Rimmel Color Show Off Lipstick


I got this shade in Pink Excess for just £1.99 from fragrance direct. There is two other shades left in the color stay collection but unfortunately this one is sold out. I don't know for definite if this as been discontinued because it's still on the Boots website but down as sold out.


I love the pink chrome type packaging, with pink being one of my favourite colours this is what initially draw me to it unlike other Rimmel lipstick this is really girly. It's a beautiful shade of pink. The only problem is its one of them lipsticks that show all your lip problems dry patches and chapped lips, with the lipstick being dry on the lips it clings to them problem areas. I use a lip balm/vasaline as a base before applying the lipstick which gives it a smooth finish. This is quite a neutral pink with a shimmer and i will be reaching for this over the spring/summer.

    1. Thank you hannah. It is a gorgeous colour but with it being matte it clings to all the problem areas if you have any. Which i don't but i can notice problems and i love a smooth finish even with a matte lipstick. I however have no problems when putting on a lipbalm to giving it a more smooth and even finish :) xxx

    1. Yes i wanted to tone down the shade a bit so went for something a little more neutral and more everyday. This picture doesn't do much for the shade though. I should of used my flash :) xx

  4. great review, I'm always looking for new lipsticks to try. I tend to put lip balm on before lipsticks if I can remember anyway as I do get quite chapped lips so this is probably one I'll keep my eye out for!
    Thanks for sharing, and the colour looks fab :)

    By the way, I've just nominated you the Versatile Blogger Award, it'll be great if you could check it out x
