Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick | Mayfair Red Lady

I'm an absolute sucker for a red lipstick, especially at this time of year and although I love a matte red, my poor dry lips do not. Step forward Rimmel and their new offering; the Moisture Renew Lipstick. The deal with these is that they provide the same rich colour you'd expect from a lipstick but because the formula is made up of three "superpower" moisturisers; polypeptides, hyaluronic acid and natural collagen, you're also helping to keep your lips in good condition. Good news is that there's also a strong protectant element to these, as they also contain SPF 20, Vitamins A, C and E and anti-oxidants. Sounds pretty great, eh? I got the colour Mayfair Red Lady, cause I can't resist a pun on words and also, look how lovely it is!!

The packaging is pretty sturdy, that lid won't fly off in your bag, destroying everything (my pet hate) and the lipstick itself smells like Labello which I find really interesting. If that was intentional on Rimmel's part to make you subliminally think of lip balm, then hats off to them! Very clever.
Regardless of that, it is actually super moisturising. It feels like a balm when applied, it wears off like a balm and leaves my lips soft for a while afterwards. It really is a lovely product, one that I know I'll find myself reaching for more and more as the weather gets even colder.

Check out that colour too! The pigmentation in this is amazing; such a strong, bright colour. There's no messing around with these, they're full on and dramatic but that conditioning sheen makes them completely wearable for day time too, so you've got the best of both worlds.

I'll definitely be picking up another of these, there's a great selection of shades (15 on the boots website) and for €7.95 each you can't go wrong really. Plus, heads up; Boots have a 3 for 2 on at the moment so now is a great time to stock up!
