I was enticed by the cute purple packaging to try these lipsticks out. I grabbed Rose Blush, which is a lovely MLBB shade. The name accurately describes the shade-its a dark, dusty rosy pink. It feels like a dream going on: opaque, smooth, no settling in lip lines or bunching.

However, this happened to actually be drying on my lips by the time the product wore off-which was only after 3 hours! It had already faded after one and was stainlike by the 2nd. The lipstick completely vanished by hour 3. However, it faded evenly.

And while the packaging is, in my eyes, cute, it feels very light and cheap in my hand. I fear that this may be crushed easily if one were to travel with it, or cracked/broken if it were to accidentally drop.

This lipstick is very moisterizing. The smell is bad but if you can get over it, these lipsticks are great! Their very pigmented and stain your lips all day with the color. It glides on nice, the shimmer isn't gritty I always apply a lip balm first tho (eos). The packaging is so girlie! Totally worrth a try!

I bought this color as an alternative to nude shades, which tend to wash me out. I line first with a neutral -Lord n' Berry Blush works well-brush to lightly smudge out the harsh lines and then apply. Very moisturizing and a nice alternative to nude on me...makes any smoky eye pop without overpowering.

I've been on a red kick with l/s lately but wanted something that was just 'natural' looking...this is it...this is Nars Dolce Vita with some life to it, some subtle shine...this on me looks like a high end rose color, not overly done, just, well lady like. I love the smell it reminds me of suntan lotion from my childhood. It's just an easy l/s to pull off for anyone, it's not going to knock anyone out or make a statement but for those days when I want just a bit of color, this is it...my hunt is over for a natural, rosy l/s...give it a try.

This lipstick is a nice sheer medium rose color and just a hint darker than my natural lip color. I find this to be a lipstick I would wear when I want a softer lip look. The packaging is cute too. It doesn't feel overly moisturizing though it also isn't drying. Just seems like a simple lipstick, nothing too special about it. The only thing that I hate is the scent. I don't understand why companies have to put odd fragrances in their lip products. I will keep it around to use up on days when my lips just need a hint of color, but it isn't something I am absolutely in love with or would repurchase.

Love this shade! It's about a shade darker than my natural lip colour when applied, which is what I usually go for since I like more of a natural look. I imagine this shade would be quite flattering for light-medium skin-tones as its not overly bright. It has pretty good pigmentation, so you don't need to keep layering this to get a nice colour payoff. In terms of moisture, these aren't so good and do feel slightly heavy on my lips so I wear a lip-balm underneath. 'Rose Blush' is a creme finish with a tiny bit of micro shimmer. The shimmer isn't so noticeable on the lips as it is in the tube, which is great for me considering how I hate super shimmery lipsticks.
I didn't like the scent. Smells a little bitter in my opinion, but.... for such a pretty colour and price I would consider getting this again if I ever needed to. :D

This is my perfect lip color, meaning it's like my lip color but perfect. It's very moisturizing and it's lacking in lasting power, but it is my go-to lip stick when I want something that is very underrated and natural. It is a nice rose color with golden undertones/shimmer.

I love all of Rimmel's moisture renew lipsticks and this color is flattering on me.
It is very lightweight and moisturizing. It smells like sunscreen to me (which I actually like). The color is medium to sheer and has some non-gritty shimmer. I would recommend these lipsticks highly, although at my CVS the colors I like are often sold out!

I really like this lipstick! So many lipsticks seem drying to me, I have to have a feeling of moisture on my lips, however; gloss is too sticky for me. This is the perfect answer! I love this color -- fresh, wearable, everyday shade.

I hate this lipstick. The price is reasonable. The smell of it is disgusting. The texture is moisturizing and instead of being creamy its greasy on the lips. I hate sheer lipsticks and this lipstick is sheer. The color is a sheer medium rose or pink. The color is not flattering on my pigmented brown lips. The packaging is purple with a crown on the top.

This just might be an HG pink for me. I cannot pull off pinks typically, not sure why. I've tried everything from bubblegum pinks to deep berry colors and it is rare that I find a pink that I can wear without toning it down, swiping only once, or otherwise modifying it to make it work. This lipstick is perfect just the way it comes!

This lipstick has a great color. I just don't like the small/taste of it so much, but for the price, this product is really worth it.

This lipstick is great, and I love wearing brighter lip colors in the summer. The color appears like a nice rosy color, but on my lips it's almost a hot pink.This is very moisturizing and almost feels like a chap stick. It's not very long lasting, but I still think it is very good quality for drugstore. I bought it because it was not as expensive as other drugstore lipsticks ($7), but also because of the color, and I was not disappointed!

This is a nice lipstick, I love how moisturizing it is and I don't mind the smell, I actually like it..
It's a little bold for me, but I tone it down with a nude underneath and then it's perfect.

Another good one from the Moisture Renew line. This one is a beautiful rosy shade that is fairly opaque, creamy and moisturizing. It almost feels like a lip balm, but with a slightly thicker consistency. The only drawback is that I don't find it to be very long lasting. Maybe this is a tradeoff you get with the moisturizing effect. I also really don't like the smell, but as others have mentioned it does fade quickly. Aside from that, I am very pleased with this one. I love Vintage Pink and Dreamy too.

The only thing I don't like about this lipstick, is the smell. It has that classic "old lady" rouge smell to it, and it didn't fade away as the day went on.

The color, and formula are awesome though, and I'll suffer through the smell for those two things.

No frost or shimmer, just a beautiful creamy warm natural pink. Wears off fast, but I'm used to gloss, so no biggie. Most spf lipstick formulas dry my lips out and I can't wear them, but this one doesn't dry my lips out at all.

Rose Blush is a lovely rose-pink that is slightly darker and rosier than my normal lip color. I bought this (along with Coral Shimmer, which I have yet to try and Pink Chic which I love) when Walgreens had them for 40%-off sale.

The packaging is kind of off-putting at first (metallic chrome purple) but is has a punk feel to it and it does seem cute. :)

Compared to the old Lasting finish lipsticks, I think these are definitely creamier and give a better gloss.
Rose Blush is nice for an everyday look with more toned-down makeup or an office setting. It is a beautiful color, and seems to fade evenly. There is little to no smell that i could detect (especially compared to the older cinnamon scent of the Lasting Finish line). I can't wait to try other colors in this line!

Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks aren't getting enough love, especially
the shade Rose Blush #3. This is a medium-toned warm pink that has a nice glowy finish without frost or shimmer. It's the perfect everyday shade for my fair porcelain complexion. Yes, there is a perfumy scent that I would prefer not be there, but it fades fairly quickly. Moisture Renew lipsticks apply smoothly, and of course, feel moist on the lips. Very cute metallic purple case with a little crown on top. Nice drugstore find! NC15/hazel green eyes for reference.

I have very dry lips, and this products does a good job of keeping them moisturized. I can't wear a lot of other lipsticks, but this one really lives up to its "moisture renew" claim.

This product's scent isn't the greatest, but it's not that bad either. It also lasts a couple of hours before I need to reapply (as long as I'm not eating or drinking). As far as color goes, this is a really nice pink for people with brown skin. It's pigmented, but still subtle enough for me to wear to work. All in all, I'm happy I purchased this lipstick & plan on getting more in the future.

I wanted to try Rimmel's lipsticks since I had heard they are less drying than other drugstore lipsticks. I picked up this color, swatched it thinking it would be a MLBB but it is actually pretty rosy and bold.. definately don't feel comfortable wearing this without wiping a bit off and wearing it as a stain. It does apply a little gritty like other ppl were complaining about and there is a smell although all lipsticks in drugstores have weird smells (esp l'oreals) but I can look past that. I will have to try to figure out how to use it up, but I would not repurchase..
