Rimmel Kate Lasting Finish Lipstick New Shades #19, #20 and #22

At Monoprix in France, I was delighted to discover this new Rimmel spring collection featuring new shades of the Lasting Finish Lipstick designed by Kate Moss.

The display included 01 (classic red) which was released last year, plus #19, #20 and #22. When the Kate Moss collection was first launched last September, there were fifteen shades, with the shade selection varying across different countries. For example, there are 7 shades available in the UK and only 5 shades available in the US. The numbering of the new shades makes one wonder what the other shades between #16 to #21 look like. (If you have seen any of them, do let me know in the comments!)

Moss is sporting #20 in the ad visual. The lipsticks usually retail at €9.50, but Monoprix was running a promotion offering €2 off the new shades so I paid only €7.50 (about S$12.40) for each.

The display also included a new Extra Wow Lash Mascara and four nail polishes.


Kate's signature is printed in pink instead of red, like for the original collection.

The lipsticks come without any external packaging at all, not even a plastic seal which would help immensely to ensure that the products are not tested.

The white stickers bearing the bar code peel off in one piece without leaving any sticky residue. The list of ingredients is not stated.

#19 is a rosy beige, #20 is a bright Barbie pink and #22 is a vivid cherry. #19 appears to be more sheer than #20 and #22. All three have a smooth creamy texture.



Compared to #2, #20 is less vivid and more pink-toned while #22 is a brighter red than #1. I'm pretty sure I'll get plenty of wear out of these!
