The Rimmel Lasting Finish lipstick has been around for quite sometime, being reasonably affordable (at 5 dollars, just a notch up from Wet n Wild and NYC) and well-received, I never found a shade that was interesting enough to try... That's until they release a Kate Moss collection, including an orange red. First off, I really like the construction: The tube is sleek, simple, scratch-proof, light-weight yet doesn't feel flimsy. The lipstick is solid enough that it doesn't melt, wobble or smear around the edge.
Unlike other truer red-oranges I have tried, Kate no.12 has a bit of tonal creaminess, which makes it little more coral and less neon-bright. If you are afraid of wearing the standard yellow-based orange, this might worth a try. The artificial cherry-scented lipstick leaves a semi-matte finish with a sheen, not my favorite for this kind of color but whatever...
A thin layer of Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate in 12 on the lips - The lipstick is so bold, pigmented and slippery that applying it the normal way just gives me a squishy mess of Uncle McDonald pout. I am not sure why but this particular shade seems to make my skin a little ashy (but it looks alright under yellow lighting though).
Overall: Even though I don't think the formula is particularly outstanding this is still a great lipstick in its price range (actually, this is the only lipstick in its 5-dollar price range). I might get another one if there is a good enough sale going on (Rimmel lip products went on a 50% off sale in Walgreens once this year), just because it makes a nice toy.

These are all lovely colors.
