Kate Moss is a legend and muse whose influence will never die, and Rimmel London has always been one of my most trusted drugstore brands with quality formulas and perfect pricepoints.
​Match made in heaven...

In my eyes, I can never have enough nude lipsticks. Seriously. It's an addiction. And when I came across this stunning peachy/baby pink packaging, I knew I had to have it. I have tried Kate Moss' Rimmel London Lasting Finish lipstick formula before and loved the creamy application and longwear, and her nude collection is no different...

For a delicate, feathered look, this formula is perfect straight from the bullet onto moisturized lips. But for a more defined, clean look, I would line my lips with any nude liner for ultimate staying power.

+ Lasting Finish in shade 42 (left)
This warm-toned, peachy shade is super pigmented, and on my skintone, totally reminds me of a 60s-inspired mod liplook Twiggy might wear with her signature doe-eye. Though coral-toned lips aren't my favorite look, this shade is subtle, soft, and definitely warms up my complexion.

+ Lasting Finish in shade 45 (middle, and worn above)
This cool-toned, rosy shade is my PERFECT nude. The shade matches (almost exactly) my natural lip color, and smooths over my lips with a super pigmented, creamy, and natural finish. I seriously would wear this every day, whether I have a full face of makeup or not. Along with my fave Anastasia Beverly Hills liquid lipstick in the shade Crush (which I reviewed and swatched here), this lipstick also gives me "my lips, but better" vibes.

+ Lasting Finish in shade 48 (right)
Though this shade isn't exactly a "nude" on me, it is quite neutral and wearable for those with fairer skin. The warmer-toned shade is somewhere between chocolate mocha and cinnamon, and is perfect for finishing off a 90s grunge makeup look. Though I wouldn't wear this shade daily, I would definitely use it with a light hand to contour a nude lip for a fuller pout, and if I am going for that 90s look, I would recommend using a lip liner for a perfect, bold lip that won't budge.

+ Scandaleyes Mascara in Jet Black
As far as drugstore mascaras go, Rimmel London always comes out on top for me. I'm a big fan of a big, fluffy applicator, and love when my lashes look long and cat-like. This "broken heart" shaped brush really separates lashes for extra volume, without creating those clumped, spidery lashes. The formula is quite liquidy and thin, and has a satin finish for an ultra sultry look. Not to mention, the gunmetal packaging is just so London rock 'n' roll.

+ Lip Conditioning Lip Balm in 01 Clear
This lip balm disguised as a lipstick is everything. This winter, my lips have been pretty dry (which I know has a lot to do with drinking water), and nothing seems to help all that much. This moisturizing balm instantly smooths over dry lips, primes lips for longer-lasting lipstick, smells absolutely delicious, and leaves my lips with a soft and healthy glow. My new makeup staple.

Visiting the UK is at the top of my to-do list...
