I purchased this in the color, I'll Call You, and this retails for around $7.00 at the drugstore and comes in eight different colors all together. Rimmel says that this product will feel comfortable to wear on the lips, leaving them moisturized all day long. Let's see if this lipstick is worth all the hype around it!
I cannot start this review without addressing the down right adorable lip prints on the end of the package where the clear lipgloss is! It is just too cute not to address first! So, now that that is out of the way.... ;)
Both ends twist off, and the end with the lip prints all over it is the part of the tube that holds the clear gloss that goes over the lipstick after it sets. The other end is the lipstick itself and both have the same type of doe foot applicator. The applicator is typical as any other and does a great job applying the lipstick. I am a fan of doe foot applicators because I find that it helps to outline the lips, which is so important when you are working with a highly pigmented product!
I will mention that I really like how this has the two products all in one convenient packaging. There are a few other lip products similar to this that need a balm or gloss to go over it to give the lips some moisture or shine that comes in a completely separate package. Rimmel hit it on the spot with the convenience of the product!
The first step you take, of course, is applying the lipstick itself. They recommend keeping your lips separated for one minute while you wait for the lipstick to set. There is no scent to this lipstick, for those who hate scented lipsticks, you will be very pleased.
Step 2 is applying the clear gloss over the lipstick to lock the lipstick in place and add some shine. Maybe it is just me, but I detect a slightly faint-hard-to-notice sugary scent to this gloss, but it is undetectable when you apply it.
They claim that when you wear this lipstick it won't feel tight on your lips and they are right! This is so comfortable to wear because the gloss does add moisture to the lips and gives them a pretty shine. Even after eating two meals with this on, the gloss did come off, but the lipstick itself stayed locked on my lips with minimal fading! Usually with certain foods the lipstick will fade drastically away because of the oils, but, it stayed put very well!
Rimmel Provocalips in the color, "I'll Call You" |
Application |
After wearing for seven hours |
My lips did not feel dried out after the gloss faded or after wearing this for seven hours. I was so very happy, because I found myself completely in love with the formula of this lipstick and how wonderful it wore on the lips throughout the day.
All the claims of this product are absolutely true! Although, I cannot confirm it lasts for 16 hours, but it sure lasted for the seven hours I wore this. For me, that is good enough!
I cannot wait to buy more of these lipsticks, because I can promise you that this is my new love!
Have you tried any other colors? Please let me know which ones you love!
