Happy Valentines Day ladies! I hope that you are having a fab day with your loved one, with friends or having some you time :) So today I thought it would be the perfect time to share my thoughts on the infamous Rimmel Apocalips.
At £5.99 these are quite the bargain, especially as they are on 3 for 2 in Boots at the moment. So now is the time to try them! They are classed as a 'lip lacquer' not a lipstick but not a gloss, somewhere in between. Formula wise I really like it, they are easy to apply and you get a great colour pay off. I decided to get two of the colours I had my eye on ~ Celestial and Big Bang.
Celestial is a blue toned rose pink and I can see why this is one of the most popular colours. It is perfect for everyday and stays put for such a long time. The glossiness does wear off but it leaves behind a lovely matte stain which I love. I can see myself getting a lot of wear out of this colour and will look great in the summer too.
Big Bang is a bit of an 'out there' colour for me as a girl who is scared of bright lipsticks! I don't know if it washes me out slightly? However I love the colour, it is a super bright red and perfect for a classic red lip. It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe and 60s pin-up girls ~ love it! I can't wait to wear this colour on a night out. I am off to London at the end of the month for a friends 30th birthday so I will be sure to wear this then!
Overall I really like these. They are long lasting and non-sticky with a great colour pay off for one swipe of the applicator. The only thing I don't like is the smell, I don't know what it is about it but I find it little off putting. I have no idea why! Has anyone else noticed this? If you haven't given into the hype yet these are worth picking up while they are on 3 for 2 at Boots. Another winning product from Rimmel, they really seem to be on their game at the moment.
What are your thoughts on Rimmel Apocalips?
I have these two shades and love them both! I don't think Big Bang washes you out at all - it really suits you!! Xx.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kayleigh! I am glad as I love the colour, it is just so much brighter than I am used to x
Deletei agree with kayleigh, it doesn't wash you out... embrace the bold lip hehe! xx
ReplyDeleteI will!
DeleteI love the smell. They transfer so badly though especially the bright shades! I have stellar and ends up everywhere!! Big bang looks lovely on you.

Thank you! I found that if I blot them with a tissue they don't transfer as much & it gives them more of a matte look x
DeleteI love the big bang on you!It doesn't wash you out at all! x
ReplyDeleteI have these two and Apocolypse! I think big bang looks amazing on you but I think the exact same when I wear it! haha xxx
ReplyDeleteThanks! I know it is so bright! I do love it though :)
DeleteI love them both on you chick! I think Im the only blogger that hasnt got any yet! xoxox
ReplyDeleteoooh you must try them! Give in to the hype! x
DeleteHave heard so many people talking about these! I do tend to go for Rimmel when I'm buying lipstick...might have to give one of these a go! :)
ReplyDeleteXxx
I haven't actually bought a Rimmel lipstick yet but people do say how great they are x
DeleteThey look great on you - I find they dont last too long on my lips. Might be because I have a really bad habit of biting my lip. I love the colours & have Celestial, Galaxy and Luna. Galaxy has to be my fave its such a rich colour.

Oh I do that as well! I have to work hard with myself not to lick or bite my lips x
DeleteI like them both Jayne but I love Big Bang - it really suits you! Must try one of these out once the spend ban is over! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny! x
DeleteI want to be brave with red lipstick too! I have my eye on Galaxy and Celestial xx
ReplyDeleteThis one is a good place to start if you want to try a red lip! Doesn't cost too much if you don't like it x
