I bought this earlier in the week as I got itchy fingers for a decent lipstick after my disappointments from the Rimmel 1000 kisses lip tint and the Revlon just bitten lip stain.
I'm so glad I picked this up! The Kate lipsticks are becoming a fast favourite of mine (my Kate Matte lipstick in 107 is my all time favourite) and this one doesn't disappoint at all! I was originally looking for the shade 019 but they didn't have it so I picked up 008 instead! I'll definitely be looking into the other shades from this range.
As always, the packaging is simple but very pretty. Unlike the Matte version of this lipstick, the packaging is black and I love it! I really want to collect more purely so I can line them up and look at them!
As you can see, the colour is really subtle but it is slightly darker in real life so it gives a 'lips but better' look. It's a really great every day colour and it has an amazing staying power - it was still on after eating and having a glass of water so I was impressed! These lipsticks also smell amazing which is always a nice change from the horrible plastic smell you can sometimes get from lipsticks. The application is as smooth as ever and is soft and creamy when on which is great! In real life, the colour is semi-matte with a slight sheen which also gives the more natural look which I love - this is definitely my favourite nude lipstick!
At £5.49 from Boots, this lipstick is such a great investment and I really recommend buying one - I'm probably going to buy another sooner or later!

I really like the colour! I love subtle shades like that

It's probably my favourite colour at the moment, it gives just enough colour and is so pretty! xx
DeleteThat's a really gorgeous colour! I've never tried the Kate Moss range yet, are they worth it? I've seen quite a lot of hype about them. I love some of their other ranges x
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes!! 100% recommend, my favourite drugstore line! Both colours I have (one a bright red, the other this light pink) are amazing quality and have great staying power! Definitely buy one if you have a spare £5 lying around! x
DeleteOoo I shall have to have a look at them more next time. I seem to be building up quite a collection haha. All I need now is to figure out how to keep it on longer haha x
DeleteYou should! Same here - I have so many, it's rather worrying! I know, some just don't stick! x
DeleteYeah its frustrating sometimes I don't like carrying more than I have to around with me so more often than not doing having anything to top it up haha. I should rethink that maybe. Oh I know and I've just ordered a new lip gloss on-line that I couldn't resist! x
DeleteI'm completely the opposite and always carry too many lipsticks around...I counted 9 in my bag a few days ago! I always have a couple of staple colours (a nude, baby lips and a few lip balms) and whichever one I decide to wear that day if it isn't one of them! It's horrendous! Haha, I buy way too many...too many pretty colours! x
DeleteBlimey that's a lot! Haha, I don't tend to have anything to use to put it back on when I do haha, even so unless I'm somewhere other than work or college I don't actually have my bag with me aha.Although I do tend to have lip balm or something similar in my bag. Oh I know! I'm just starting to get into purple reds so every time I see one I'm always like I have to try it! x
DeleteI know...I have a problem! :P I just wipe the excess off with a tissue then put it back on straight from the tube! I carry a chap stick, a couple of tinted burt's bees and a normal burt's bees lip balm...it's worrying! Try the Kate Matte lipstick in 107, it's such a gorgeous red! x
DeleteHaha fair enough. I couldn't put lipstick on without a mirror aha. Fair enough, I've never tried the burt's bees lip balm. I tend to have the Nivea Vanilla and Macadamia Lip Butter in my bag. My problem is I have so much other stuff in my bag, that I don't need, currently there is my DS an empty camera case and two plays; one I am actually doing this term but the other I'm not doing until after Easter! on top of the stuff I use every day haha. I shall check it out when I'm next in Boots or Tesco x
DeleteI can only do neutral lipsticks without a mirror, I wouldn't even attempt doing a bright without a mirror! Burt's bees are amazing, probably one of my favourite lip balm brands, and they smell amazing! Haha! I carry around books that I'm not doing yet too, it's stupid as I already carry a lot! You should, it's my favourite red! x
DeleteAh fair enough. I haven't even tried that really. Cool :) I've seen a lot about them. Yeah I don't understand why I do it, it's not that huge thankfully so it doesn't make the bag to heavy. x
DeleteThey're really good, one of my favourite lip balms! I have a huge bag, it's not good! I'm surprised it's lasted so long without a strap breaking! x
DeleteI love the colour, it's so pretty! The Kate Moss range is amazing x
