So today I went to superdrug and just went in for a little browse. Of course I ended up buying something. I think I must have swatched a million lip liners, lippens and lipsticks before I finally ended up buying the rimmel 1000 kisses lasting finish lip liner in 004 Indian pink.
I picked up this one for £2.99, I think that's standard price for the rimmel lip liners which is an incredibly good deal. For what you get, I am more than happy to pay £2.99 for a mere lip liner.
It's quite a dark purpley colour with a base of pink and I do actually quite like it. It's a little brighter than I would normally wear but I have been trying to get into wearing more adventurous makeup and I thought this was a particularly bold move.
What's good about this lip liner is that it can be used all over the lip and then have a lipstick applied. I think it looks particularly good underneath the rimmel moisture renew 600 soft coral or the body shop in 55. Another good thing is that it does stay on relatively long, more so with a lipstick ontop as this protects the colour underneath but doesn't leave a stain on your lips after you take it off. Always a benefit.
However, there are some things about this lip liner that I really don't like. It tends to bleed a little around your lips which isn't the most attractive thing. You have to make sure to keep the line really tight and neat so that you avoid this. Also it does not last as long as 1000 kisses. I had one drink and a curly wurly and it had already come off around the middle of my lips. And I know 1000 kisses is quite a big ask, but I was expecting it to stay a little longer.
But for £2.99 what do you expect. If you want a lip liner that's going to last all day then I wouldn't recommend this but if you're just popping out for lunch, a date or even just shopping then I think this would be more than suitable.
I hope this has been helpful and as always I'm looking out for more products to try so let me know via the comments, my twitter or tumblr.
Hope you're having a great day and I will see you all soon. Ally xxxx
