Evening!
Ever since I walked into my local department store I've been eying Rita Ora's collaboration with Rimmel! You all know how obsessed I am with chubby sticks/lipstick crayons, it's safe to say that Rimmel's color rush collection of chubby sticks is definitely worth a try! Read on to find out more! :)
The packaging is in no way a true representation of the actual color of "Drive me Nude", I imagined "Drive me Nude" to be more of a tan, light brown color similar to Clinique's "Heaping Hazelnut". But it's more of a pinky undertoned nude color, which might I add, get's double brownie points in my book. I've always hated the nude lipsticks that look like someone has smeared foundation onto their lips. I love the subtle pinky undertone that veers away from being too nude of a nude chubby stick!
As you can see in the picture above, it's in no way a matte-ish finish chubby stick. The number one thing that it checked off on my list, was the moisture factor. I wore this baby for 4+ hours straight and didn't feel any tightness, bleeding into the lines of my lips or flaky bits on my lips. For anyone with dual toned lips, it might not give you the coverage that you want because "Drive me Nude" is semi-sheer. I like it because it gives a subtle hint of "healthy" color to your lips. I've been an avid loather of anything that suggests that it's a nude chubby stick or lipstick, but I absolutely love this color! I've been successfully converted *laughs*
For anyone that prefers more coverage, I suggest trying #130 "I want candy" which is a more pigmented chubby stick in the color rush range.
P.S: I used Rimmel's Scandal eye's thick and thin eyeliner to create my winged eyeliner look!
For all the South African readers, I picked mine up at Edgar's for 99zar::$9.21 which I think is a pretty decent price since you're gaining more bang for your buck!
I hope this review was somewhat helpful! :)
Till we meet again!
Bye Bye!
