I'm always on the hunt for a good moisturizing lipstick since my lips are usually pretty dry (I tend to chew on them as a nervous habit--I should really just exfoliate them with a good scrub and leave them alone!). I thought I would try Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipstick because Rimmel makes some great claims about the formula.
Rimmel says: Ingredients
Lips so cared for, true colour is maximised! Maximised, radiant colour. Innovative formula with 3 super Moisturisers. Lips feel up to 70% more hydrated and up to 60% smoother! SPF 20, Vitamins A, C and E for protected lips.
I chose Coral Shimmer which looked like the perfect color for spring and summer (or any time of year I feel like wearing coral).
This is a really beautiful pinky coral with gold shimmer. I think it looks very pretty with a pinky coral or pinky peach blush like NARS Orgasm.
It is somewhat sheer, lightweight, and has a thin texture. It has a really strong smell that to me smells sort of floral-y and sunscreen-y and kind of skin lotion-y all at the same time (I'm guessing the sunscreen in it probably has something to do with the smell). The scent dissipates after a few minutes, but the first few minutes are kind of unpleasant. It feels slightly moisturizing and not at all drying. It is quite and glossy and kind of slippery.

| Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in Coral Shimmer |
Of note, Rimmel makes one of the few lipsticks at the drugstore with sunscreen. Too bad it isn't a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects from UVA and UVB rays--it only protects from the UVB.
I think this is quite a gorgeous color, but the smell is definitely noticeable, which is disappointing. If you are sensitive to scents you will want to avoid the Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks.
