Are you ready for the first review of 2014? I thought I’d start the makeup reviews by reviewing of one of the most popular styles of lipstick last year, aka the crayon style. While this lipstick isn’t a crayon, it’s unique in itself too. It’s a felt tip style, I’ve seen a similar product in Maxfactor, but nowhere else. I think its quite novel but of course, such a product has a fair share of drawbacks too. The product I’m talking about today is the Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Transferproof Lip Tint + Balm. I have the shade 130 Don’t Stop Blushing. So sit back and relax, and let this review help you decide if you need such a lipstick in your vanity.. or not.
Cost: Rs.555.Qty: 2.3gm.Shelf Life: 12 months.Instructions(printed on the crayon/pen):Step 1:Apply the color on clean bare lips for all day colorStep 2: Apply balm to add moisture and shine once the color is dry.Usage advice: If the tip does not work correctly, wipe with a clean dry tissue.*UPDATE: mybeautyexpress is now crazybeautyland.blogspot.com
My take on the product:PACKAGING ~ You know what this reminds me of? A marker. The kind my school and high school teachers used, to write on a whiteboard. It has a felt tip which releases the product on your lips, you know, like the felt tip in markers. On one side you have the felt tip which releases color and on the other side you have a balm.
The cap of the balm side is tricky, you can easily break off the entire balm while pulling off the cap, which is why I’ve used the balm only once. The balm has shimmer in it. None of the testers at the Rimmel counter had the balm part and my guess is because of the tricky cap, if not the cap, its because the balm itself can easily break, like any normal lip balm stick.Read more »
