I think Rimmel is one of the best drugstore brands for new launches, they always seem to get our little beauty obsessed hearts racing and counting down the days until launch day. This time it's with their new lip lacquers, Apocalips. The name is pretty epic, but I'm pleased to say that the product does live up to it.
The Apocalips are a happy medium between a long-wear lipstick and a high-shine lipgloss. They remind me of Stila's Liquid Lipstick as they apply a very thick, highly pigmented colour onto the lips like a lipstick, but the effect is a shiny, rich lipgloss look. I didn't find these to be sticky at all and despite the solid block of colour it gives, they're not at all heavy feeling on the lips. The packaging is clear, so the colour you see is actually the colour you get and I absolutely love the foam applicator with it's 'micro-resevoir'. It applies really smoothly and evenly, making precision around the lips easy. The way they feel so soft and light on the lips also reminds me of Collection's Cream Puff.
They come in 8 shades and out of the three I tried Celestial is my favourite, but I also have my eye on Big Bang which is a bright red. Oh and now you know why I don't wear nudes... I'm looking at you Nude Eclipse!!
They are extremely long lasting and stayed on whilst I filmed a whole video and ate some soup for lunch. You can see in the photo below what the swatches looked like after I scrubbed my arm with Bioderma.
These are out tomorrow so go and have a swatch to see if you like them. Be quick though, I have a feeling the first batch of these will sell out!
What do you think? Are these something you want to try?

They look fantastic on you !
ReplyDeleteAah, I love them all! I really want to try them. We don't have them in Belgium yet.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't wait til tomorrow - they've got them in my local Superdrug today!
ReplyDeleteI love the product, but I can't help but think they stole the name off Illamasqua's teal colour. :(
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting concept! Definitely going to try them out! Great post! Love Stellar on you! =D xo
ReplyDeleteThe nude eclipse might just be the colour I have been waiting for! I have been looking for a nude, every day colour for the last year or so and can't find one that suits my skin tone. But I can't wait to give this a go! :) x
ReplyDeleteI just recently got into testing out Rimmel London and love their lipsticks. I'm interested in getting Nude Eclipse. Does this have a taste or smell?

The nude shade does actually suit you Lily but I know what you mean - I feel a bit like a zombie if I wear a nude shade. These sound right up my street so I may be elbowing the crowds in Boots tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteStellar is definitely my favourite shade on you too!

These look awesome! And yes you are right, the brand never leaves us disappointed. I hope to get my hands on these soon, hope they are available in this part of the world too.x

These look great! I am not really a shiny lip kinda girl but I might have to give these a try. I like that the nude doesn't look too glossy or pink.

I know I should be looking at the new lipcolor, but to be honest, I can't get over how amazing your skin looks. So bright and beautiful. What are you wearing? Jealous!!

They certainly have some staying power. I'll be looking out for these
ReplyDeleteOh I so cannot do nudes either...though to be fair when I saw you wearing this nude I thought you looked good...but I totally get not being into them. Stellar on the other hand...I knew when I saw these posts going up that I had to have it...and sure enough--its mine. I do love Big Bang though...might need to give it a try!
