First Impressions, Rimmel Kate and Australis Colour Inject lipsticks

There are a few really really great things about Mothers day, like showing Mum how much you love and appreciate her. And then there are the things that I enjoy about it that are a little more selfish. Like how the family has to go to a nice restaurant because Mum's the only great cook in the house. And like how everything girly and amazing goes on sale. Perfumes become cheap, it's a great time to buy winter Pj's and then there's the Make-up.

This week at Kmart they had selected lipsticks at $5. Rimmel, Australis, Face of Australia among others. So of course while shopping for Mum, I thought why not pick up a few.

I picked up Australis Colour Inject in Make A Wish (limited edition)
A bright coral orange that almost pushes into red when the light hits it. A great spring/ summer colour, that I'll be wearing in winter anyway! It's so bright with a super creamy formula that seems to last a long time on my lips. Super impressed with this one!

Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate in colours #04 and #20
I've always been a fan of Rimmel lipsticks. They smell amazing and have amazing colour pay off in some really great shades. This range from Kate are 'Infused with Black Diamonds' to make them light reflecting. Two really bold shades, one in a deep purple and the other a bright fuchsia pink that I've read is a great dupe for Mac's Girl About Town. The purple was pretty tricky to apply, so I'd suggest a lipliner and avoiding eating or drinking as it transfers really easily. I adore the blue toned pink, glides on like a dream and lasts forever, know I'll get tonnes of wear out of it. As for the purple I really love wearing it, I just don't know if I have the lady balls to do so in public. But everyone needs a purple lipstick in their collection right?
