Recently, I underwent a particular search for the perfect autumn lippy, which was a tough ask for something not too dark but not too pink, just the right amount of purple without being brown or harsh on my very pale skin. I have to tell you - it was a real struggle, I wanted to stick to high street lipsticks as one I'm on a student budget, and two, I didn't really know if purple would be my thing.
I literally trawled through every purple lipstick Boots had to offer me, and after an unsuccessful trip here and a grumpy Chloe there, I stumbled upon these beauties by Rimmel. I've seen these lipsticks everywhere recently and was really interested in giving them a go, as the name The Only 1 seems quite a big challenge for a high street lipstick sold for only £6.99!
These lipsticks are described as offering "All- day, Colour, Comfort, Moisture and Supreme long lasting wear." And although I wouldn't say they last the whole day, I'd say a good 6 hours wear out of these lipsticks before you need to reapply! I really think these are a great affordable choice lipstick. The formula is really creamy and highly pigmented, but stays on the lips like a matte lipstick would - without the drying effect that comes with them.
The colour I have is 105 'Under My Spell' and is such a beautiful deep berry shade, its not too purple but not extremely dark either, and I feel really warms my face up whilst still having some drama for the autumn time! The fruity scent that comes with most Rimmel lipsticks is fairly strong but dies own after a few minutes, and for me the packaging is a little clumsy and not very user friedly - although i love the sleek finish they have!
The lip liner is also a new discovery of mine and was actually made to complement the colours of the lipsticks, so again its a lovely berry shade that's matte yet not drying, this is perfect under the lipstick or even on its own if you're wanting a really easy dark lip!
The lipstick retails at £6.99 and the lip liner at £3.99 and can be found in
Boots and Superdrug!
