by - 11:47:00

Hey everyone!! We cannot deny that all of the lipstick lovers (Well, most!!) had started off with or have used at least once a lipstick which cost below Rs.100 and gaped in wide horror at the ones which had high price tags on them. ;) Slowly, our budget increased and we ventured into the pricey ones too. But once in a while, our heart skips a beat when we find high quality products in an affordable price tag and especially when we have been convincing ourselves that quality comes with higher price.
So ladies! Here I present to you two beauties- A TRUE RED and a TRUE FUCHSIA below Rs.500! ;) Yes! I am talking about Rimmel London Lasting Finish lipstick in shades Alarm #170 and Kate Moss No. 20.

Price: Rs. 215 for 4 gms. Which means, you will be able to get yourself BOTH a red and a fuchsia for less than Rs.500! ^_^
What attracted me:
1.Like any other lipstick lover, I too wanted a good red and a fuchsia in my kitty. When I had purchased these two, I was still in college and with a limited budget. So price DEFINITELY is the first factor which attracted me.
2. Unlike the popular notion that lesser price lipsticks have lesser pigmentation, these two are INSANELY pigmented! One swipe and you are good to go. The texture is ultra smooth and they do not bleed from the corners of your lips.
3. They do not settle into lines and give a moisturized look to the lips.
4. Coming to the color, Alarm is a true red which looks warmer on me, but I have seen swatches online where it looks EXACTLY like the creamier version of MAC Russian Red which is a cult blue-based red in itself. Whether cool-toned or warm-toned, I will leave that for you to decide yourself on seeing the swatches. No.20 on the other hand is a beautiful cool-toned Fuchsia. Both shades would complement an array of complexions! Both the swatches are single swipes and are taken in natural day light

5. Packaging is normal purplish black plastic case for one and a matte black plastic case for the other. The cap click shuts nicely and thus would not come off in your purse.

6. On me, they stay on and on till I remove them. I had kept them on for 5 to 6 hours at the most. Beyond that, I feel they would fade away evenly. They survive snacks quite well but yes, becomes a tad lighter with meals.

What can keep me off them
1. Availability! These are such popular shades that they are almost always out of stock. And when we keep on waiting for too long, other products finally land in our kitty :(
2. I am currently into matte reds and Alarm, although a beautiful red, does not fit the bill. It is creamy. For all those who love creamier reds and fuchsias, they are THE ONES for you :)
Rate: 5/5
This is how Alarm looks on me

With love!
