New Kate Moss Lipstick New Shade 02

With Summer just around the corner it's time for some Summer lipsticks. Kate Moss has once again collaborated with Rimmel to bring out a new Spring Collection. Added to her Lipstick range is a gorgeous hot pink lipstick in the shade 02.

The pink is highly pigmented and feels quite moisturising on the lips. I wore a layer of Lipcote over the lipstick and it lasted about 5 hours. Like the older shades, shade 02 has quite a nice scent. The packaging like the previous colours is a black bullet with Kate's signature on the end.

I picked it up for the bargain price of €4.95. Most chemists have this on special at the moment so keep an eye out! This will definitely be packed into my suitcase for my holiday. It's the perfect Summer colour.

*Edit- I just realised I picked up the wrong shade and the new colour in 20 not 02! >:( The new pink lighter than my 02! It's the shade Kate is wearing in the picture though. 

Make that lipstick stay on!

While up the North in Belfast a few months ago I came across a strange little product in Superdrug called 'Lipcote'. I had never heard of this brand but was extremely intrigued by it. It claimed to be 'lipstick's best friend' a lipstick sealer that keeps lipstick in place and stops it from fading. This strange little bottle soon became my one of my favourite beauty products. I was devastated when I lost it as a wedding. Luckily though I came across it in Boots in the Jervis  in Dublin last week! Finding this product again and seeing the very cheap price tag of €3.99 meant I fell in love all over again.

Lipcote is a lipstick sealer that has been around for over FIFTY years! The Lipcote I bought in Boots is a 50th anniversary special packet. Lipcote teamed up with the artist Dora to redesign the packaging and also introduce a vanilla scent to the product.  Just to warn you though this is a product you either LOVE or really HATE. I fall of course into the love side. It can feel and smell strange at first but don't worry you get used to it! 

1. Line your lips with a liner and fill in.

2. Apply lipstick 

3. BOLT with a tissue (Important!)

4. Apply a very light layer of Lipcote over your lipstick. It might sting a small bit like a lip plumper but that    will go away. Be careful not to put too much product on as it will cause your lipstick to go flakey!

5. Keep lips apart while the Lipcote sets. (also don't eat or drink for about 15 mins)

If I follow these instructions I find that my lipstick has AMAZING staying power!  It stays vibrant and does not rub off.  As a tiny bit goes along way this product will last AGES!! It's a must have for lipstick lovers :)
