Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 240 Undressed Review

Last time I visited the Rimmel counter at Shopper's stop, the SA was extremely warm and nice to me which is not the case most of the time. In fact, I don't visit certain stores where those arrogant SA's literally piss me off. She remembered that I preferred nude lipsticks and showed me few amazing shades that just arrived at the counter. I was skeptical on using a Rimmel lipstick as I had never used before but the price tag was surprising to me. I must say that all the Rimmel liner to lipsticks and glosses are well priced though the availability of the products is really an issue. Nevertheless, she showed me a beautiful peachy nude and insisted that I should try one of them. So I bought this nude shade called Undressed. Do you want to know what my first impression on Rimmel lipsticks was? Read on to find more details.

My Experience With Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick 240 Undressed:

The lipstick comes in a dark purple plastic body which is extremely light weight. The lipstick has a usual twist up function and there is a silver strip wrapped around the plastic body with the brand name inscribed on it. The shade name and number is written at the bottom. It does not have an overtly classy packaging but is good enough to travel around. Coming to its shade, it is peachy nude shade with no shimmers at all. The color neither washed me out nor it was dark. It was my perfect MLBB till date. The shade will only suit if you have a fair skin and will wash out even slightly dusky skin tones. The shade is versatile enough for both warm and cool tones. If you are wearing this shade, make sure to darken your eyes at least slightly otherwise it will give a pale look to your skin.

The formula of this lipstick is absolutely creamy but appears matte on lips and glides on the lips like a dream. Chapped and dry lips will have no issue as the lipstick thoroughly moisturizes the lips for a long period of time. Although the lipstick is creamy, it doesn't crease or settle over fine lines. The pigmentation is as impressive as it can get. With just one swipe, all the flaws on the lips get covered. Several swipes of the lipstick feels heavy on the lips, therefore I prefer using the lip brush for application and it gives a finish like a pro. The color stays on my lips for 3-4 hours with snacks and drinks in between but it doesn't survive heavy meals. If I judge the lipstick based on its price, I would call it a steal.

Final Note:

This lipstick has completely blown me off with its amazing quality and color. Till date, no other MLBB has been so beautiful on my lips except a Colorbar shade. I agree that the shade is nude and can wash out some skin tones, but if it suits you – it is the most beautiful color. So if you think you liked this particular shade, just grab it. I am already planning to buy few more shades from this family.
