You may have seen that I have recently posted a video of a first impression review on the Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint, and noticed that I had 3 different colours and promised to do swatches. So here they are!
You may have seen that these lip tints have been out for sometime, and I've always wanted to try a lip tint. Especially when it states that it's long lasting and transfer proof! There are 6 colours in the collection - I'm not sure if they keep changing colours and replacing them with new ones, but every website I've looked on, seems to have different colours! They Retail for £5.99 and they offer 2 steps on how to apply this.
Step 1 - Apply the colour onto lips and wait to dry.
Step 2 - Once colour has dried, apply the balm for all over moisture.
The colours which I have, are Faithful Rose, Stay Very Berry & Carry On Cherry. I have also included some swatches on my arm underneath.

Review
You will see from the packaging that it is quite true to colour, other than Carry On Cherry. This seems to come out slightly more brown on the swatch, compared to the packaging. Also, when I tried to apply the colour on the Carry On Cherry, the tip of the felt tip was incredibly dry, so had to use the side of the pen to line my lips, which is pretty tricky.
The balm was quite solid when I first used it, so was quite hard to put on the balm. But after a few strokes, the balm warmed up, and went on like any normal lip balm. A great thing with the balm, was that it definitely moisturised my lips and made them feel smooth. Even just using the lip balm on its own would be a great idea!
I noticed that when applying the lip tint to my lips, it didn't flow as well as I would have hoped. There were many gaps in the colour, and didn't look all that great. It seemed to look a lot better once the balm was on, but still looked very gappy. Once the colour is applied, it is very bright and looks very well done from far away, and on camera!
I like the way that both lids have to make a 'click' sound to know when they are on properly and securely. This is great for you to pop in your bag, because you know that the colour and the balm won't go everywhere and make a mess. I also think that having a double ended pen is great, as this way you have 2 products in 1, and it saves room in your makeup bag.
