Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer

As i am soon to be going abroad on holiday, i thought it was best i ventured out into the world of lasting lipsticks. When i first wandered into my local branch of Boots, I wasn’t exactly sure on what i was looking for. After picking up my usual powder, I noticed the stand of a new product. I had seen the advert on TV, so i decided I’d take the plunge.

 

I chose the colour ‘Celestial’ as i don’t own many pink lip products and thought it didn’t seem too daring.

After first applying the product once i got home, i hated it. The texture, the look, the application. But after a few days i decided to try it again, this time with more precision and care. Yes, it still seemed gloopy and gunky on my lips, but perhaps that was because i’m not one to wear lip glosses and the overall texture of this product was much more gloss like than a lipstick (as i suppose it’s supposed to be).

Now, i really enjoy this product now that i understand fully how to use it; always blot after applying, never apply too much (as a little goes a long way!) and take time and care in applying it. The doe-foot applicator is also genius as i feel it is much easier to apply to product. I also happen to love the smell of this product. I would say it is almost like raspberries or another sweet berry. After trying this product out numerous times, i am actually going out to town on Friday to buy myself another one!
