Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lip Tint in ‘Timeless Tango’ – A Review
Having heard plenty about the Rimmel 1000 Kisses lip tints all over the blogosphere, I thought I’d see what the deal was. I had quite a few Advantage Card points on my card so I thought I’d treat myself to one of the range to see for myself, just what people were talking about.
I chose the shade ‘Timeless Tango’ after swatching each one in the shop a couple of times each. I even got my boyfriend to choose his favourite shade, as I could not pick!
The lip tints are designed to give you a ‘royal flush of intense, vibrant colour that stays on duty and ready for action for hours – leaving no trace, so your kisses never tell’. This intrigued me as nothing irks me more than a lip colour that fades within minutes. I even purchased some Lipcote to deal with such problems but some products I’ve bought just don’t want to stay. I was interested to see if the product lived up to the claims.
The packaging is simple, a double-ended applicator product not dissimilar in appearance to a Sharpie pen. The colour of the pen is reminiscent of the shade of the lip tint and the plain black writing is just that, informative but unoffensive.
When swatched, the colour is very intense and almost glittery in appearance. How would it cope when on the lips?
As you can see, the colour is definitely less intense when applied to the lips – and this was after building it up for a couple of minutes. I think that these tints are perhaps best to provide just a light colour to the lips rather than what is advertised with Georgia May Jagger – the tints are made to look a lot more intense on the lip than they have found them to be.However, although the colour is not as intense as I would like it to be, I cannot fault the staying power.
Really should have taken a picture of the lip balm before using – oops!
I applied the lip balm over the top of the tint and I have to admit, although not totally convinced by the intensity of the product, I am definitely impressed by the staying power and the feeling it leaves on your lips. The tint stayed on my lips for a good 6-8 hours (and this was whilst eating and drinking) and the lip balm left my lips feeling smooth and moisturised.
Would I repurchase? I’m on the fence with this one. The intensity of the tint once on the lips leaves a lot to be desired, but I would be willing to try out other shades in the range to see if my opinion can be swayed.
You can buy these from any good Boots for the price of £6.99 or for an even better price of £5.99 at Feel Unique.
Have you tried these? What did you think of them?
If you haven’t tried these, would you consider purchasing them?

Ooh, I might try this as I'm not much of a lipstick/gloss etc wearer so for me, not having much intensity is a good thing. Especially as it lasts! Really good review 🙂 x
Looks great!! 😀 I love how it takes on a softer less intense look when actually on the lips (: not to say i dont love bold colors, which I do, but lighter shades for the everyday look is what I usually settle for! Great Review! (:
Ah, thats whats great about products – some people love them , some people like them and some people dislike them 🙂 I guess it's all just a matter of the product and the person, I suppose – could be a faulty product, or I could have had a lucky one xo
