual lipstick, let me just start by saying i really love it! The colour is not the darkest plum i've come across its a lot more of a vibrant purple shade but i love that and its exactly what i was looking for, i feel its a lot more wearable for me than some of the darkest almost black plum lipsticks. 

The finish is lovely its incredibly glossy yet still massively pigmented, it feels really moisturizing on the lips almost like a balm. 

Unfortunately due to the finish of this lipstick its not the most durable, it will smudge easily and i found it stays on decently well, but if your eating and drinking although the colour does stain your lips as its so dark you will have to re-apply. 

If your after a really long lasting lipstick i probably wouldn't recommend this lipstick but if you don't mind re-applying then give it a go, for only £6.49 each and such gorgeous glossy shades i don't think you can go wrong. 

I definitely am hoping to pick up a few more shades, I'm thinking maybe the orange and a nude pink shade. Has anyone else tried the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks? What did you think?
