Hello lovelies!
Today I wanted to do a kind of head to head between two different products. Hopefully this will become a once a month feature amongst different makeup products, but keep in mind that these opinions are my own and will not apply to every one!
For our first head to head I will be discussing lip products!
The first product is going bold! (well, with the colour that I chose), its new Rimmel London Apocalips. You may have heard all about how wonderful this product is from everyone and their mothers! There has been a huge hype surrounding this product, and sure the pigmentation is really good! .... Here comes the but, and it's a very big but...
Personally I find Apocalips very sticky when applying, and it tastes very strange.
I know, I know you're not supposed to eat it! But I believe if you are putting something on your lips, it needs to taste nice in order for you to want to use it again! Right?
- However -
It isn't all bad... It is very pigmented... but, it smudges very easily and it transfers onto other things like it cant wait to escape, which leaves you looking like you have just put a huge amount of lip liner on and no lipstick! (And that happens within the first few seconds of doing anything!) Although I have heard people say it is very long lasting and doesn't transfer, I have yet to see that. I have worn it a few times, but it just comes straight off. I do like the look of it though and love the colour range they have. If you can wear it without it going anywhere, please tell me what magic you're using! I would really like to wear it more often and with out thinking about re-applying it loads throughout the day.
