Seeing Red... And Liking It!

A few personal facts: 
1) My lips are always dry and therefore I am addicted to chapstick (a college stint on Accutane= blemish free skin, but also an ongoing Aquafor dependence).
2) As a direct result of #1, I loathe lipstick (never hydrating enough).
3) I want to be Kate Moss (but really who doesn't?!).

So it was a true beauty experiment when I plucked down $4.99 at Target recently for a fire engine red tube of Rimmel Kate Moss Matte Lipstick, Color 01. 
Lo and behold, this nude mouth die hard was wonderfully surprised- the super flattering reddish-blue hue went on smooth, stayed vibrant throughout the night and most importantly, didn't make my lips feel like the Sahara. 
The bright shade might not be an everyday go-to (old Aquafor habits die hard!), but I am quite excited about rocking it on future nights out. 

A tip of the tube to you, Ms. Moss! 

Rimmel London: Lasting Finish Lipstick

Shade (2962) 12

Yes, this is a lasting finish by Kate Moss color.
While I am not fond of Kate Moss (I just don't get the appeal, never have), the lipstick is awesome, and I do love having my name on the tube...

The 12 is a perfect nude, or, in my case, the perfect color I wish my lips were naturally.

Lasts without drying or feeling like I'm wearing wax lips.
