Rimmel Apocalips review

Here is a quick product review on Rimmel's Apocalips! Hope it's helpful :)

 

After reading so many positive reviews on these products I had to try them out for myself!

 

The 'Apocalips' are available in 8 different colours, ranging from a subtle nude to a show stopping red!

This is great as there is bound to be one to compliment everyone.

 

When I went to purchase these my choice of colours was unfortunately limited as the product was out stock in over half of the different shades. In the end I settled for Nova - a fairly bright but not over the top bright pink and Big Bang - a gorgeous red.

 

 

I was impressed with the colours of both of these products, I quite often find lip glosses which claim to be coloured actually come out rather clear and transparent. But ohh no, not the Apocalips, this product doesn't lie!! It does what it is supposed to do and the colour is fab! 

 

 

 

The applicator is a great shape and you only need one dip in the tube to evenly cover your lips. This is a bonus as it hopefully means that the product will last longer.

 

After application the product has a glossy finish, I found that after a while the product did dry a little and look 'less glossy'. I also found that the pink (Nova) faded after a an hour whereas the red (Big Bang) stayed put for much longer.

 

All in all I think this is a great product. I love the packaging and range of colours! At £5.99 and 3 for 2 at Boots (quick get them soon!) I will definitely be buying more!

Beauty Wish List #1

We all have a wish list. Whether it's scribbled down on the first piece of paper we come across or well thought out and organised. I tend to keep a 'to buy' list on my phone which I am constantly updating - ticking off one thing I bought and usually adding another 3 in its place!

 

Anyway, lets get on with it! This is my current beauty wish list:

 

1) M.A.C lipstick

 

I am yet to try any M.A.C products and thought that one of their lipsticks would be a good place to start. With M.A.C's vast range of colours it might take me a while to choose but I simply cannot wait to get my hands on one!

 

2) Bioderma Crealine



 

I have read and heard an overwhelming amount of praise about this product! Everyone seems to love it and any criticism on this product appears to be non-existent. I thought it was about time I finally gave into temptation and added to my wish list.

 

3)MUA eyeshadow palette

 

This is the MUA 'undressed' palette, another product which I have read many positive things about. The colours in this palette look gorgeous and of a high quality. At a bargain price of just £4 I can't wait to try them out.

 

4) Rimmel Cocktail Colour nail varnish

 

I love the shimmer in these nail polishes and think these colours look amazing! What else can say? They are definitely on my wish list!!

 

5) Sleek Blush by 3

I love the fact you get 3 bendable blushers in one product. The colour combinations in these products are amazing and I especially like 'lace'. Blush by 3 is £10 which I think is very reasonably priced considering one blusher alone is around the £10 mark (or more depending which brand you go for). Superdrug has recently started selling products by Sleek, however I have not seen this product on their website or in store.

 

I could add more...lots more! But these are the products at the top of my list so I'll stop there! Its payday soon so hopefully I'll be able to tick some of these products off and replace them with more tempting beauty goodies!

I'll blog about all the products I purchase of my wish list so look out for some reviews hopefully sometime soon.

 

Whats on your wish list?

Can you recommend any products I simply must add to mine?
