I've been wanting a nice red lipstick for quite some time, but they're quite hard to find. They're usually either orange-y, or they lean more towards a bordeaux shade. But finding a true, stylish bright red? That's quite a mission!
Rimmel London came out with a Kate Moss lipstick line a while ago. I don't care for the name, but the #10 looked so nice that I had to buy it. It's a very deep, true red. I love it! The only downside is that it's quite hard to apply nicely, so I ordered a lipstick brush for it. Also, it doesn't stay in place very well, it really rubs off to anything that touches your lips. But it's nice, and the color is amazing!
Crackling nail polish seems to be quite the trend at the moment. I had already seen it before online, but I don't like to order makeup, because I like to be able to hold it in my hands the moment I buy it.
But now, you can basically find the crackle nail polish all over the drugstores! I was hesitating between the drugstore's own brand, Miss Sporty, or Rimmel London. Since Rimmel London is the most expensive of the three, I decided to go for that one. I must admit, I'm not one to buy very cheap or unknown brands. They tend to be quite disappointing.
Anyway, I decided to try the polish out, and I really like it! The application takes some getting used to. When you apply a thin layer, you get small crackles, while you get big crackles when you apply a thick layer. I'm not very good at it yet, so it became a little messy, but it's not bad for a first try!
Here's how it looks. I applied it over my Max Factor golden glitter nail polish. I like the effect!
All in all, I think I'm starting to like this brand. I might buy more from it in the future!
