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 ...

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

Great Lipstick but is it Cruelty Free?
I've been using this lipstick for a number of years now and I love this shade. It goes on smoothly and I apply a little pressed face powder in translucent over the top to ensure a matt finish. This fixes it in place. Not only would I buy this product again I have already bought this shade 3 times already.My only complaint is I don't see any Cruelty Free logos. Come on Rimmel! stop testing on animals and move to Non-animal-testing methods.... Show more

Heather Shimmer… I Love You
This color is gorgeous. I’m light complected and this is a shade that is more natural, yet dark enough to make a difference. I mean, I love bright reds, but I sometimes feel like I need a more subdued color. I love how the shimmer keeps this from being boring.The smell, texture and wear of this lipstick is lovely. I have already hoarded quite a few tubes because when End of Times comes, I want to look nice… ha ha.I don’t buy expensive makeup. The very old brands get shunned by these ridiculous self-proclaimed makeup “experts” who are really just nobody ding-dongs. I bet, if they were given this lipstick in a blind test, they wouldn’t know if it cost $5 or $50. I hate snobs…But I LOVE this lipstick.... Show more

Mixed Feelings...
The service and delivery were excellent, as is the quality of the lipstick and the price was fair. No complaints whatsoever. The color of the lipstick, however, was a disappointment. I should know better than to expect the color to be what shows in the picture online. I ordered Pink Blush. It is a light pink, but does not have any of the brightness of the pink in the picture of the lipstick.... Show more

Natural look
Excellent quality lipstick, that makes your lips smooth without drying them out; price is also very attractive. Scent is pleasant, it is easy to apply. But colour is too natural for me, almost invisible on my lips. At least this lipstick is not for summer and tanned skin. Either for those who likes natural look or for using it on daily basis....

Okay
The color of the lipstick looks almost identical to the picture, but it looks much bluer when applied on the skin. I have medium skin tone, and this shade made my lips look very pale and drained out. Maybe it fits cold undertone people more. There is a slight shimmer, and it is not matte. However, the paint depth is not very strong, and will not dye your lips if you experience uneven skin tone. This lipstick alone is not enough coverage. Maybe it is okay for half the price. It is a great option to start if you never used lipstick before.... 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
