Come up Roses

 Hello,

I feel like I haven't tried anything from Rimmel in a long time so it is about time to show this lippie that I had since last year.

It is Rimmel lasting provocalips with longasting lip tint and hydrating lip balm on the other side in the option Come up Roses.

The tint is dark mauve with some shimmers which become even more obvious when it dries up.

Lip balm looks a bit cheap to me because the balm itself doesn't fill to the sides and it started to move around the tube a bit so I try to twist it up just a little bit everytime I use it.

Here they are freshly applied, colored tint looks very bold and pigmented and balm is just clear but shiny (here it almost looks like it has some golden color to it but it is just the light, it is completely clear).

Here the tint is completely dried and even here it looks dry. This one sucks all the life out of my lips. It visibly dries them, showcases every wrinkle and my lips even feel uncomfortably dry. While the formula is drying I must obtain all the lip smacking otherwise there will be uneven application as shown above in the middle.

On the bottom part of the tint I have applied a light layer of balm to show the color with some shine. The color seems to come to life and my lips instantly feel better. None of the products have any distinctive scent or taste.

This color is nearly impossible to sheer out (I tried but I only make it uneven) and on its own I find it to be too bold for my liking. I absolutely hate dry feeling and how it makes my lips feel. That being said I love the clear lip balm. It is hydrating and I started to use it in the morning after I get up and I start getting ready for the day. 

I think I will only use up the balm and when it will be gone I am tossing this pack. It is just simply not my cup of tea.

Tahnk you for reading and have a nice day
