wanDEARers ♥: Rimmel London The Only 1 Matte Lipstick

I've been hooked into YouTube for months now and I never thought it would be that fun watching someone else's life, likes and stuff...

And I even find myself following some of them too...

Until one day, I came across several makeup YouTubers...

That's when my addiction to makeup started (again).

I love makeup ever since; especially back in college and by the time I graduated. I would sometimes received makeups abroad from my mom's sisters. I don't often wear them though. Mostly, I like using it to do other's makeup. I would ask my sisters, friends and their friends if I can do their prom makeup or graduation... I would get paid sometimes too...

Back then I used to love Mary Kay's. I find their makeups amazing! I only don't get to have MK's makeup products, but at the same time I'd get stuffs like mirrors, umbrellas etc.

But those are for free... mostly gifts from my aunts hehe

I remember the very first MK I bought with my own money... it was a red lipstick... then, a makeup brush set and a bag... and so on.

I think MK products started my addiction to makeups, particularly... lipsticks. If you've been following my blogs you'll know how I'm obsessed with it.

So, when I first arrived here in UAE, I went to a makeup store near my place. I hoard a lot of makeup products (of course that is after watching makeup youtubers raving about their collections haha). The store I went to doesn't have that much selections ** unlucky. If I remember it right, they only have 2 stalls of makeups; Max Faxtor and Rimmel London. I haven't heard of the latter since it's not available in the Philippines (and I'm not a fan of online and youtube thingy before)... so I do not know that thing exist at all. This SA went up to me and said, "Try this one, it's Rimmel and a nice product too." I'm hesitant at first, but she got me to buy my first ever Rimmel product... way to go girl! It's a Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed powder and their Natural Bronzer (which I actually end up liking lol).

Then... I came across a review from some of the Filipina youtubers raving about some Rimmel's. Then I tried to search for it too. I found some good reviews of their lipsticks and so on... I told myself, "why not try it."

So, here it is now... my very first Rimmel London Lipstick 💄

Rimmel London The Only 1 Matte Lipstick

I was just a bit disappointed on how they sealed this baby. They just put a tape around the opening area; which is so hard to peel off and get super sticky after. It's like, "Hey, do you really want me to try you on or not?"

See that 👆

But...

Don't judge the book by its cover!?!

I actually end up liking this baby too... And since I'm getting chapped lips this past weeks, I can't wear full matte lippies. And even though this claims to be a matte finish lip product, it doesn't feel like it. It's still feels a bit glossy on my lips and it's not drying at all.
