Rimmel London Colour Show Off Lipstick - Shocking Pink: Review

Hello all beautiful girls! :) So, here I am back with another review of my Rimmel London Color show off lipstick, which I bought from Germany. I particularly chose to buy this typical bright shocking pink shade, coz I had all nude shades till then and I wanted to experiment with bright shades! Also, the bright color made me feel good while shopping in gloomy, cold and rainy weather of Germany. It was priced around 6 - 7 Euros at Muller.

What the company says about the product: 

"100% pure color intensity. Velvety-soft finish. Long-lasting."

Here is the swatch

(Sorry for the blurred image - lack of light, but the color is exactly the same on one normal stroke! :( )

Below is my verdict on the lipstick:

Pros:

• I was particularly attracted by its casing. The lipstick has this wonderfully designed, appealing and typically feminine packaging. 
• The texture is extremely smooth and glides like butter on your lips. 
• Surprisingly for me, the shade worked quite well with me. I may give a try to other shades like Be bold, and Kiss me too.
• I can easily build the texture using this lipstick. I can use it lightly to get a regular day wear look, and build the color depending on the occasion and need. So, it basically solves all purposes! :P
• Stays for quite long. I have experienced it staying for almost 3-4 hours.
• Gives a balanced matte effect. The lipstick doesn't have shimmers. The matte is also not absolute matte. It is just in perfect balance.
• Doesn't dry out my lips. In fact the lipstick is really light on my lips and moisturizes it as well.. :-*

Cons:

• I need to find some stores in India, where I can try other colors of this brand as well.
• The casing though quite beautiful and attractive, looks a bit fragile to me. I haven't dropped the lipstick till now, but it looks like, one single drop can break the case./:)
• None other than these.
• Below is a pic of how it looks with light stroke, which I usually wear in day time: 

And here is how it would look when you set yourself loose and use it to its max!! :D :D
