Sorry I've been silent on the blogging front for the past few weeks guys, I've had a lovely relaxing Christmas break and I hope you all have too!
I've had these lipglosses for quite a few weeks now, but I wanted to make sure I gave them a thorough road test before I reviewed them for you, as there have been a few mixed reviews in the blogosphere.
They are Rimmel's new Apocalips lip laquers. There are 8 colours in the range, from red to nude.
 |
| Left-Right: Apocaliptic, Big Bang, Nova, Stellar, Galaxy, Celestial, Luna, Nude Eclipse |
On first impression, I thought the colour range was slightly off, but after wearing each of the shades, I think their choice of colours is pretty great for a drugstore brand. There's a nice variety of brights and nudes, and not any neons or garish shades. (While the peachy pastel orange looks awful in the tube, it's actually quite pretty on the lips!)
The Red (Big Bang) is the star of the collection in my opinion, and although I'm not really in to my nude lipsticks at the moment, the nude is a very good one (let's face it, there are some awful nudes out there!)
The consistency of these products is what impressed me the most. They are really creamy and opaque. The aplicator has a little well in the centre that collects product so you can apply it with only one or two dips.
The product has a satiny finish that actually dries quite matte, so it can get a little dry after a few hours, but I find that a quick top up solves this perfectly, and they don't dry my lips out at all. The staying power is fantastic. The bright colours especially, stay on my lips for hours and hours, even after eating!

ReplyDelete-Elodie x
http://www.elle-yeah.com
Yes! They are somewhere in between these two - Not as glossy/sticky as the YSL, and not as matte as the lip puffs! They are really nice :)

i'm in love with Nova, it's absolutely gorgeous on your lips, can't wait to try them out myself!! :) how do you keep your lips so perfect? when i use many different products on them they go totally dry for a few days :( do you have any tips for me?
ReplyDeletexx
celestial is my fave shade, might have to go get it!

I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but did you (Fleur) paint your lips with all those lip glosses for the photos? In other words are those your lips?
ReplyDeleteSo excited to get my hands on these, can't decide which shade I want first. The nudes look really tempting and I rarely wear nudes.
ReplyDeletehttp://edmrobinsonphotography.blogspot.com
Some of those colours look really lovely! Definitely gonna give these a go :)

ReplyDeleteThose are such beautiful colors! I love how they have a sort of matte-looking finish with a touch of shine- my favorite kind of lip products. I hope these will be available in the USA.
ReplyDeletereally pretty shades considering its a drugstore brand and they seem pretty good on lips.
ReplyDeletethanks for lovely share.

It would mean a lot to me thank you! xx
I've heard they aren't bringing these to the US...according to their Twitter...I can't seem to buy them any where online or in stores :'( SO sad
ReplyDeleteWell, I have to say that it worries me that you don't mention that Luna's application turned out to be blotchy and uneven. Why don't you mention it although it's very obvious in the 2nd picture?
ReplyDeleteLoving 'Apocaliptic'!! so bright and girly <3
ReplyDeleteHey dear!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I hope you don't mind that I used one of your photos (I credited you for it) and I have mentioned you in my own review here: http://allthingslady.wordpress.com/2013/03/30/review-for-rimmel-apocalips/

I would love to know how you would compare these with the new L'oreal shine stains.

I'd recently bought Stellar rather tentatively simply to give it a test run and I have to say I'm seriously impressed with this line from Rimmel. Thank you for your swatches Fleur, they've helped me pick out a few more shades to try before I write my own review on it!
ReplyDeletewww.inkquisite.blogspot.com
This was sooo helpful! Helped me choose what colours to have :D Thanks!
ReplyDeletewww.beyoubeyou-tiful.blogspot.com
Wow I'm going to pick up 'Big Bang' today, the colour is incredible.
ReplyDeleteJust bought Big Bang today, holy smokes! I love it. The colour is deep and rich, and with a red Nyx lip liner no straying at all. So far Ive had a glass (ok two) of wine and the colour is still going strong -- although it has transferred to the glass so either need to learn to not care about that or find a way to stop it. Definitely would buy again!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Thanks for sharing.Clipping Path Service Provider
