The Review Crew® Report: Rimmel London The Only 1

What our reviewers had to say about the lipstick range

Beauty Crew Beauty Editor / May 25 2017

The Review Crew® panel

Beauty Crew sent Rimmel London The Only 1, a nourishing and pigmented lipstick that comes in fifteen shades ranging from nudes and neutrals to vibrant and bright shades, to women aged 18-35.

What they loved

How creamy the formula was: The testers loved how rich and nourishing the formula felt on once applied, and how it didn’t dry out their lips.

How pigmented the lipsticks were: Many reviewers loved how bright the red shade they tested (One Of A Kind) was, with most saying that it also suited different skin tones. A few others also stated how the nude shade (Naughty Nude) suited warm or cool skin tones.

The finish of the lipsticks: The Review Crew® loved the finish of the lipsticks, as they weren’t matte or shiny, but dried to a satin finish.

This may not be for you if…

You’re looking for a long-wearing formula: While reviewers liked how pigmented the lipsticks were, some found the strong colour didn’t last the entire day, and mentioned they would have preferred a bit more longevity in the finish. A few testers did not mind the need to reply after eating or drinking.

The verdict:

The biggest surprise I found was how long-lasting it was. It applies on perfectly smooth and that's it. No marks on my teeth and it lasts all night, no reapplication needed.

The lipstick is creamy and the colour pay-off is excellent. Doesn't last all day, but does last longer than a lot of other ‘affordable’ lip products.

It's not easy to find good moisturising lipsticks that are also long-wearing, but this line definitely stands out and can compete with more expensive brands.
