Road Test: Rimmel The Only 1 Lipstick

Rimmel The Only 1 lipstick is widely available for around £6.99 and comes in 20 different shades ranging from nudes and pinks to reds and dark purples. According to Rimmel's website, these lipsticks offer "the perfect balance of high impact colour, moisture, all day comfort and staying power." I have the shade 700 Naughty Nude to test out today.
First Impressions: The packaging is an unusual shape, with Rimmel's name embossed on the lid and a plastic band showing the colour. I like to store my lipsticks upside down so that I can see the shade or name printed on the base, but the angled style of this tube makes that difficult. The lipstick itself is strongly scented with a sweet, fruity fragrance.
I like the slanted shape of the product, similar to the Revlon Ultra HD lipsticks, which I think makes for fool-proof, smooth application. The lipstick goes on easily with just one swipe giving opaque colour, and this shade is very pretty.
Cup of Tea Test: There was transfer onto my cup (hot chocolate today!), but the lipstick still looked flawless on the lips after drinking.
After drinking

After Eating: Again, I was impressed with how well this lipstick stayed in place. Because it is such a smooth, moisturising product, I did not expect it to last so well.
After eating

Overall: I like this shade and the hydrating formula of this lipstick. It lasts impressively without feeling drying, so would be a great option to wear without worrying about re-applying during a work day. The application is smooth and easy but the scent might be overpowering if you are sensitive to fragrance. The packaging is not my favourite from the drugstore, although I do appreciate the shape of the actual bullet. Overall, a very wearable, comfortable, everyday option, especially in this beautiful shade.

Have you tried this range? What are your thoughts?

    I love these lipsticks. I've been using them daily all winter. I have the Matte ones too but they are drying on the lips this time of year. X x

    I agree, the tube is a little odd, but the color looks great on you! :)

    This is such a beautiful shade! It really suits you. I'm so glad the wear time was a pleasant surprise. Rimmel are one of my favourite brands in terms of drugstore lipsticks, but I haven't tried anything from their The Only 1 range. I think I need to after reading your review! Xx
