These lipsticks are so creamy and moisturizing and some of the colors are beautiful. Nude Delight is one of the most beautiful nudes I've ever seen in a lipstick. It's not too brown or orange but does have some color so it's very wearable. They are pigmented and have good lasting power, but I do have one giff with these lipsticks that makes me wonder if I will go out and buy more, the smell. I've heard many people say that they enjoy the smell of these because it brings back feelings of nostalgia of them trying on their mothers or grandmas makeup when they were young, however, all these smell like to me is an old dusty nursing home. You can smell it strong while you are applying and can continue to smell/taste it for a long while after you put them on. I love the lipstick so much but it honestly makes me a bit nauseous.

I was downsizing my cream lipstick tubes to 50, and in doing so, I threw away ever so many lipsticks. (I'm appalled that I have even 50. Seriously, why?! I can't part with them. I'm addicted.) I now have maybe 10 high end, but the rest are drugstore. My Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks were literally the first to get tossed despite the fact that the colors are absolutely lovely.


These are are so slick, they don't just bypass your toughest liner to feather and seep into lines, they outright smear around your mouth like you're a 5 year old in her mother's makeup drawer. A good moisturizer, whether it be a lotion or a lipstick, can only do its job if it actually stays in the place you need moisture! There are better creamy drugstore lipsticks, like ones offered by Cover Girl, L'Oreal, and Revlon, that feel moist but are solid enough to stay put. You can put lip balm beneath them if you have to.


Also, the horrid slanted lid makes it impossible to store these things upright so you can see the product name. That isn't a dealbreaker, because the lid is the same on Rimmel's Lasting Finish lipsticks. I have several of those; I think they are fabulous.


These remind me of NYX's round lipsticks in that they're too emollient but have a nice selection of colors. These are much worse than NYX, however. I actually kept one of my NYX lipsticks. If you don't like NYX's round lipsticks, then you won't like these.

The more Rimmel products I try out the more I want to buy. Rimmel makes great affordable products that in my, opinion, are decent quality. My favourite lipstick in the whole world is Moisture Renew Electric Plum #300. I don't wear a lot of bold colours as I prefer a more natural look and this shade is perfect for someone who wants some substantial colour but doesn't want to look like they're wearing gobs of lipstick. After all, when your middle-aged you cannot pull off wearing heavy lipstick anymore. Sorry, but it's the truth. This lipstick reminds me of a gloss in a way but it's not sticky in the least and it glides on easily as it is a lipstick. Some lipsticks make my lips chapped but this one doesn't chap them at all. I will mention that you have to reapply after an hour or so but I'm okay with that. Love shade Electric Plum #300. Try it!

Nice lipstick- moisturising (while on lips) and decent staying power considering its level of moisture.

I have 3 colours; spotlight beige (darker nude), nude delight (lighter nude) and vintage pink (darkish pink/purple)- i love love love nude delight as its the only nude i've found that doesn't wash me out whilst still looking nude.

I probably wouldn't purchase if they weren't on offer though

I have two of these lipsticks that I bought at CVS this past summer. I was looking for a product with spf. I have Rose Blush (300) and 380. The pigmentation is pretty good, the lipsticks do not dry out my lips and they last well. But, not through a meal. I don't mind reapplying especially since I can't stand the long lasting lipsticks. They dry my lips out terribly. For the price ($6.99), these are really quite nice lipsticks. Neither one of mine has glitter in them, there is a nice sheen however. I would certainly rebuy both of these colors but now I am forewarned that some of them contain glitter. I really don't want that look. I do not notice any strong scent coming off of these products. They both just smell like lipstick to me.

These lipsticks are fabulous for the price! The shade selection is great and the packaging is pretty purple. Some people complain about the smell but they just smell like lipstick and it's not very strong. These go on smooth and last a decent amount of time. The thing that I like the most about them is that they are creamy. My current favourite shade is Auburn Breeze.

Lovely Lipstick!

The colour variety is pretty lacking. Which is this lipstick's only flaw.

This stuff is wonderfully moisturizing, shiney, and stays a long time. It doesn't cake or leave your lips sucked of moisture. Thank goodness! You can also make the colour really dense and it still delivers on all of the moisturizing effects!

Buy a whole bunch of colours! They will not disappoint!

I own two moisture renew lipsticks, vintage pink and rose bikini. these lippies are really nice and I would recommend them to anyone who has to reapply vaseline/carmex every few hours. The rose bikini lipstick is a light coral/pink colour with lots and lots of shimmer and glitter. A nice spring/summer daytime lipstick. But if you dont like shimmer then do not purchase this

I purchased this in Funtime Fuschia and it was the perfect bright fun colour for me and I loved it and I loved the beautiful purple packaging and it was a decent lipstick but... the smell!

THE SMELL!!

Horrible doesn't describe it. The smell was so strong and made me so nauseated that there is no way I would buy this again, no matter what they do to fix it.

This is a good product, I first bought the lip gloss and got it in 'Diamond Dust' NOT A GOOD IDEA WAY TOO MUCH SPARKLE but then again the name says it all, anyways I got the lipstick in 'Fancy' love it! It's this pinkish, nude looking color that has just the right amount of sparkle perfect for everyday wear! But I took off one lippie for a reason....the smell alone....it smells just like the lip gloss, but other than the it's really creamy!

Oh, hands down my Holy Grail lipstick, F-I-N-A-L-L-Y!
I've tried & purchased numerous pricey brands such l/s by Laura Mercier, EL, Lancome, etc., and then almost all of the drugstore brands. I was beginning to love the CL Lip Perfection line, but the vanilla-cake scent started to bother me a lot, so I got rid of all the crap in my makeup box and wanted to downsize. After searching for & not being able to find "Dreamy Dusk" for Revlon Colorstay lip color, I stumbled upon "Dusty Rose" by Rimmel. It was a crapshoot buy, as I had not read any reviews but wanted a tawny neutral rose. LOVE it, bought it yesterday and am totally in love with this color & formulation! I'm surprised, because I'm repelled by most lipstick scents but I adore this one. I have no idea why, it's not really a food or overt perfume-y smell...After reading Amalzahir's review, I went out and and also got "Iced Coffee"! NICE! Now I have both these 2 colors and I am very satisfied and happy. I'm a l/s woman hands-down, and I am totally happy with Rimmel MR l/s line; please DO NOT D/C!!!!!!!

this is my go-to lipstick and i wear it almost every day!! i got it in soft coral which looks absolutely beautiful on me cuz it compliments my skin tone well, i dunno what i'd do without it, i also love the smell, it smells like waxy perfume, a really elegant smell. The only con to it is that despite its name, i find it kinda drying so wear a lip balm underneath

I have this in Cherrylicious. I love the color, but that's about it. It wears off very easily (even with lip liner and primer underneath) and the texture is gritty.

I've been browsing around lately for a lipstick that had SPF (so I wouldn't have to apply a balm underneath) and came across this lipstick. I thought the fact that it was moisturizing was a nice bonus so I picked one up at the drugstore in "Rose Blush". When I tried it at home, I LOVED the color. It gave my lips color without making it look like I was wearing lipstick. I'll usually blot my lips on a tissue to get rid of excess, and this lipstick does leave a nice little "stain" with a little shine, which I like. The packaging was adorable (I love the purple and the logo on top).
As for the moisturizing, it's definitely not the MOST moisturizing lipstick I've tried. I like Clinique's lipsticks for that. But it does moisturize enough in my opinion (my lips often get dry because I don't drink enough water). It's not super long-lasting. It probably won't last through a big meal, but a sip of water here and there is fine.
Not a perfect 5 lipstick, but I was satisfied and will probably repurchase!

If it wasn't for the absolutely horrible scent and taste, I would love these. I tried Auburn Breeze and it's a great l/s, especially for a ds brand, but the scent is unbearably awful. I tolerated it for about 5 minutes before I scrubbed it off, and I can still detect it. *shivers* It is reminiscent of that horrible "old lady" fragrance scent that EL lippies have. This is really too bad because I liked everything about it otherwise. I just can't get past that scent to actually wear it. I liked the moisture content, felt like a gloss in lipstick form for me, and wasn't all that gritty despite the shimmers. Maybe a little, but not unbearable. I wasn't crazy about most of the shades though, either so pale they'd make me look like a corpse, too dark, or too bright. Auburn Breeze was the only one that had promise and the scent killed it. I won't be trying another until I know for a fact they got rid of that stench. Be warned if you are at all sensitive to scent or taste with these; I didn't think I was either but this was too much. I thought maybe I had a bad tube, then saw other reviews with the same comment. (ALWAYS check with MUA first! *kicks self*) Thankfully I can return this, because it's got to go. Rimmel and I just don't get along, regardless of what product it is, none of them ever work out.

i love this lipstick! the only downside to this line is that they dont have a lot of lipsticks without shimmer. i prefer the lipsticks without shimmer, but ive been learning to embrace lipsticks with shimmer and sheen lately. and i tried this one out. i have a lipstick from this collection in latino number 200 and i love it! it feels smooth and lip balm-y when you put it on. and it moisturizes! the color pay off is gorgeous! i cant wait to buy more lipsticks from rimmel (;

I love the cute purple case! It's adorable. I got the shade "rosette" and it's absolutely wonderful! Such a great formula for a lipstick as it's very moisturizing and rich. For those who don't like to wear lipstick because it chaps up their lips, doesn't last, and flakes off, this is the lipstick for you.
