Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers - Celestial £5.99
A couple of months ago, Boots had there 3 for 2 offer (which lasted like a life time) and I heard a lot about the new Apocalips by Rimmel so I bit the bullet and bought one.
Now if you've read my previous posts, you know that I am not a lippy person so I was unsure on 1. wether to get one and 2. what colour to get. I liked the look of 'Big Bang' but I think reds done suit me so I picked a more neutral lip colour and went for Celestial even though I wish I had picked up Apocaliptic as its looks beautiful. I won't go into too much detail about what they are as everyone knows about them.
My first impressions of this was that I didn't like it. The first thing that put me off was the scent. I can't describe it, it just smells horrific and I'm the type of person that bases products on smells.
The second thing that put me off was the doe-foot applicator. It has a big dent like feature in the applicator so when I put the right amount on and give it a final go over, the product hidden in the dent goes on my lips and put too much product on them. I also do not like that it doesn't set so after a while I forget it doesn't set and I get it all over my face. Not a good look.
However, there are things I do like about it yay!
I love the packaging! I love the lid as well as the bottom of the packaging and the colour at the bottom of the packaging is true to colour unlike some lip products. I also like the colour of it. It is a very 'your lips but better' colour but I have a few lip products this colour so I wish I bought a bolder colour like apocaliptic. I also like that it is basically a liquid lipstick with the gloss that a lip gloss gives you.
Recently, I have dug it out a bit more to see if I've changed my mind about it and I'm liking it a bit more than what I did. I don't know why when all the things I like and don't like haven't changed.
Overall, from what they were hyped up to be, I am a little disappointed with the Apocalips but I'm determine to use is a little bit more and try to love it like others do.
Have you tried out the Rimmel Apocalip Lip Lacquers and what do you think of them?
