Have you ever wondered how some lipsticks seem to last forever while others fade with every sip? Well, today we’re talking about one that promises to stick around for up to 8 hours—Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in the shade Alarm. A bold claim, right? But how does it actually hold up in real life? Let’s break it down.
The Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick is designed for all-day wear. The brand promises a long-lasting formula with a creamy, smooth texture, so you don’t have to worry about constant touch-ups. It’s got a sleek, easy-to-use bullet, making application quick and precise, and it claims to provide vibrant color with a comfortable feel that doesn’t dry out your lips. The shade Alarm itself is a vibrant red, leaning a bit towards the orange side, which makes it bold but wearable for everyday occasions.
Now, let’s talk about the texture. The lipstick glides on smoothly, which I absolutely love. It doesn’t tug at the lips, and there’s no dryness, even after a few hours of wear. It has a creaminess to it that feels moisturizing without being overly slick. The color is rich and pigmented, which is great for a product at this price point.
As for the long-lasting claim, I have to say, it holds up pretty well. After a full day of wearing it, I found that the color stayed intact—only a slight fading in the center of my lips, which is pretty standard for most lipsticks after meals or drinking. But overall, the Rimmel Lasting Finish did what it promised, sticking around for those 8 hours without the need for constant touch-ups. However, do keep in mind that it’s not completely transfer-proof. So if you’re planning to kiss or drink from a glass, you might notice some transfer, though it’s not as bad as other formulas I’ve tried.
Now for the pros: The color payoff is fantastic, and the creamy texture makes it comfortable to wear throughout the day. It’s definitely a win for those who want a bold lip without the dryness that can often come with long-wearing formulas. It’s also affordable, so you’re getting pretty great value for the price.
On the flip side, the cons: While the lipstick lasts quite well, it’s not entirely transfer-proof, and it may fade a bit unevenly after eating or drinking. So, if you’re looking for something that stays flawless no matter what, you might want to consider a more smudge-proof, matte formula. But for everyday wear, it performs just fine.
As for value for money, I’d say it’s absolutely worth it, especially considering its price point. There are certainly higher-end lipsticks out there, but this one gives you solid performance without breaking the bank.
When comparing it to other drugstore options, it holds its ground. It’s not quite as long-lasting as some other lipsticks, but it’s also a lot more comfortable to wear, which is a huge plus for me. If you’re someone who values comfort and vibrancy over 100% staying power, this might be your perfect match.
In terms of build quality, the packaging feels sturdy, and I appreciate the twist-up tube that doesn’t feel flimsy. It’s simple, but it works.
If you’re on the hunt for a lipstick that delivers both color and comfort, without the hefty price tag, Rimmel Lasting Finish is a great choice. If you’re looking for something more transfer-resistant or with a matte finish, there are other options that might suit your needs better.
