Comparing: MAC VS Rimmel

A budget and a high end lipstick that look a like? I always love it when this happens! 

Today I'm comparing MAC to Rimmel. Could Rimmel's lipstick be the budget version of MAC's Russian Red?

Below, you can see the two lipsticks next to each other. They do look similar, don't they?

Swatches! The first one is with flash and the second one is without flash. MAC is the left swatch, Rimmel is the right swatch. I do really think they look similar, the MAC one might just be a little bit darker.

I would say Rimmel's "Kiss of Life" is a pretty good drugstore dupe for MAC's Russian Red. It is slightly less red and a little lighter, but everything else is pretty much thesame!

Thanks for reading!

NEW IN: lipsticks!

Hello lovelies! How are you doing? Are you enjoying the holiday?

Long time no talk, right? I have been doing a lot of fun stuff! I went shopping recently and I wanted to show you the three newest lipsticks that I got. They're not red, but all quite classy and bold. Today I'll just be showing them to you. Reviewing is for later!

Bourjois "Famous Fushia" from the Shine Edition collection. Beautiful hot pink lipstick that feels like a lipbalm!

Bourjois "Violine Strass" from the Rouge Edition collection. A darker, more purple lipstick.

Kate Moss by Rimmel London in "107". Similar to "Violine Strass" but more red than purple.

Do you like them?
Have a nice day, and stay safe!

My favourite red lip products!

Hi sweethearts!
I wear red lipstick on a daily basis and lately I have found two red lip products that are so good I decided to do a post on them.  Both of the products are drugstore so they are budget proof, but the quality is amazing as well!

The first red lip product that I have is the lipstick from Kate Moss by Rimmel London. It's called "111 Kiss of life" and it's the perfect cherry red! The lipstick has great pigmentation and stays on the whole day. You do need to re-apply it after eating.
I payed €9.45 for it, which is a pretty good price for such a good product.

The second product, I got last Friday but I'm really impressed by it already!

It's the Essence stay matt lipcream in "Silky Red". This is a bit like a lipgloss, it's just not sparkly or anthing, it's matt instead. The colour is - just like "Kiss of life" - outstanding. The lipcream is easy to apply.

It stays on a really long time and only needs a little bit of touching up after eating. Even after trying to wipe it off there was still a red stain on my lips.

I payed €1.99 for this product so you could really say it's a budgetproof top product!
