Beauty review: Rimmel London Colour Rush Lip Balm/Crayons.

Beauty review: Rimmel London Colour Rush Lip Balm/Crayons.

Shade: Give Me A Cuddle.

Shade: Not An Illusion.

Shade: Drive Me Nude.

My next beauty review had to be about these lip crayons. Rimmel have brought out these wonderful lip balm crayons recently, in a variety of many flattering colours for all skin tones. I think out of the colours to choose from, I got the three most nude shades. Nude lip colours will always be my favourite and first choice. I absolutely love lip crayons. I find them so easy to apply, it is a blessing. Sometimes I feel like I have to really concentrate when applying traditional shape lipstick to stay in the shape of my lips or to not put too much on. Whereas with lip crayons, it is just so much easier with less effort to apply as much as you like, and I find the colours look a lot more subtle this way. 

I got the shades: Give Me A Cuddle, Not An Illusion and Drive Me Nude.

Out of these these shades, I would definitely say that Drive Me Nude is my favourite shade. I haven't seen a lip colour quite like it before. The photograph I have taken does not do it justice. It is like a typical nude colour but more brown. I would say it is similar to the colour Taupe with a hint of pink/purple. I have been wearing this colour nearly everyday since I bought it a couple of weeks ago, I think it is so lovely. Give Me A Cuddle is a bright, light pink colour. They also have a bright, hot pink shade (Boom Chic A Boom) but I felt this would be too much for me.. I am too used to my nude shades! Give Me A Cuddle is still bright and noticeable, but not too much. I would say that Not An Illusion is probably the most common colour in the range. As in, you could buy this shade in probably all the lip crayon ranges by all brands. It is a very pretty colour for the lips, I think that it is a colour which could work for all occasions.

In conclusion, I would go as far as to say that I LOVE these lip crayons by Rimmel! I have tried many lip crayons, and so far I have found that this Colour Rush range is by far the best. I love that the colour of the sticks are exactly the same colour when you apply them on your lips. And I love that the colour is excellent just like a lipstick and balmy/glossy at the same, yet you can also still make them look quite natural and not over the top. As they are balm lip crayons, they leave your lips feeling very smooth and even help their condition. I will definitely be purchasing more from this range. I think I will have to be brave and come out of my love for nude shades a bit so that I can try the bright reds and purples.
