   I just found this at target a couple days ago and I LOVE this shade! I have very very fair porcelain skintone and it looks great against my pale skin. My husband likes it. Im very VERY picky with red shades because I feel like they make me look clownish really easily but this one is great! It stays on well through out the day unless you eat which is obvious. Packaging is meh and I wish it had no scent but otherwise, great lippie.

   I don’t know how this has such high reviews, I’m only keeping it in my collection because I can’t bear to toss out full tubes. Great colour, but what’s the point when it *does not* stay on your lips! It bleeds like mad and settles into the crevices of your lips! I layer my best lip liner on my entire lip–that solves the crevices, but it still manages to bleed! It’s also very drying, so if your lips weren’t peely before, they will be now!

   Anybody who’s had luck with this, I’lI swap you mine for free. (Message me)

   I recently bought my second tube of this, it’s literally the best burgundy/plum color ever. I see someone mentioned that it is discontinued, which is very disappointing honestly. It’s only like six bucks, which personally is a really good buy. It’s such a gorgeous color and is so flattering and sexy. I always get compliments on it. Yes it’s very dramatic so it isn’t for everyone..

   I’m a big fan of this lipstick! The colour of it is perfect for me for fall. It had decent lasting time, considering I’m a frequent user of MAC lipsticks. I only had to reapply once or twice in my 14 hour day. It took a while to get it to look right, because it wasn’t very smooth, but once I got it to a consistency that I liked, it looked fabulous. After thoroughly checking the Rimmel website, I found that it is discontinued in all countries that Rimmel services (as of February 3, 2015). People have been selling it on eBay but I don’t know if it’s worth the trouble.

   I bought this on a whim because it was on sale and I liked the colour. Because it was so cheap, I didn’t expect much out of it, especially since I normally use MAC lipsticks. I was pleasantly surprised with this! The colour is a nice wine red colour. And the lasting power is amazing. The colour pay off is very opaque and the texture is smooth, my lips never feel dry. The finish isn’t matte which is why I’m so surprised it’s so long lasting. Yesterday I put it on at 6 in the morning and at 4pm it was still there like I had just applied it. I ate, I had coffee. Needless to say, good job Rimmel.

   I love this lipstick, in specifics the color. The staying power is not so good. I put this over a red liner and it creates a deeper red, which I love. Didn’t dry my lips. I am very pleased with my purchase.

   I had a tube of this from a lemming rec (from Usenet alt.fashion newsgroup, which yes I am totally dating myself! But alt.fashion was sort of a kind of MUA site b4 MUA) & I cheerfully went out & bought this like a thousand other lemmings on the newsgroup & it was a bit heavy & dark, very vampy & goth, so I lost it & never replaced this. Irdk what I was thinking wearing it w platinum blonde hair & very pale skin (back then I had yet to discover bronzers!). It is very goth & only a select few can pull this 1 off successfully without looking like a clownish vampyra. I am since into nude lips & very pale pinks, which is about as polar from this color as you can get & find. It is almost a black wine color on me & I am wayyyyyy too fair to wear this one…Proceed w caution & exercise restraint unless you like a kind of goth or clubbing look…. Very dramatic! This is also high maintenance, the formula just isn’t long lasting & must be touched up constantly if you eat/drink or smoke. A lipliner is essential. I would give this a zero if I could & I really hate giving negative reviews!!

   Great lipstick! You can pat it on for a purply stain, or put it over a plum lipliner for a seriously ‘Lorde’ look. It doesn’t have the greatest staying power, but it works fairly well. I love the scent- sort of grape? Don’t recommend applying too heavily without a lipliner as it has a tendency to bleed.

   One of my favorite lip colors of all time. It’s very dark blood red with no purple undertones to it (I like purple but I’m not really a fan of purply berry shades on me) and I love how it looks on my pale skin. I wear this all the time no matter what season it is. I always wear a burgundy lipliner with it so it’ll last a little longer. One thing that kinda sucks is that it sometimes dries out my lips so I have to put lip balm on before Bordeaux, but I guess I should expect that from a lasting finish. It’s ok though I make it work. It obviously fades a little when I eat but it’s not a big deal. The price is reasonable and although the packaging isn’t the prettiest in my opinion it’s easily overlooked. I hope rimmel keeps the line for a long time because I plan on purchasing again once I use it up.

    My go-to fall/winter lipstick! The pigmentation is excellent and I managed to get a few tubes on sale for $3 each about 6 months back. They haven’t dried/cracked/decreased in quality whatsoever. My lips dry out easily, so I wear this straight in the fall, but dab it over lip balm in the winter and I find it actually stays on a little bit better with the lip balm base. I maybe touch it up twice in the day. It’s nice and creamy and I love the colour. I used to buy MAC Diva and the shade is almost exact, except Diva is matte. Overall a good lipstick, especially for the price. My only complaint is that I have had some issues with the cap somehow coming off in my purse, despite being snapped on and double-checked.
