Lipstick Review and Swatches: Rimmel Moisture Renew Dazzling Duchess Collection

The other day I picked up three shades from Rimmel London's Dazzling Duchess Collection, which came out in early June. I had wanted to try the revamped formula of this line and was even more excited that the lipsticks now had SPF20.

See what I think of these lipsticks after the jump!


This is how Rimmel describes them:
Give your lips the royal treatment.
Moisture Renew Lipstick reduces lip dryness by up to 65% with vitamins A, C, & E.  6 new rich, vibrant shades in berries, pinks, and nudes.  Apply Moisture Renew Lipstick for smooth, hydrated lips with intense color.
Dermatologist tested.

The bad thing about super-moisturizing lipsticks is that sometimes they are so slippery on the lips that they barely last and end up all over the place. But I wanted to give these a chance and I really liked them. They're very pigmented and each last me about 3 to 4 hours of perfect wear before a touch up is needed.  

Let's Get Naked is a pinky-nude that is perfect for work or a smokey eye. The pink in this fits my lips so much better than another nude in the Moisture Renew line, Nude Delight.

Back to Fuchsia is a cool-toned bright fuchsia pink.  This is one of those shades you really have to be in a funky mood to wear.

As You Want Victoria is a bit deeper and warmer than BTF. For daytime, I'll be paring this and Back to Fuchsia with a simple eye (no eyeshadow and just a touch of eyeliner, just mascara, so very J.Crew).

Final Thoughts:
The new Rimmel London Moisture Renew lippies (retail price: $6.99) did surprise me with their pigmentation, non-drying quality and shade range, but they don't blow my breath away like the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers did.

 Hope you enjoyed!
