Rimmel London Lasting Finish | 170 Alarm

 I didn't mention it the other day, but I also brought Rimmel London's Lasting Finish lipstick in shade 170 Alarm. Now i'm not a big lipstick fan- before yesterday, I literally owned none! But I had been toying with the idea of buying some for nights out for ages! So I guess yesterday, I just caved in! The lipstick was £4.99 from Asda, and I think it's around that price from most other places too. This was a spur of the moment purchase too, in fact, my dad picked the colour as I just couldn't decide. 

 This may not be the best colour to show you, because it looks more like a red with a hint of purple, but it really is a bright, can't miss it on your face, kind of red. I did realise afterwards that it was a bright colour for me to try, but I know most girls with darker hair can usually pull it off. 

 I must say, I think the packaging is pretty cute though. It's a shimmery/glittery purple, with (of course) their famous crown logo on top. The lid feels really secure too, and there's no chance this baby will open itself, or drop off anytime soon. But whats it like on the lips? That's what you're all waiting for... 

I must say, i'm a little disappointed with the outcome. I had read reviews saying what a good product it is, but i just can't seem to really get along with it. The photo does make it look worse than it does in person, i must admit that. The colour is a lot deeper, but as you can tell, it really does feel a bit patchy on my lips. Now I must say, I wear lipsil every day (whether I need it or not) to keep that constant moisture on my lips, so it's definitely not that it dries your lips out. I can't really work out where I went wrong with it though. 

Let me know your thoughts on the lipstick?
