a review of terrible lipstick



 I bought rimmel's kate moss nude matte lipstick, after reading some positive online reviews about the quality of rimmel's kate moss line, it seemed good for me. I've always wanted to try a nude lip but after buying a nude lipglass from mac, it was sort of ruined by mac's awful quality, texture, and sheerness. This lipstick managed to be even worse.  It is on par with mac for being both a disappointment and waste of money. It might be slightly better because it doesn't make my lips stick together like gooey oatmeal, but the scent is horrid. I got a  migraine from this lipstick, This lipstick was so bad it was physically painful to use. That is the extent to which it is terrible, and I wish drug stores had a "if this cosmetic product is bad, you should be able to refund/exchange it" policy,... but they don't and that always makes buying makeup (that isn't from aromaleigh) something of an unpleasant process for me. The packaging is very pretty, and I think it's the perfect lipstick packaging. Red, black, classy. yep the packaging is everything I'd want my makeup to look like but the actual product itself is so mindbogglingly poor quality and terrible that I would never put it on or near my body again. Also I tried layering it with mac's see-through lipglass which basically looked ok for two seconds but had an extremely unpleasant texture, disgusting taste, appalling, rancid smell, and over all was a form of brutalizingly torturing myself. I would not suggest anyone try either of those products. I am a mac hater, though i do like rimmel's other lip products. They have a nice black lipgloss, and you don't know how hard it is to find a black lipgloss, much less one that layers well.

Reason why you should not buy this lipstick:
-It smells like nasty watermelon formaldehyde death flavored jolly ranchers.
-It tastes pretty much the same, but with an aftershock of acetone and wax.
-It is streaky and patchy.
-It is way too sheer, even if you layer a nude gloss over it.
-It will settle into the lines of your lips.
-It will settle even worse with gloss.
-It's pretty much as bad as mac's see-though lipglass except slightly cheaper and a lipstick.

Reasons why you should buy this lipstick:
-You're a masochist.
-You enjoy wasting money.

Nobody paid me to say this.
I just feel passionate about the extent to which this product was an absolute shame to lipsticks everywhere and how, for another two years, I will continue just using shades of red or black on my lips. One of these days I'm going to actually buy something that doesn't disappoint me greatly or make me feel guilty for wasting money on it.
