Rimmel Apocolips are essentially a glossy lip stain which is why I was attracted to them in the first place. I love the look of glossy red lips but my past experience with them is that they migrate all over my face and end up in my teeth. This product is very easy to apply precisly and I found blotting it an unnecessary step as it just removed most of the colour. I wore this out on Friday night and it lasted through a few drinks (and poutine) and didn't smudge at all. It felt really light and moisturising on my lips.
Big Bang is a bright red shade that leans towards the warm wide. It's pretty similar to another red lipstick I own, Topshop Mischief. I actually think I prefer this as it feels lighter on the lips than a traditional lipstick and lasts much longer. It is worth noting that Rimmel Apocolips smell like watermelon so if that's not your thing I wouldn't recommend them. The smell is much more subtle than other Rimmel lip prodcuts though and it disappears with time.

Aaah it looks amazing on you! So glad you like it xx
ReplyDeleteThanks again Jess :) I'm so happy to have this!
DeleteWow, that is literally stunning! I can't wait until it's available here!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be nice to swatch them in store but ordering off ASOS will still probably be cheaper!
DeleteI love how glossy it is - so pretty! I asked for one of these from my UK swap partner, I hope they sell them here soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to see which one you got!
DeleteThat is beautiful! And hey, on sale for $7.81 CAD at Asos! Yay!
ReplyDeleteEven if they were sold here I doubt they'd be that cheap!
DeleteThis looks so nice on you! I have one of them in Celestial but I really want Big Bang!

DeleteLooks great on you, Christine!

Looks lovely on you :) I save this for my braver days! The only thing I don't like about these is the scent xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicky! I'm not a huge fan of the traditional Rimmel "scent" but have to admit this is more subtle than their lipsticks (which give me a headache).
Deleteahh i want one so badly!! I hope they come here soon! this colour looks gorgeous on you!

Me too but it's so hard to pick which ones!
Deletei think this rimmel red looks great! i saw a trick once where you pop your finger in your mouth for a sec to get rid of the lipstick on the inner rim of your mouth. sounds weird, but it works lol
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks I will try it! I usually just lick my teeth.
DeleteBig Bang looks amazing on you, especially with your eye makeup :) I haven't tried the more subtle shades but I'm so tempted to buy all the shades available!
ReplyDeleteMaire
Thank you :) I'm curious to try the subtle shades too to see if they are just as opaque.
DeleteIt looks great on you! I would definitely buy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Georgina :)
