   I’ve stopped purchasing and wearing drugstore makeup for several years now but I couldn’t resist when I found this lipstick in the clearance bin. I was looking for an every day budget replacement/dupe for a Marc Jacob’s lipstick and this one looked like it could be it.

   The purple packaging with a silver colored base is cute, and looks a bit more high end than the other drugstore lipstick brands. The lipstick itself has a perfumey smell almost like vanilla? that I’m still on the fence on.

   The color in the tube is very lovely but with it on, it doesn’t complement my NC-30-35 skin tone nor am I liking the texture and the feeling it has. The lipstick is way too creamy and translucent for my personal liking. I prefer matte and opaque lipsticks as I thought this one might have been.

   Apply a coat and the color is not as strong; apply an extra coat and it starts looking too overdone, almost like an oil slick on your lips. For me, this is the type of lipstick I’d fear will get on my teeth after application because it slides around. Due to that, it doesn’t have a strong staying power and wears off immediately during and after eating.
   This is one that I won’t be repurchasing even on clearance.

   This is a really great lipstick for fair skin tones. The color is a medium pinkish brown with a little bit of shimmer. Formula is really good (shimmer cream) and lasts about 4 hours. It’s a great shade for work.

   It is so nice when a lipstick actually looks like it’s ‘name’. Dusty rose is a perfect description for this. Goes on smoothly. For me Rimmel lipsticks a lot of times seem to turn garish colors, even shortly after applied, but this does not. And while the shade is ‘dusty rose,’ I think this is pretty neutral and can be worn with many shades of clothing. To me it truly looks like a more expensive lipstick. I am sure there are a few high end shades that I would even pit this against, color-wise and formula-wise. Wear time for me with this is decent, I get 4 to 6 hours depending on how much talking I do or if I eat or drink anything. Does have the slight “Rimmel lipstick scent” as I call it. Not an obnoxious or overpowering scent, but I do get a whiff or two when first applied. I think someone referred to Rimmel lipsticks smelling like playdough meets slight vanilla with the playdough scent winning, and that is how I would describe the scent. But again, it is not a strong nor overpowering scent. What I like best about this is that it does not settle at all in my lip lines. I truly appreciate that. Applies smoothly and easily. Truly if I did not know any better I might think this is a high end lipstick. Also does not feel dry nor dry out my lips, which I appreciate, also!! For a while I kind of ‘banned’ Rimmel lipsticks because of poor perfromance for me, but either they have changed or improved their formula, or maybe some shades vary in formula, but I am very pleased with this. Flattering natural shade. Would recommend and would repurchase!!

   Love this Dusty Rose Rimmel! Don’t remember where I bought it but I actually bought it for the scent! LOVE it- not sure why it’s offensive to some. I normally wear MAC or Chantecaille and have DRAWERS FULL of them in many colors and textures, but this is the ONLY lipstick that I’ve actually finished! I always keep one tube in the car so if i’m going to walk on the beach or stop at the store I put it on and it looks amazing. I know beach life in SoCal is super laid back so perhaps it works better for those of us more ‘natural’ girls. I was so bummed they discontinued the color but I found 2 tubes on ebay. I LOVE the scent- guess that says something about me?

   This lipstick is such a surprise. The color is lovely – It is a soft rose brown with a slight sheen. The scent and ‘taste’ is pleasant too. It feels so good on and presents your lips in a very attractive – natural but better way. I love it. A pretty little purple package and at a good price. I need to find more Rimmel colors I like.

   This is a satin finish lipstick, brown with slight pink and a light frost. It gives your lips a moisturized mlbb look. I wear it on those days when my lips look dehydrated and could do with some color. I absolutely love it.

   Wow. I am shocked that there are not more reviews on this lipstick. I know it is a new item to the US market. I beleive it came out in the spring of 2010. I loved it instantly. It is the perfect neutral shimmery lipstick that I have searched and searched for. I have quite a few back ups of this for fear it will disappear from the shelves. EmilyNoel83 also loves this color. I think I gave it a try based on one of her videos. So glad I did.

   Dusty Rose is the perfect shade of pinky brown that works well for both daytime and evening looks. I have many other lipsticks and glosses, but I find myself reaching for this shade more frequently than others. I have had no issues with the cap coming off of it in my makeup bag, and I really enjoy that the formula of this lipstick is very moisturizing.

   I have yet to find a lipstick that I REALLY LOVE on me, and yet I keep trying. This one is decent though! I don’t HATE it. It’s kind of a deep brownish rose. It is indeed very moisturizing, which is a good thing, I think most would like it. I kind of wish it was more matte, but that’s a personal preference. Good product, cheap, I’m rating the packaging highly b/c it is purple and purple is awesome. I might even repurchase this.
