It's the End of Colour as you know it! 

The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine. 

It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss... It's BIGGER than both! 

LONG LIVE THE COLOUR!

A bit so-so

Does what it says it does, but in all fairness it is Rimmel, it's compatible to the Too Faced liquid melted lipsticks. Stay on/ stains lips but downfall is that 1) it stinks 2) it flakes and 3) when you try to get it off you shouldn't be in public otherwise you'll make a mess and have a funny looking mouth.

Tips: Don't layer / touch it up more than twice, it'll start to flake off! Overall impressed with Rimmels strong game!

I like it, not love it

I have the colour Nude Eclipse (Nude shade) and Apocaliptic (Red shade) that I bought to see what all the fuss was about these lip hybrids. Its not a lipgloss and not a lipstick so I want to know what this crazy thing was.

Nude Eclipse is definitely my most worn shade just because nude are my cult favourites. I've worn Apocaliptic a few times and because its red I find it hard to just pick it up and wear it casually.

This lacquer is smooth, creamy, goes onto the lips wet and then dries into a semi matte which is perfect for me as I hate a matte anything. The drying time is a problem for me because it takes ages for it to stop being wet.

I dont find it be long lasting as I only get a couple of hours wear from Apocalips and then I have to re-apply. Also, the crazy shaped applicator? I'm not a fan to be honest. The Lacquer glides on smooth but getting it even on your lips is a little tricky with a hole in the applicator.

Overall, I think its great lip product and looks beautiful on the lips, but would I say its my absolute favourite lip product, sadly no! I dont think I will be repurchasing these Lacquers.

Lips love

Going by the lipstick I've tried, These lipsticks are really great! They are lovely and moisturising, glide on smoothly and don't feel sticky. They don't set dry like some other brands I've tried but they have a good colour pay off and they're staying power is reasonably good for a lipstick that feels so moisturising on my pout. It's a cross between a lipstick and a gloss. More glossy, I'd say though. I've got the shade Celestial and it's a perfect shade of pink for everyday wear. I like to wear it daily for a pop of colour. The applicator is easy to use and applies the product well. The packaging is pretty great. It has quite a decent amount of product inside of it and I like how half of it is see through so you can see the colour of the lipstick through the tube. I purchased Celestial for about $10 from Farmers in a sale they had going a wee while ago which I'll most likely be purchasing again. The range of shades available is great with pretty colours to choose from.

Tips: Just take care when applying as the applicator can get quite abit of product on the tip. :) A lip liner would make for a better finish.

Stunning colours

I absolutely love the colours of this range. They're very pigmented but unfortunately doesn't last really long. I find the colour bleeds a wee tony bit as well. Application is super easy and these glide on really well. You do get quite a bit of product for what you pay which is good and the packaging is quite cute. The only con in my opinion is the lack of staying power.

Apocalips

The great thing about this product is its range of shades and its smooth application. It moisturises your lips to leave a lovely slight glossy look, without being in-your-face. The only problem I have is that the lacquer is a little thin, meaning it might take a couple applications or another product to mix with for the lip lacquer to fully cover your lips.

Overhyped

Let's start off with the good things: It's very pigmented with a very vibrant colour; one easy swipe gives pretty much an opaque coverage (it's pretty creamy as well). It's not very sticky and not drying either. It's also has a very shiny finish.

The problem I have with it is the application: I find it very difficult to apply with the doe foot applicator it comes with. I feel like I'm putting on a lot of product in one go, and I often end up with product outside of my lip line.

I also find that it doesn't stay on very long, nor does it stay in the same place for very long-it's slippery. There's a lot of transfer, and paired with a vibrant, opaque colour makes it a bit of a mess especially when you're trying to put it on, when you're drinking etc.

Tips: I find it better if i just dab a blob of it in the centre of my lips and use my fingers to apply it to the rest of it. For me, this gives exactly the right amount of product.

Not my Favourite

I heard a lot about these lacquers, so had to go out and pick some up. I like the opacity of the lacquers, but i am not a huge fan of how sticky they are on the lips. They also rub off easily, so you have to reapply often. I like the lacquers, but the constant reapplying puts me off using them often.

Not As Bad As I Thought

I purchased 2 of these lacquers from Kmart because they had them on clearance for $5 so I thought I would try it because I've heard some good and bad things about it.

I bought Celestial which is a pretty every day pink and Phenomenon which is a light nude. The first thing I noticed was how bad it smelt but the smell goes away once you've applied it to your lips. I found the application of it fairly easy and it was super pigmented so I only needed one coat of it. Once it was on my lips I didn't find super sticky, it was more of a very slight tacky feeling but it was more on the creamy side so I didn't mind much.

It did not last a very long time on my lips because it was quite glossy but I wasn't expecting it to last very long anyway. As for the colours, I definitely like Celestial more because its an every day colour for me and it suits my skin tone. I think Phenomenon is more for people with lighter skin because it is very nude, I definitely look like I have concealer lips on when I use it by itself so I have to wear a darker nude lipstick underneath and then put a very light coat of the lacquer on top.

Overall this is a decent product and I probably will continue to buy it.

Tips: Using a lip liner will make the application of it easier and it will look neater.

Rimmel Apocalips

I have seen numerous posts of Rimmel on social media mainly instagram. I had to give these a try . On two seperate occasions I went to purchase these two liquid lip sticks. My first buy was from Kmart it was on special for $9. The other Matte lipstick from farmers for $10. With all the pictures and selfies I had seen wearing this I knew I had to try these.

These liquid lipsticks come in these tubes. I really like this jewelled designed lid. The lip applicator is slanted on both the matte and origional. The colours I got was Atomic Rose Matte (Peachy Colour) and Stella (berry pink) Origional. Atomic rose has a chemical smell and Stella has a slightly sweet scent.

When I apply these both of them have very different textures. The Atomic Rose Matte dries but still has some liquid remaining. Stella origional is like a gloss. It holds its liquid look. They do come off with eating and drinking. I was happy with how they look. But , I don't think the Matte lip one is matte enough. Overall they do a good job of colouring lips. Very fortunate to get a bargain at the time.

The colour is great but...

I don't know if they've always been like this but I can't give this a good review at all. I managed to wear one for half an hour but couldn't bear to keep it on longer because of the scent. It's so synthetic I can't stomach it. I don't include all synthetic compounds here of course, since if it smelt like ambroxan I'd just go and buy the entire range. It might just be my nose but it smells like melted and partially burned plastic that makes me queasy.

For the sake of a review I tried it on while chewing gum which managed to stave off the smell and the colour was absolutely lovely! Very vibrant and very creamy. I'm not sure about staying power since I wasn't able to wear it for very long. Would not buy again.

Tips: Smell it before you buy it. My nose can't tolerate this stuff at all!
