Review - Rimmel London APOCALIPS


Rimmel has just launch the Apocalips in Australia recently. They are lip lacquers which are like hybrids, crossed between lip gloss and lipstick. They are much more pigmented than a lip gloss yet still provide a nice shine. However they don’t stay on the lips as long as lipsticks.

This line came out in the UK since last year and I’ve heard various good raves about them from UK youtubbers. Priceline is selling them for around $12.20 AUD as an introductory price and Chemist Warehouse have them on special for $7.99 AUD.

We have different colours compared to the UK. I bought one last year on a UK website lifesandlook called 301 Galaxy which cannot be found in Australia. If you are interested in purchasing them online here’s the link:

I got three altogether:
  • 101 Celestial
  • 201 Solstice
  • 301 Galaxy
It has the same application as a lip gloss


As you can see I've weird pigmentation lips, the top is darker than the bottom lip. It’s genetic but maybe drinking coffee regularly has so affect as well. Therefore, I always have to put on a lip product to even out the tone of my lips.


Solstice is a neutral lip colour for my lips which I love. It’s a nice everyday colour. 


Celestial is a light pink colour. I really like this colour.  Usually I can’t wear lighter colours because it doesn’t suit my skin tone but this one does. I think it is suitable for spring and summer.


Please excuse my problematic face. I’ve been breaking out a lot lately L


Galaxy actually is darker in person than photos. It looks nice in autumn and winter.


Don’t know how my hair got so messy hahaha.

VERDICT:

4.5/5. It’s super pigmented and has a nice gloss. It has a fruity smell? Kinda like a grapefruit? *shrugs* I don’t mind the scent. The gloss comes off straight after you eat food but the colour still stays on for around 2-3 hours. And the packaging looks cool.

They have an amazing range of colours so go and check it out J
