These are the two newest added to my collection, I've been wanting the Revlon one for ages and I eventually got round to ordering it. The other lipstick was an unexpected buy, I was just browsing the (very limited) Rimmel make-up in my local Asda store and spotted this lipstick in the George make-up section. I swatched the tester on my hand and noticed it was a pink shade that I didn't have in my collection and for £3.50 I thought I may as well give it a try!
George (Asda) Lipstick - Casino 19 £3.50
Firstly, how similar is the packaging of this lipstick to the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks? Not that, that is a bad thing. I'm quite glad that the packaging isn't one of those horrible cheap clear plastic lids, like you find with a lot of cheaper lipsticks.
The formula of this lipstick is quite creamy and doesn't dry your lips out, it certainly doesn't feel like a cheap supermarket lipstick! It lasted on my lips for around 2-3hrs (with drinking). There was some transfer and when it did start to fade, it faded evenly.
Swatch.
I think this is a very wearable pink shade and would suit the majority of skin tones. It is a slightly more coral pink, but it definitely looks more coral in the photo than it actually is.
Overall I think these are an absolute bargain and if you're ever in your local Asda, go check out the other shades as there was quite a variety.
Revlon Matte Lipstick - Strawberry Suede 005 £7.49 (Amazon)
I've bee lusting after this lipstick for so long and eventually caved and ordered it from Amazon. I am a fan of matte lipsticks so was waiting eagerly for this to arrive. I love the matte packaging of this lipstick and the top of the lip has a clear plastic window where you can view the bullet.
The bullet looks slightly orange, but when swatched and worn on the lips you get to see that it is in fact a pinky-red colour. When I first saw this I thought it was going to be similar to the Kate Moss Rimmel matte lipstick in shade 110 but once I had actually tested this out I noticed that this isn't as bright (which for me, is a good thing).
I am in love with this lipstick! As soon as i put it on, I fell in love with the colour! Usually when I get a drink after applying a lipstick (any lipstick, even the long wearing ones) the lipstick transfers to the glass for the first couple of sips... Not with this lipstick! I had a drink within five minutes of applying it and there was no transfer at all! How brilliant is that?!
Even though this is a matte lipstick, it's not as drying on the lips as you would think.
This lipstick lasted 6-7 hours (including eating & drinking) without any touch ups. When it did eventually start to fade, it faded evenly and not patchy at all. WIN.
Swatch.
It's looking slightly more orange in the swatch above, but that is probably down to my rubbish camera!
This Revlon lipstick has definitely became one of my favorites!
