With my new found love of jazzing up my lips I wanted something a bit darker than the red I brought the other week. While I was in Boots I came across Collections Gothic Glam range, it has a range of 'gothic' lipsticks and nail polishes. I decided to get just one of the three lipsticks for now, but I defiantly will be going back to get the other two.

I brought no3 Revenge, it is a very dark red/purple. It smells quite nice, not too 'old lady' like most lipsticks but nothing like the Kate lipstick I brought the other week, that smells beautiful. It retails at £2.99 I think it was from Boots, but they do sell it in other stores as well. I did try to buy the other two from Asda earlier on but they were all out of stock!



As for wear I wore it out today into town and to Asda, where I also had a meal at home just a baked potato. I did find that it went on very well, I did try it with using a brush and it came out lighter than putting it on straight from the lipstick itself. You could build it up to make it darker but I did quite like how it came out, it is slightly darker than the photo shows. With eating and drinking I did find it came off around the middle of my lips so it would defiantly need reapplying after that.

It is such a beautiful colour though I am so glad I brought it and I defiantly do plan on getting the other two. No1 Seduction is a dark red and no2 Scorned is a dark purple. I think I may also try out some of the nail polishes as well!
I recently brought the Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick in 111 kiss of life.

I never really wear lipstick but I have always wanted to venture out of my comfort zone and start to wear it. I normally go for a lip balm which has no colour to it.

As soon as I saw the colours in the Kate collection I loved it, I loved the fact that it was Matte as I feel that sometimes with lipstick the lips can look a bit too shiny which for me personally I do not like.

It took me about 20 minutes to decide what colour to buy from my local Boots because the colours are so pretty! I decided to go with 111 Kiss of life, which is a matte red, quite a bright red but as it is matte I think I can pull it off. At Boots it is £5.49 which isn't too bad for a lipstick really!

As for the lipstick itself it goes on perfectly, although I do prefer applying it with a small brush. It doesn't smell like other lipsticks, it smells very fruity. As for lasting, I wore it recently in to town where I went for a Chinese meal and a trip to the cinema. I found that it did last quite well although I did have greasy food and so I did have to reapply it after this and after drinking quite a bit of water, but apart from that it lasted really well!




Buying this lipstick has made me want to buy a lot more mainly darker colours for fall, I have already brought another from a different brand which I shall do another post on once I have worn it out a few times.
