I have 13 Rimmel lipsticks in my current lipstick collection and I am positive that's the most, out of all the brands in my entire collection (Please don't assume I have this massive collection, as I don't. WISH I DID!)
I find that the formulas of all the Rimmel lipsticks are amazing, obviously you get the odd poor one from each collection, but overall Rimmel get it spot on.
They're pretty cheap too! you can find them ranging from £1 (Hello Poundland!) to about £7 for the newer shades, which is a bargain!
Here's the first part of my Rimmel lipsticks:
L-R Coral Queen 620 x2, Heather Shimmer 220, Diva Red 500, Sweetie 014, Nude Pink 206
Firstly let me apologise for the ridiculously rubbish photo! The colours don't look true to shade but I suppose that doesn't matter too much as this is only showing you my collection, not really a review is it? If you're like me, I'm sure you have already came across some brilliant photos capturing the shades beautifully from some other blogs!
Moisture Renew
Diva Red was my first ever Rimmel lipstick and I used to love it. It's a brilliant blue toned deep red (not a vampy red though.)
I bought Coral Queen not long after and that soon became a firm favourite in my collection (which is why I have recently repurchased a back up) This has seen me through many drunken nights out at University and has even had teeth marks in at one point... Please don't pretend your hand has never 'accidentally' slipped when topping up your lippie after a few too many!
Heather Shimmer is, for me, a 'play it safe' kinda shade and I'm not gonna like, I don't really use it that much and I'm actually baffled as to how much I have used.
Lasting Finish
I have two from the Lasting Finish collection which are Sweetie and Nude Pink (Nude Pink has came up a lot darker in the photo) I bought Sweetie when I was desperate for a really bright pink, this was before there were hundreds of different bright colours to choose from. I do like it, but it has a shimmer to it, which I am not too keen on in my brighter lipsticks.
I love Nude Pink, it's extremely easy to wear and similar to Heather Shimmer, it's a 'safe' colour, but I find myself grabbing this lipstick a lot more and this one is usually found in my handbag! There is a shimmer to this one too, but due to it being a lighter shade, it doesn't bother me at all!
Swatches
Diva Red is coming up extremely pink in this photo, which it isn't at all! It's a beautiful blue toned red! Sweetie hasn't came up as bright as it actually is, in the photo.
My Kate Moss Lipsticks
L-R 04, 15, 02, 01, 03, 107, 110
LOVE the Kate Moss collection that Rimmel do. You can pick up some truly wonderful shades for a really good price. I think I have quite a varied selection of shades, but my absolute favourite (possibly even my ALL TIME favourite lipstick) is the dark red 107 shade from the matte collection.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL. I love everything about this lipstick, the smell, the texture, the staying power & the packaging. I am definitely going to have to make a cheeky repurchase (or 3) of this soon!
The only one I am not very fond of out of these, is the grey/purple/metallic shade (15). I've never worn it outside the house, I just find it a difficult colour to wear.
The dark purple (04) shade is amazing and I find it can be worn many different ways.
03 is a lovely pinky nude colour that is perfect for those days where you don't really want to wear a bold lip colour.
110 is a bright red-y/orange colour, I am usually a massive fan of these shades but I haven't found myself going for this lipstick a lot.
01 is a darker red shade lipstick (darker than the photo shows) I would class it as a safe vampy colour, for those who want the vampy lip look, but are a bit scared to go all the way.
02 is an amazing bright pink colour and I think this sort of shade will always be one of my favourites. What can be better than bright pink lipstick? It reminds me of a Rimmel one I had a couple of years ago (got it really cheap from a make-up stall) it was called 'In Vogue' I think. I done the mistake of allowing my old flatmate to take it on a night out with her. She returned with just the lid (I am still bitter about this!)
Swatches
04 is a lot more purple than showing in the swatch and looks a lot more matte than is shown!

I am thinking of doing more from my lipstick collection (Lipstick is my favourite thing at the minute) Seriously can't get enough of them.
But I don't have as many from each brand as Rimmel, so they could probably all fit in one post, without me rambling on!
Here's a preview of my High-End Lipstick Collection.
I don't have many but it is growing! I will do a post showing you the shades of each of these
:)
And yes, I only have FOUR MAC lipsticks, I have only recently started buying MAC. Gotta say, I majorly regret not getting them sooner.
(Technically I have three MAC lipsticks as two are the same hah)
