So I took quite a break from doing reviews. I'm not entirely sure why but I just found that I had to push myself to write them. I dreaded sitting down to write them. So I just pushed them to the back set. But I'm finally ready to come back and do come every now and them. I thought that it was only fitting to come back with my favourite product type lippies! 

Maybelline Lemonade Craze Palette | First Impressions

I kind of fell in love with this palette when I saw it on Maybelline's twitter. The swatches were amazing! The pop of red and the rose gold were so amazing! They shared the photos like 2 months before the launch and I'm not going to lie I kind of forgot about it until I saw it on display at the store about a month ago. Then I remembered the swatches and was excited all over again!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss | Review + Swatches

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Matte Lipstick by Kate Moss

Rimmel doesn't have much of a description on their site about this lipstick. Ulta's description says "Lasting Finish Lipstick by Rimmel London locks color to lips for up to 8 hours wear. 50% more color. Soft, smooth, comfortable formula."

The Boots description says "Kate Moss brings colour to a new unique dimension. The gorgeous colour richness and comfort of Kate’s lipstick, now in a Velvety Matte finish. Ruby Powder enriched formula to intensify the colour while keeping a matte finish all day long! Matte is re-invented for the most velvety comfortable colour ever!"

So this lipstick promises to be soft, smooth, with great color and matte finish. Both descriptions say it is a comfortable and long wearing formula.
