The Apocalips -

Hello lovelies!

Last year The blogging world was taken by storm by the new range of lip lacquers released from Rimmel. These were named Apocalips, a punny play on word that makes my mum laugh every time I mention it. Last month, The Apocalips lip laquers were on a 2 for £9 deal. Since they usually retail for £6.49, and I really wanted to try them to see what the fuss was about. I picked up two. Aurora and Celestial - Beautiful names for Beautiful shades.

Lets start with the packaging shall we? I love it! Extremely sleek looking, I particularly like the lid as it is shaped to look like a gem, giving a luxury feel. My only annoyance with the packaging is that Superdrug felt the need to put annoying, big stickers onto the product, difficult to remove and now i am left with sticky marks- Frustrating, but I'll live.

Can we talk about the wand? I LOVE IT no seriously, I do! The wand is a sponge, similar in shape to a doe foot, but is larger and more angular. But what makes this wand so special is the well in the centre. This is p e r f e c t, because it stores the product so that when you apply it, you don't have to keep dipping. You get a high saturated shine after one swipe!

Application ~ This puppy applies like a dream, the wands angle helps the product to apply evenly staying inside of the lines of the lips, and even if it gets outside the lines of the lips, you don't have to worry because that can be fixed with one quick swipe of a finger!

This is where I stop singing This products Praises. The formula is very slippy, Looks gorgeous on the lips. But is easily transferred, particularly onto teeth. Not a good look. Since this product never really sets and is so easily transferred, I would not recommend these for your next hot date. By the end of two hours wear time, They begin to fade in the middle and leave a dark line around the lips, yet again, Not a good look. Also, I don't know if anyone has found this, but these smell very strongly of flour. Not Flowers, Flour. As these go under your nose that is all i can smell when i wear these. Just something worth noting.

As I mentioned before, I picked  up The shades Celestial and Aurora. Both absolutely beautiful shades. Celestial is a muted bubble gum pink everyday colour. Aurora is a hot corally pink colour. Aurora is my favourite and i think it will be absolutely gorgeous in the summer.

This was the only lip swatch that didn't make me feel extremely uncomfortable. Aurora on my lips.

I love the way these look on the lips but I do not think I will be repurchasing.

Thankyou Very much for reading!
