Rimmel Apocalips in 'Stellar' and 'Big Bang'

Rimmel Apocalips

'Stellar' and 'Big Bang'

£.99 Boots

The Rimmel Apocalips are still causing quite the stir in the blogging world with them popping up on various blogs all the time

After reall liking the first two I purchased, Apocalipta and Luna, I bought another two to try out

Both Stellar and Big Bang are completely out of m comfort zone

Every time I venture into bright lip territory either my mum or fiance makes a comment on how bright my lipstick is...normally this is quite mocking and makes me take it off straight away

But I've come to the decision that I will no do this anymore and I'm going to embrace the bright lip and enjoy it!

Stellar is a stunning colour, it's a rosy kind of bright pink and really wearable for such a bright shade  

I think this one is my favourite so far and one I can see myself reaching for over the summer a lot, it's already earnt it's place in my holiday make up bag

I love how glossy these are on the lips but once the gloss has gone they leave behind a gorgeous stain, with Apocalipta I found this to fade really unflatteringly but so far Stellar has been ok.

Sorry about the super blurriness in the swatch but you ge tthe idea on colour

Big Bang is definitely a true, bright red

I wore this on a recent night out and have to say after one too many cocktails I ended up with a clown like red smile as this smeared all around my lips and stianed the skin...not a great look

Al though the Benefit MUA advised I try a barrier of concealer (specifically the new Fake It) which should stop this from happening

Or I could always not have the extra cocktails!

Over all I am really loving these lip products and will definitely be picking up a few more

Celestial and Nova look like lovely everyday shades, pefect for the office!

Have you ried the Apocalips range yet?

Rimmel Apocalips 'Luna' and 'Apocalipta'

I'm sure you've all seen the new Apocalips all over the blogging world
I gave in to the hype and have to say I really like them
I bought the bright pink Apocalipta first and found it really flattering on my skin tone
Very bright and in your face so I keep it for nights out, not quite embracing the bright lips for daytime yet
My only problem with Apocalipta is the way it fades, it leaves a very prominent line around the lips and doesn't look very flattering. Al though it lasts a good two hours before this happens
You also need to apply in a mirror to avoid looking like a clown!
However Luna is on the complete opposite end of the colour scale
An orange toned nude which gives just enough colour to the lips to stand out but not as in your face as Apocalipta so a good wearable everyday shade
As you can see from the above pictures it gives a polished look and makes my face look more pulled together
I like the formulation of the products, like a liquid lipstick similar to the Collection 2000 Lip Cremes but glossy
The packaging is also lovely, for a drug store make up brand I think it looks quite high end and I like the angled black lid.

Overall I really like the Apocalips and will definitely be looking at picking up a few other colours

Any recommendations?

Love
Belle
