Kate Moss For Rimmel

"Look what I've got" 

* sing-song voice*

On a totally impromptu trip to the Bond Street Superdrug this week, I locked eyes on the Kate Moss Collection for Rimmel and it really does look every bit as appealing as I heard (and read) it would be.

Bronzed and Patriotic . . Reminds me of a certain Person I know ;)

The Eyeshadows which come in a range of purples, browns, greens and a really random Union flag coloured blue,white and pink combination, looked really pigmented (and patriotic), while the casing for the lipstick looked absolutely gorgeous!!! I know you shouldn't judge a make up product by its packaging but this time I have to make an exception.

I picked up the Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 08, which comes in a pinky brown shade; perfect for a nude lippie *for me anyway* and also the bronzed out eyeshadow palette. So far I've had a little play around with both the lippies and eyeshadows and I actually really love the way the shades show up on my skin. I can't preach about the durability yet but I feel it the eyeshadow should last for a good while before becoming dull but then again only time will tell.

It's all about the Honey . . .

 

 

This is numuero uno of my blog reviews on the samples I've recieved from Earth's hairdressing beauty event. This sample is from the Melvita range, which is an organic UK brand that uses honey (from their hives), roses and other gentle, organic ingredients to create an animal-cruelty free beauty range that works.

Now I won't ever review a product I have not actually used, but as I've had a facial with these products and have also used these products over the weekend, I think I've got the hang of them

Cleansing Miscellar Water

Product

Cleansing Miscellar Water (RRP £20) - Now if I hadn't used this product in my facial, I really don't think I would have known exactly what to do with it, or what it was for.

Over the week, I've been using this as a toner and a replacement for my make up wipes (which I can't find due to moving) and I think it actually works quite well. It's very light and I haven't reacted to it which is an added bonus

Rose Nectar Day Cream (RRP £24) 

I don't have anything amazing to say about the day-cream to be honest, after all its just a cream not a miracle in a bottle. It does what it is supposed to and has the added bonus of smelling like roses

Packaging

I love the packaging for this line because it is so clean and simple, and does not use any hyper active colours. I think in this day and age, minimal packaging says alot about the company values and their brand, as it is not trying to overwhelm the consumer and drown us with bright energetic colours loool

Overall Rating - 3 stars

I'm combining the facial score and the sample score in this rating, and I would have given it a much higher rating but the facial left my skin too shiny, and also left a waxy residue on my face which bugged me, because everytime I rubbed my face something peeled off!!! I'm not sure exaclty which of their products did this but I'm not going to degrade their whole line because of this, as my face did feel great (waxy residue aside). I absolutely love the Cleansing water and I'm going to purchase a full size product. I don't have much to say abut the rose day cream only because I don't fancy the smell of roses and I don't suffer from dry skin so I tend not to use day creams normally and honestly speaking this product won't make me start now
