My first post is a review of the Rimmel lip tints because they're probably one of my favourite products. I've had 300 Perpetual Plum for about a year now and it's still got plenty left (except the balm fell out on a night out :( ).
The lip tints are £5.99 each from places such as Boots and Superdrug, but I went to the Beauty Outlet at East Midlands Outlet and managed to get my hands on two more shades - 100 Endless Blossom and 120 Timeless Tango - for just £1.99 each.
The packaging of these lip tints are pretty but not purposeful. Sometimes its hard to get the top on properly - on a night out the top came off drew all over my bag! Also the lip balm is a bit fiddly and ended up falling off. The felt-tip style applicators are so easy to use and make it easy to draw on the colour like a pen however, it would have been nice if the end was a little more pointy to give more precision.
These lip tints last FOREVER! This is why I love these so much! The colours are great and stain your lips for hours. The lip balm is rich and give a great shine so your lips don't feel dry. I swatched these on my hand and after scrubbing them, they were still there the next day. Below is both the swatches and my bare lips.
I'll start with 100 Endless Blossom. I thought this shade would have been a lot lighter on my lips, but really it gave a slightly rosy pink tint to my normal lip colour.
Here is 120 Timeless Tango. This is probably the brightest shade out of the whole collection and is a bright red-pink. I actually prefer this shade to using red lipstick that usually transfers and fades quickly.
Finally is 300 Perpetual Plum which is still my favourite shade. It's a dark red shade and looks a bit brighter in the photograph than what it actually is. Below is it on it's own and then with the balm on top (which actually looks darker for some reason).
