Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been posting much, I have been really busy and when I have free time I am just too tired. I am determined to get my next few blog posts written up over the weekend, so look forward to them.
Some of you may have seen my haul post from the other week, where I bought the Rimmel Apocalips in the shade Celestial. This has got to be one of the most talked about lip product in the bloggersphere, which means that there is a lot of diversity as to whether it is really any good, or if it's just another hyped up piece of rubbish. I put off buying it for quite a while, as when I swatched it in Superdrug it seemed quite sticky, I eventually gave in after seeing so many reviews (good and bad) but I wasn't very convinced that I would like it.

The first thing you notice is that it smells slightly like Palma Violet sweets. This isn't the best scent, but it is bearable and you don't really notice it once you have worn it for a few minutes.
The shade Celestial is so pretty! It is a rosy pink colour which looks glossy when you first apply it, but dries to almost matte, a bit like a lip stain. There is no stickiness whatsoever, so in that respect it is a lot like a lipstick. It's light enough to wear in Spring/Summer but still looks great in Autumn/Winter, meaning that you can wear it all year round!
The pigment is ridiculously good, which means that it last very well! I had it on for about 4 hours, ate lunch, drank water and it only faded a bit. My only negative comment would have to be that, because of its pigment, it can be hard to correct any mistakes or smudges you might make, otherwise it leaves a light pink stain on your skin.
It isn't very drying on the lips, although if you have dry or flaky lips, I would suggest wearing a lip balm underneath or a lip gloss on top, if you are planning on wearing it for a long period of time.
Overall I really like Rimmel Apocalips, it is light and you barely realise that you are wearing it! I am definitely going to buy more shades in the future, possibly a lighter shade this time.
Have you tried Rimmel Apocalips and what did you think of them? Do you think they were worth the hype?
I have this colour and i absolutely love it!

ReplyDeleteThe scent is pretty strange, I'm not sure what makes it smell like that :S
