Rimmel Colour Show Off Lipstick: Pink Gossip.


Fist up, the packaging is something I'm sure most people love. I hate it. I find the chunky, cheap looking pink thing tacky and embarrassing to whip out if I need to reapply. Luckily the product itself is worth it.

The colour is just amazing. Pink Gossip is a cool toned super bright pink. Think MAC Impassioned (dupe post here), just one shade lighter.

The lipstick is super pigmented. The above swatch is literally two swipes.

I really love the formulation. It's a demi-matte, so not particularly moisturising but not quite as drying as a matte. On exfoliated lips over a thin layer of balm Pink Gossip is beautifully velvety and long wearing.

  1. I hate the packaging too. I think it looks cheap. I think Revlon has the best packaging

  3. I love Rimmel Lipsticks - they're great quality for the price. The pink tubed ones smell like watermelon or something! And the other ones smell like jelly beans!
