I don’t believe in New Year resolutions because I can’t stick to them for too long. So I would say my new year 2014 new thought was to start trying new brands which I haven’t used yet. And so taking my current thought forward I did a tiny mini Rimmel haul to start a new adventure with this award winning brand, a brand of which bloggers rave about!

Rimmel London new stay matte foundation was a hit last year and a lot of people swear by its stay matte pressed face powder!

It’s the End of Color as you know it!
The intense rich color 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!

MY EXPERIENCE WITH RIMMEL APPOCALIPS LIP LACQUER 303 APOCALIPTIC

Packaging: The way it’s packed also impresses me. I love the shaded black-red plastic tube. The sponge applicator is gentle and spongy, and in just two dips I get the desired color on my lips. I think the applicator tip is shallow which picks up the product correctly and conveniently.

IMG_6878Shade: There are a nice variety of shades in this range from bright to nude color I wish to try them all. A number of shades are available in the market; however the store from where I bought stocked only six shades. As I was looking for a neon shade this shade 303 Apocaliptis looked perfect and caught my fancy. It’s a purple-red (majenta), pinkinsh neon shade.

IMG_6882Pigmentation & Staying power: It’s creamy and highly pigmented, very opaque, as you can also see in the pics below. It has amazing staying power. It stayed on my lips for straight 4-5 hours and faded slowly without losing much impact. It leaves a nice & a very prominent stain on the lip which I just adore.

Texture: Rimmel Appocalips lip lacquer is a satin finish lipstick-gloss. The gloss moisturizes the lips (at the time of application) and doesn’t feel dry on lips. It covers the lips without tugging it and any hassle.

TURN OFF: Rimmel Appocalips Lip Lacquer 303 Apocaliptic

1)   Availability is an only issue I can think of with these. I have seen a lot of bloggers rave about various light shades as well but it’s not easily available! L

2)   Transfers a bit but then which lipstick doesn’t!

3)   I was expecting it to be even more moisturizing. ( not that they are dry, but just felt that ways)

COSMOCHICS RATING: 4.8/5
