Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer - Review

Yes these have been reviewed over and over again but I still like to throw in my opinion as well, so here we go: Rimmel Apocalips Review. 

I discovered the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers when I was searching for reviews of the Rimmel Kate lipsticks and they immediately caught my eye since I didn't yet have anything like them in my lip product collection. 

A lip lacquer is basically a crossover between gloss and lipstick. They usually have the texture and shine of a gloss but the duration and pigmentation of a lipstick.

So do the Rimmel Apocalips lacquers. Their pigmentation is amazing! Even with very little of the product you get an amazing color payoff! The duration impressed me as well.  It needs little touch-ups here and there throughout the day or after having food but else it lasts very well. The shine fades a bit depending on how much product you’re putting on your lips and for how long you've been wearing it but personally that doesn't bother me. 

You can see how it starts to bleed out

The product glides on nicely but you definitely need a mirror to put it on. Just like it is with lipstick, the high pigmentation stains very easily and mistakes while applying happen faster and can't be removed as easy. 

The doe foot applicator is manageable and helps to fill in the lips properly. I'm not massively impressed though by the hole at the back which is supposed to supply you with more product without going back into the tube. It does give you more product but to me that is too much because the more product you have on your lips the nastier it will bleed out. Also if you moisturize your lips before applying one of these, be careful to let that product sink in well before going over it with an Apocalips lacquer otherwise this will increase the bleeding out.

I own the shades Big Bang and Apocaliptic. Big Bang is a beautiful bright red, while Apocaliptic is a bright pink shade. Both are very pigmented as promised. Personally I like the red one better because it is more wearable. Even though I wear pink lipstick and am not afraid to show off bright colors the Apocaliptic can be a bit too much because it is a very "in your face" color.

Apocaliptic - I couldn't get the color right on this one :/ It is a bit darker than it looks like here
