Rimmel Lipstick in Airy Fairy




A little while back, I went a little mad on eBay and bought quite a few lipsticks. Some from the US and some which have been discontinued that I've had my eye on. One of those many lipsticks I bought is the Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Airy Fairy which sadly will never be released over here in the UK as it was only released over in the US.

Airy Fairy is described as being a cool toned pink with gold shimmer running throughout which is a rather universal shade as it will suit many skin tones. On the lips it can translate as being either a my lips but better shade or a slightly pink mauve-y shade. I find that Airy Fairy can be a little drying on the lips so it's best to put some lip balm before applying this. Despite it being a little drying, I find that it lasts for a few hours before it needs reapplying which is standard for most Rimmel lipsticks. One thing I've noticed about the Rimmel Lasting Finish range is the scent - it smells rather spicy like almost a sweet cinnamon scent which may be right up your street if you like your lipsticks to be scented.

If you live in the US, you can purchase Airy Fairy from Walmart or Ulta for under $6. However for my UK readers, your only option is eBay where prices vary from seller to seller. I personally used this seller and the item arrived within five days which is incredibly fast!

  1. Ooh pretty shade, I think I read somewhere once that this Rimmel shade was a dupe for a MAC shade. Can't remember which one though! I love Rimmel lipsticks :)

    1. I believe it's a dupe for MAC's High Tea if I'm not mistaken? xo
