I have lots of lippies and glosses scattered everywhere, my bathroom, lounge, bedroom, handbag, and my drawer at work - I wear a red lip so it needs to be maintained! This Lip Lacquer has a lot more staying power than a gloss, and a great deep colour, but after a few hours the gloss wears off leaving a matt stain which can feel a bit drying Does what it says and keeps the colour, I'll keep this one in my rotation!

Tips: use a lip liner, and if you prefer a slick feel might need to top up with a gloss after a few hours
This lip glass/stick comes in different shape compared to other ones. The wand inside is also abit different, i think they couldve improved it. It makes the application abit harder because i feel that i can't put this with the applicator without looking in the mirror or i have to use my fingers if i need to use it somewhere without a mirror.
The price is quite reasonable, it gives a matte look but it doesnt dry your lips, still keeps it reasonably moisturised. Although it doesnt last very look. Sometimes i put two coats just to be safe. But hey most dont last long because we are always eating or drinking. It does the job :)
I also feel like with this one its better to use a lip liner so it gives the lips abit more effect and gives it a better shape otherwise looks slightly incomplete i guess.
I would recommend this to people to try, they come in really nice pigmented colours !
The colour in these is awesome! I did find that (as per usual for a gloss type thing) that the colour was a lot less vibrant than in the tube, however when applied it kept its shine! Which I feel made it even better because I'm usually leaning towards the more natural look, so a pink tint was great for me. Also, no extra dry lips because of it! Always a plus.
There are many shades and the smell is quite pleasant. I love that there are so many varieties and it leaves such a highly pigmented glossy shine! It stays put for quite a while but when the gloss dries, it can leave the lips feeling a bit dry. I would recommend using a lip balm underneath. Overall though, it gives such a beautiful effect that I would repurchase!
I have this lipgloss in the colour Nude Eclipse. Absolutley perfect nude colour that I was after, with a beautiful shine. Easy to apply and great to wear over a nude lippy or by itself. Not too sticky so that was a plus, but the taste wasnt too flash. However I can tolerate that. The only bad thing about this gloss is that it doesnt last. It lasted about 1 hour (or just over) which is a shame. I have to say the colour won it over for me and after I purchased the first tube, I went back and bought 2 more! Cant complain about the price either!!
I bought this for a holiday - as a stay at home mum I don't often wear lip gloss and this was a very vibrant bright colour! The colour stays on well and stays bright for quite some time!! I felt a little self conscious as it was so bright and as I said I am not used to wearing any colour on my lips - but I have worn it a couple of times since when I have had the opportunity to go out - definitely not a daytime colour for me but for a night out - yes!!
Tips: Blotting the colour and adding a little bit of a lighter lipgloss gave a less intense colour
The colour pay off on these are great. And they are long lasting (stain my lips so it lasts ALL day) However were a bit glossy for my taste and I have a tendancy to smear lippy over my face when it isn't matte and un-budgable.
The tube is gorgeous to look at, and has a nice easy to use applicator, and the tight tube also helps prevent getting too much on the applicator at once otherwise i'd prob have had a big mess...
Overall I did like them and would purchase again, because the colour selection is really nice and i didn't think it was all that pricey either.
I was lucky to win this as part of a prize on facebook. I hadn't tried many Rimmel products before so was excited, the prize arrived the day after bubs was born too so that was lovely :) The shade I received is 100 Phenomenon.
I think the packaging on this lacquer is gorgeous!!! The top of the lid is like a diamond shape, it's black and the bottom is the shade of the lacquer. It has a doe foot applicator and the lid clips closed tightly which is great.
It is easy to apply and to build up. The shade I have is a beautiful nude. It's like a gloss but also like a lipstick. It's not sticky at all and the consistency is semi thin. The scent is strange but for me I don't mind it, I don't find it yuck.
My only downer is that I find the lasting power to be very low sadly. For me it only lasts around one hour which is frustrating and is the only thing putting me off trying more shades (even though I really want too!)
Would I recommend these lacquers??? Yes and no, if you don't mind reapplying it neumerous times throughout the day then yes as it has a smooth formula, applies evenly, the shades are beautiful and they are a good price.
I have this in the shade Nova, a pink that's bright and dark at the same time? It's like a dark pink that still really stands out. I love the texture and how smooth it applies, feeling like a liquid lipstick rather than a gloss. The color payoff is amazing and looks so smooth and bold, and I only need a thin layer for it to look very even. The applicator has a little well inside which is perfect for holding a reservoir of lipgloss. The lasting power is alright as long as I don't eat or drink, because this does tend to transfer. I prefer scented glosses so I don't really like the smell of this. The tube is also really cute with a little faceted top and the color of the gloss showing on the bottom third of the tube. Overall a really nice liquid lipstick/gloss hybrid and I highly recommend it!
Love the bottle, love the shades, love the finish, theres not much else to say :) Goes on easy, the wand is amazing and large. The product is pigmented perfectly and is like a cross between lippy and gloss! so perfect for those gurls like me that HATE sticky items. I have a nice nude shade and it just needs a blend with my finger as it migrates to the outsides of my lip lip a bit but most do. Love
