Hi there! If you’ve read yesterday’s post, you know that there are quite a few beauty products that I have several back-ups of. So I thought it would be very fitting to make today’s post about one of these products. 😀 Now meet Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liner 038 Allure.
Allure is one of my favourite lipliners. It’s a true full-colour lipliner that doubles up as a (matte) nude lipstick. This lipliner is on the softer side, so it’s quick and easy to apply. However, lipliners can be drying, so I always use a bit of lip balm (for a demi-matte look) or lip gloss (for a slightly glossy look – like in the picture above) before I apply any lipliner.
Whilst the lip balm (or gloss) underneath the lipliner will lose its sheen within a few hours, the colour (= the actual lipliner) will stay put all day. Sure, if I eat fatty and greasy foods for lunch, the lipliner will suffer. However, when I’m at work I don’t eat junk food for lunch, so I’m pretty safe! 🙂
What I actually wanted to say is… I think this lipliner is great. Rimmel Exaggerate Full Colour Lip Liners are available in several colours. This shade, 038 Allure, seems to have been discontinued. However, I just had a look at Rimmel’s web site, and it appears they’re still doing two brownish nude shades.
What do you think of using lipliners instead of lipsticks? Feel free to let me know. And thanks for reading! 🙂

Sometimes I’ll fill in my full lip area with a pencil then put a gloss over it. Allure looks nice. I have the Lasting Finish liner in Clover.

Lipliner + gloss always looks spectacular. I can’t pull it off, but I’m glad you can.

I rarely use lipliners but I know I should, especially when wearing a dark colour. Are these self-sharpening? Looks like a great neutral shade that would go with anything!

Yes, Rimmel’s Exaggerate lipliners have a twist-up mechanism. 🙂

I use lip liners if i know i’m going to be out for a long time, but most of the time i just skip them.. The color of this one is great though!

I’ve been on a lip liner + lip balm kick lately. I’ve got so many MLBB type of lip liners, it’s ridiculous. My current go to is a Mary Kay one called Neutral – very creamy and the colour goes with everything.
So how many of these Rimmel liners do you have in your stash?

Lipliner + lip balm = gorgeousness! ♥
I have 10 of these Rimmel lipliners, I think. I think I might keep a few and put the others in the charity box (by the way, as of today I’ve filled 4 boxes!).

This colour is so pretty! It’s a pity it’s been discontinued. I think lipliners are a great lipstick alternative. It works especially well with slightly creamy lipliners. 🙂
