I LOVE THIS LIPSTICK! I'm pretty pale and this soft rose color is just perfect. Very moisturizing and long-lasting. I love it!!

I loved this lipstick and had no idea it was Kate Moss anything when I purchased. I love the color, looks pretty on me and I have very little natrual lip color. Pretty pink color not too pink or too light or dark. Price was fantastic.

Overall, this lipstick is good but not the best I've ever tried. I still prefer Revlon over this.

Colour: I ordered this online so was apprehensive about the colour. I checked the colour swatches online but the colour of the lipstick looked nothing like the colour swatches. The lipstick is a mauvey yet pinky colour so it looks like a pinky version of MLBB, which is not the look I was going for. The swatches looked more natural MLBB. I'm quite tan so the pinky colour doesn't look very natural or flattering on me. I don't recommend this colour to tan people!!

Product: The lipstick itself is soft and the colour goes on easily. However, there isn't much staying power and the lipstick disappears quite easily even without eating/drinking. The lipstick also has a really weird smell which I don't really like, but thankfully it disappears quite quickly upon application.

Packaging: The packaging is exactly as it looks in the picture. The packaging does not feel plasticky or flimsy so I think it'll hold up well in any make up bag. On the downside, it doesn't feel particularly luxurious either and its just a very normal lipstick case.

I wouldn't buy this again because I think the Revlon lipsticks which I usually use are much better. Although this is cheaper, the Revlon ones are definitely worth the higher price.

This is my favorite lipstick in the Rimmel line and one of my all-time favorites as well! I tend to like all Rimmel lipsticks, but the new Kate Moss line seems to have even nicer colors (although I STILL wish Rimmel would offer more variety!).

This is definitely a MLBB color on me. I would described it as a fleshy pink, but it definitely gives my lips color and is NOT a nude. It goes on super-creamy, AND it seems to last forever--for some reason, it has BETTER staying power than the other lipsticks I've tried in the Kate Moss line! I would definitely purchase #08 again.

This is a surprisingly great lipstick. On me, it's a neutral, soft rose/nude, and the texture is firm and even. I love this lipstick because it's not too orange, too gray, too brown, too light, or too dark. It's the perfect saturation of color and hue for my skin, and it makes me look polished but super-natural. I'm also surprised by how good the texture and wear are. A lot of drugstore lipsticks are too greasy. They shift around and disappear quickly or don't apply evenly. This lipstick wears better than MAC, imo, and it's comfortable. Some people may be put off by the scent–it's a bit of a strange spicy floral, but I'm used to it. I had never tried a Rimmel lipstick before this one, but really impressed by the quality of this shade.

Excellent MLBB shade for me. Rich, mauvey neutral color with a slight cool tone to it. It really is the same color as my lips, just deeper. I especially like to wear this color with jewel-toned clothing.

Goes on well, especially over balm. Stays put, too, although after a couple of cups of coffee I need to retouch.

Not a super-matte finish - slight sheen to it and a very faint, unobtrusive scent.

Between this and #14, I have my two go-to, everyday shades. Hope they never ever discontinue these, but just in case, I have several backups!!

This lipstick is a MLBB shade; it's supposed to be a cream (no shimmer), but on me it looks a little bit frosty, which is not my favourite finish :/ So I have to be in the mood to wear it. I find that, if I don't moisturize and exfoliate my lips prior to wearing this, it makes my lips awfully dry. It wears for about three or four hours whithout eating and drinking. It's an okay lipstick, but there's much better lipsticks out there.

I wanted more of the Kate Moss line after purchasing #11 & #6, so I gave this rosey mauve a try. Definitely not a typical color for me -- I'm deep brown, so I usually go bold or glossy. But I adore the creamy pigmented formula of these lipsticks and decided to try it anyway. On me, it's too pale pink alone, but it has enough of a hint of caramel to do a pinky nude lip with a brownish liner. It's got a slight shimmer that keeps the paleness from looking chalky. I've topped it with Bigelow's plum mint mentha lip tint and absolutely love that combo. It's not a color I would buy again or really recommend for darker skin tones, but it's overall a good product.

Great colour but so moist it fades fast. Why bother putting it on? There are better lipsticks out there that last more than an hour.

Oh, how I wish I could give this 5 lippies! I've been searching for YEARS for an adequate replacement of my old, beloved, now sadly discontinued Maybelline Windsor Rose, which is the best MLBB shade I've ever had, and I've finally found it! Shade-wise, at least. It's a perfect dusky rose with a little bit of warmth to it; very natural and great for everyday wear. The other good news is that the packaging is adorable (sleek black with Kate's signature and heart in red along the side), and I found it very affordable - $5, even without a coupon!

However, the formula itself could use a *lot* of work. It only stays on for a few hours (and that's without meals) and rubs off really easily, and when it does rub off, what's left dries into this really unpleasant flaky crust around the corners of your mouth. I've also found it to be fairly drying, and it does tend to highlight any cracks or lines in your lips, which enhances the dehydrated-looking effect. However, a layer of balm under the lipstick itself seems to solve most of these problems (otherwise, even despite the perfect shade, I would not be repurchasing), so it's not unworkable, just needs a little extra attention.

I was a bit surprised that one reviewer said it wasn't complimenting to her skin tone, she's a NC42. I'm a NC42 as well and I think this compliments my skin tone beautifully, in a sense this color is a mlbb lip product, it's a creamy matte pinkish brownish nude sort of speak. I love this product and will stock up on this a long with trying other colors in this collection.

I didn't buy the lipstick because it has Kate Moss' image and name associated with it...I bought it 'cause I figured, for $4.97USD at Walmart, what the heck, why not try it. 08 is a nice creamy tea rose with a fruity fragrance (cherries, I think) and no taste. The color goes on smoothly, lasts well, and looks great with most of my outfits. I'm carrying this one around now as one of my go-to colors. You can't beat it with a stick!

It is a beautiful colour, and actually when I first wore it I got several compliments on it. It is a bit cool-toned so it works well with blue or grey smokey eyes--not so much with warm browns, though. I always use it with benefit strut on eyes= perfect combo.
The problem is that it makes my lips appear wrinkly and parched. This doesn't normally happen with other lipsticks, including Rimmels' others. I have to use a gloss on top and the parched, crinkly look is still there. Hence, no repurchase.

I just picked this up after getting the #14 from watching Nuberxo yt Its a very rich formula, super creamy & opaque and I love the sleek black packaging with the little red heart. I'm NC25 and this is a rosy pink shade, almost coral. But not a loud color, just brightening shade. It makes me look more awake and gives a healthy flush overall. Its also pretty affrodable, around $5, one of the cheaper ds lippies but I think its of the best quality, far superior to L'oreal & Revlon even.

Nice feel on the lips but I won't buy again. I'm giving it away. I like rose toned neutrals with a mauve cast aka the MLB type BUT this goes a muddy reddish opaque peachy brown. I like peach but not this. I also tried the 07 shade but it went straight opaque peach. More wearable but not for me.

I suggest trying a stripe of the lipstick next to a stripe of one you know and like. It may go darker or more opaque than you think. In Rimmel lipsticks the only one that works is Drop of Sherry. At least for me.

UPDATED: This one and the other 07 that I tried gave me a rash on my lip line. I've downgraded it to a 1 star from a 3, and this product hit the trash.

I bought Rimmel Kate 08 on a sale at CVS (I also had a coupon, so the price was great). It's a beautiful, muted rose color. The finish is supposedly a matte texture, but I find it's a bit creamier than traditional matte lipsticks (a plus in my book).

The color is gorgeous! It's a great everyday lipstick. I'm also a huge fan of the smell/taste. It's sort of a warm cinnamon/vanilla.

I have to say I dont like the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks. I can't comment on the longevity of the color, because I didn't wear it long enough to see how it performs. The smell/taste was too disgusting for me to bear. The Kate line is a nice alternative to that. I wish they had more color choices in that formula.

I plan on trying a few more Kate colors. I'm thinking of picking up 01 and 14.

I purchased this at CVS for Buy one get one 1/2 price, so I spent about $9 for both. This shade is a rosey medium pink. It works well on my fair/cool complexion and brightens up my face. The texture is thicker than most lipsticks and opaque with a matte finish. It doesn't hydrate very well but a bit of balm over the top takes care of that. The packaging is sleek and sophisticated, in a black tube with red writing. I usually use gloss but wanted a lipstick for more staying power and I am happy I purchased this. It's a nice subtle daytime shade and will work well with a neutral eye for the office.

The quality of this lipstick is amazing. It glides on so perfectly and smoothly for me that I just feel like applying it all day long. The only problem is that the colour doesn't really suit me that well, which is too bad. I wish every single lipstick would apply just as nicely as this one does for me.

Great and inexpensive high quality lipstick. The formula is so creamy, smooth, and opaque. Wears well throughout the day and doesn't dry out my lips. On my fair complexion this lipstick comes across as a dusty rose with slight mauve undertones. I find this colour to be very easy to wear and pair with many makeup looks.
