Rimmel Moisture Reniew Lipsticks-Review and swatches!

Hello ladies! December's already here, I cannot believe how quickly time passes by. As you may have noticed I don't write as often as I used to and let me explain why. First of all I got a job that is waaaaay too tiring, so even when I'm not working I don't have the courage/inspiration to update my blog as often, and secondly something terrible happened to me and my family and my mood is really, really bad so I don't feel like blogging much for the time being. I do, however appreciate  very much your support all this time, your comments make me smile and I feel very lucky because it's only been 1 year and a month this blog's alive and I have more than 1000 members already and I've met some really wonderful people through blogging, so, thank you very, very much for everything! I'm truly grateful and I promise I'll try to write as often as possible, no matter how tired or upset I may feel.

Now, let's move to the products I want to talk about. Surprise, surprise! This blog post is once more, about lipsticks. You know I'm obsessed with them and own way too many, I really want to review all of them if possible, so there we go! Rimmel, as you probably know is a drugstore brand that offers a wide selection of products in reasonable prices, I really want to try more of their stuff but I only own those 3 lipsticks for the time being.

They are from the Moisture Renew range, which as the name indicates concludes of hydrating/moisturizing lipsticks which I normally don't like much, I'm a fan of matte, pigmented lipsticks no matter if they dry out my lips, which is not the case here.





I own the shades Notting hill nude which is a beautiful pinkish nude, Pink chic which is a soft pink and Violet pop which is a pinkish/violet raspberry (if that makes any sense at all) shade.

My take on the Rimmel moisture renew lipsticks:





They have a beautiful packaging which is also sturdy and the product's safe in it. I like the fact that in the bottom of it you can see the color and name of each lipstick, but I dislike the fact they're not easy to stand upside down on a lipsticks case because of their shape. They are very moisturizing on the lips, they actually feel like a lip balm, and the pigmentation's okay, nothing extraordinary, it's not that strong but it can easily be built up. They don't last  long on the lips but I didn't expect them to either, since they're hydrating lipsticks but that's fine with me as it's very easy to reapply without even having to use a mirror, especially in the lightest shades. They look beautiful on the lips and they don't gather on the fine lines of the lips. However, they have a huge disadvantage in my humble opinion... that smell. Ughhhh! I normally don't have issues with lipsticks' smells, but those have such a strong -flowery I think- smell I can hardly stand it! It's such a pity because they're really nice lipsticks but their smell is way too intense, I may have to try taking the lids off for a day or two and see if it goes away...

Overall, I'd recommend those lipsticks to those who love hydrating lipsticks and DON'T MIND intense smells. I don't think I can think of another disadvantage except their intolerable scent but that's enough on its own to prevent one from using them... I'll try to de-scent them and let you know if it worked.

I had gotten mine from www.fragracedirect.com for 1 pound each, but it unfortunately no longer ships to Greece anymore, but you can also find them at the greek e-shop www.bebeauty.gr for 4,30 euros each,  www.asos.com for 8.62 euros each (there's often a -30% off so keep an eye on it!), ebay , etc.

Have you tried them? Would you?
Let me know what you think, kisses!
