Rita Ora for Rimmel London

2 min read

Gorgeous Rita Ora – young, vibrant, tough and talented – what London’s all about, so say Rimmel, so she’s their perfect partner, no? The lovely Rita, girlfriend of Scots star Calvin Harris, has a collection for Rimmel landing on counters on March 19th, and I’ve had a wee preview of it, and a bit of fun with the fab nail polishes.

The Rimmel Rita Ora Colour Rush Lip & Nail Collection is bold and bright, like Rita, and represents her perfectly. There are 12 shades of the fab Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish, divided into six hot and six cool shades to wear depending on your mood! I’ve tried all 12 of them out – what do you think?

I love the pastels – on trend this season, but they definitely needed two coats and even then the pink coverage isn’t brilliant. The bright colours are fantastic – the red is an excellent red. Rita created them, and named them too! They are Lose Your Lingerie (ice pink), Midnight Rendevous (purple), Breakfast in Bed (ice green), Don’t Be Shy (fuchsia), Pillow Talk (ice blue), White Hot Love (white), Let’s Get Nude (nude), Blindfold Me Blue (blue), Raw As Night (red), Oragasm (orange), Rita Rouge (deep red/burgundy), Do Not Disturb (teal).

White Hot Love is Rita’s very own hero shade. Each bottle has a Pop Art picture of Rita and her signature on a British stamp design.

Also in the collection are five new shades of Rimmel’s lip crayon, Lasting Finish Colour Rush BalmI Want Candy (gorgeous candy pink), Make Me Blush (natural pink), Boom Chic A Boom (shocking pink), All You Need is Pink (red pink) and Viva Violet (berry). The pigment in these is great, and they really moisturise as well as add a fab pop of colour.

Also new(ish) from Rimmel, and a fabulous product is the ScandalEyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara, with what Rimmel call the ‘broken-heart brush’. It is really fantastic and easy to apply with this shape brush, and the mascara gives great coverage and curl. And it’s just £6.99.
