I have the color Heather Shimmer and it's perfect on me. I believe it's in the Mauve family. It's described as a soft light purple with grey and blue tones. All I know is it is gorgeous. It goes on smoothly, feels very moisturizing and creamy and the slight shimmer to it makes it very flattering. It has a satiny finish. It's not too dark, not too light, it's just perfect for me. I'm wanting to buy more colors of this like some Nudes and some darker ones too. This is great lipstick!... Show more

Amazing and Affordable Lipstick
I spent ages trying to find a lipstick that suited me, going through multiple virtual try-ons to find something I liked. Nothing seemed to look quite right, until I tried Drop of Sherry and Heather Shimmer on and liked them so much that I decided to buy them, since they're quite inexpensive. I didn't expect them to look as good as they did in real life - they looked better! Colours perhaps a tad different to the try-ons, Drop of Sherry is a little brighter and Heather Shimmer is a little darker. For the most part the virtual colours match up very well, monitor/screens will obviously vary a little so keep that in mind. I loved the two I bought so much that I bought another Lasting Finish and two other Rimmel lipsticks!I'd seen some reviews previously about the ...

Colours perhaps a tad different to the try-ons, Drop of Sherry is a little brighter and Heather Shimmer is a little darker. For the most part the virtual colours match up very well, monitor/screens will obviously vary a little so keep that in mind. I loved the two I bought so much that I bought another Lasting Finish and two other Rimmel lipsticks!I'd seen some reviews previously about the lipsticks having a very strong smell, which made me nervous since this would bother me. Do they have a scent? Yes, but I find it very pleasant, somewhere between vanilla and a dianthus flower. Bearing in mind that I have a very sensitive sense of taste, these do not bother me. The scent wears off gradually after application, and I only very occasionally taste the lipstick. I don't smell them after application at all, and I highly doubt anyone else does even if they're sat right next to me. If you are very sensitive to scent/ don't like this particular smell maybe this would bother you, but for the average wearer, I wouldn't worry too much. Perhaps the amount of perfume added varies by batch, since other reviewers have commented negatively on this?Long-lasting? Depends. I bought these in a heat-wave and was it was so hot in my classes that I think it was liquifying the lipstick right off since it was transferring to my water bottle. It was doing the same with hot drinks. Now that it's cooler it's lasting longer and I can go a few hours comfortably without touch-ups, probably even longer when it cools down further. As long as I don't have to re-apply every thirty minutes I'm happy, it does well for a lipstick in its price range!It feels amazing on my lips too, not sticky, thick or irritating in any way. It applies easily and makes my lips look smooth and healthy. As long as you keep your lips moisturised, this should look great on anyone.I like the simplistic black packaging and the shape of the bullet makes it easy to apply. Obviously it's plastic, not sure if it is recyclable (hopefully it is) but the plastic feels sturdy and the shape is pleasantly tactile.*It's Cruelty-Free!* This is a biggie for me, I don't purchase any cosmetics that aren't cruelty-free and while I did see some non-Rimmel lipsticks I thought would look good on me they were not cruelty-free, so I decided firmly against. Then I happily found this brand, which has all the shades I could ever need, in my price range too. Is it a super fancy designer name lipstick? No, but it doesn't need to be. It does what it says on the tin, looks good, and makes me happy every time I catch sight of my bright lips. Rimmel's going straight on my list of trusted beauty brands.For those of you who were wondering, I'm not a paid reviewer. I am, in fact, a (not beauty) reviewer who runs her own blog and likes to over-analyse things. I spent way too long on this, but it was worth it if this review helps someone :)... Show more

Excellent Lipstick
This lipstick has a lovely light texture and feel on the lips. It's a great deep pinkish natural color. I wear it every day. It has a slight fruity smell, but works on my dry sensitive lips. Standard black tube, sturdy but also pretty. Package says made in England. I love this one, will purchase again. Major value, on sale for 4.50. Thank you I Herb, for stocking Elf.... Show more

Long-Lasting Color with a Hint of Shine
Rimmel London's Lasting Finish Lipstick is a true winner in my book! The rich, pigmented formula glides on smoothly and delivers bold, vibrant color that lasts for hours. It's incredibly comfortable to wear, providing a touch of moisture without feeling heavy or sticky. The sophisticated packaging and wide range of shades make it a must-have for any makeup lover....

Love it !
I loved this product! The lipstick dries quick, stays on and looks great! The only downside is some of the colors tend to dry too much and flake. The scent is very light and not bothering at all. It's a great product you can use everyday. It's definitely worth trying especially if you're down to exploring.... Show more

Love this lipstick
The color of this lip gloss is very pretty. It is good for everyday use. The texture is creamy and easy to apply. The scent is a little strong but it will disappear after you put it on your lips . it is a semi matt finished. I like this lipstick because the color stay on your lips even after eating... Show more

Nice colour but just not for me
no strong scent or taste, used it but colors not right for me. looks slightly different from the picture. but texture is smooth and glides smoothly. coverage is light and it is generally nice, just not the color for me. Good price, good quality and was a fair deal. same in bubble wrapped package.... Show more

Poor quality; do not recomend!
Tried this on with the 'virtual try on' first and thought the colour was perfect..... Soooo wrong!!Bought it yesterday and tried it this morning; it is absolutely nothing like the shade showed on the Virtual.It has zero staying power. After just shy of 2 hours (with no eating or drinking) the colour has almost all gone.Only thing it has going for it, is the reasonable level of moisture.... Show more
