(Mac Rebel Dupe!) Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick


Being the lipstick addict that I am I have been dying to try out Rimmel's new Moisture Renew lipsticks. Having dry lips is a lipstick lovers worst nightmare, whenever I wear lipstick a couple hours later my lips feel like they've left me and gone to a desert. So moisturising lipsticks are something that always interest me. 

Although no lipstick is ever going to be as moisturising as a lip balm, Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipsticks definitely come close, if you were ever to make a lipstick out of butter I imagine these are what that would feel like. It is the softest lipstick I've ever applied! However that does mean you can end up with slightly clown looking lips if your not careful when applying it, I'd definitely recommend a lip liner before applying these lipsticks.


They have an amazing range of colours but there was one that was calling to me, once I got home I realised why! The colour I picked up was Dark Knight Water-oops! and if you read my last post you'll have seen I recently purchased Mac's Rebel lipstick in a Mac haul, these two colours are almost identical, they were so similar I couldn't wait to share!

MAC Rebel £15

Rimmel Moisture Renew Dark Knight Water-oops £6.49
 As you can see these lipsticks are almost identical, being a moisturising lipsticks Dark Knight Water-oops has more of a shine to it than Mac's Rebel and it is slightly darker in colour but these are slight differences and the colour is gorgeous in it's own right! I love both these lipsticks but if your on a budget Dark Knight Water-oops is a great lipstick to get your hands on.

Get it at Boots or Superdrug for £6.49

Autumn Lips: Revlon Embellished



I'm not much of a lip gloss person but as soon as I seen this new shade from Revlon I immediately bought it. This is the PERFECT Autumn lip colour. It has a beautiful reddy, purpley shimmer and a deep purple coloured gloss so this looks great over both red and purple lipsticks, adding a beautiful shine but isn't too sticky.




These lip glosses are £5.99 in Boots and Superdrug so go check them out!

MAKE-UP LOOK: Plum Smokey Eye Using Illamasqua Kit

For those of you who seen my Illamasqua Kit post and were interested to see how the products were I thought I'd do a full make-up look using Illamasqua products from the kit where I could, enjoy :)


The look is a very simple neutral face with a dark plum smokey eye. I liked this look a lot and really enjoyed using the Illamasqua products especially the foundation which made my skin look flawless, the eye shadows were a dream to blend and I LOVED the lipstick and gloss combo! I couldn't use all Illamasqua products as there were somethings not included in the kit so I substituted.

Products used:
Illamasqua Hydra Veil
Illamasqua Skin Base 08
Collection Concealer - Medium
Rimmel Stay Matte Setting Powder - Translucent
Sleek Contour Kit - Medium
Illamasqua Blush - Tremble
Illamasqua Complement Palette
Illamasqua Precision Ink - Abyss
Mac Kohl Liner - Smolder
Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake - Gaze
Illamasqua Lipstick - Test 
Illamasqua Lip gloss - Intimacy
Maybelline Falsies Mascara 
Kiss Haute Couture False Lashes


1. To prime the skin apply Illamasqua Hydra Veil and then with a buffing brush apply Illamasqua skin base for a flawless finish.
2. Apply the lightest colour in the Illamasqua Complement Palette in the inner corner of the eyelid then take the matte plum colour directly bellow and apply to the rest of the lid and blend the two colours together.
3. Take the darkest plum colour in the palette and apply to the outer corner of the eye and blend to create a smokey eye effect, keep applying and blending until you get the intensity that you want.
4. Using a small pencil brush take the darkest shade under the eye close to the lash line.
5. Apply Illamasqua Precision Ink to the top lash line and create a winged line.
6. Take Mac Smolder along the water line and tight line for a really dark look, smudge along the bottom lash line as well with a cotton bud.
7. Apply False lashes to finish the eyes.
8. There shouldn't be much fall out but if there is clean it up with a make-up wipe and then take Collection Concealer under the eyes and I used my buffing brush to blend this, then apply on to any blemishes and blend in with your finger lightly.
9. Use Rimmel Stay matte with a large powder brush to set the foundation and concealer.
10. Using your favourite brush for contour take the Sleek Contour Kit and apply under the cheek bones and to the temples, I then take a light dusting of the contour colour on a large powder brush over the rest of the face to blend everything together and to add a bit more colour to the face.
11. Apply Illamasqua Blusher in Tremble to the cheeks just above where you put the contour colour.
12. Fill in eyebrows using an angled brush and Illamasqua Eyebrow Cake in Gaze.
13. To finish off apply Illamasqua lipstick in Test and go over with their lip gloss in Intimacy.

What are your favourite Illamasqua products?
