REVIEW: Rimmel Apocalips

Hello friends,

Well another day, another review. Not that I mind. It's also gotten so dull outside but it's not cold.. YET! Asides from all that I hope everyone is well.

I know Rimmel have just recently brought out new colours in the Apocalips range BUT I haven't been near a Boots or Superdrug to see them. That's a weekend mission hehe. I want to review the three I have and I think they're popular enough to be helpful if anyone is wondering what they're like.


You will have to also excuse some of the lighting the pictures, it was a dull evening. I realise I need more white and that in future.

Rimmel say 'It's the End of Colour as you know it! The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine. It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss... It's BIGGER than both! 
LONG LIVE THE COLOUR!'



I would definitely agree with the shine finish and rich colour. You're paying £5.99 RRP for a great lip lacquer. They are highly pigmented and very long lasting. I think the price is very reasonable too. 

 Let's get to the colours I have shall we?
 

Unfortunately I haven't mastered taking good pictures of products on my lips so swatches on my hand will have to do for the moment.

Nude Eclipse looks nicer in the tube and on my hand than it does on my lips. I do find it to be quite bland so teaming it with a nice baby pink or nude brings it to life. I always try to make a product work before giving up on it. 

Big Bang is a very vibrant red. It is super gorgeous and very glossy. I cannot tell you how pigmented they all are. This can be worn alone and look great. 

My favourite of the bunch is Nova. I love the cool toned baby pink colour. I love that it looks good with any eye makeup you do. Isn't in your face bright but bright enough to be admired.

Overall, I cannot fault these lip lacquers. Definitely one of the best products Rimmel has brought out in recent years alongside the Moisture Renew lipsticks. Go buy one or them all people! hehe.

Have a wonderful day,

Victoria xox

Revlon Colorburst Matte Balms | JanBlog #20

Image
Hey guys, Well I ran out this morning to grab the new Revlon Colorburst Balms as I have seen them on every American YouTube video and blog so I needed one at least, or them all. Now they had the 'Just Bitten Kissable', 'Lacquer Balms' and 'Matte Balm' in stock, for now. They seemed to be going fast. I really didn't like any of the others and my hand was full of swatches. Sometimes I just get very focused on particular shades, like today. I have this bad habit of going for bright pinks and deep reds lately and everything I buy lip wise lately is cool toned haha. How pretty do they look? I got 'Standout' which is the deep red and 'Showy' which is the vibrant pink. Both cool toned hehe. They seem to be exclusive to Boots at the moment but are on their website, click here. They retail for £7.99 and are excluded from any offer going on at the moment. They have a wide range of colours in all versions of the balm. A

My Acne Story | LUSH Grease Lightning

Image
Hello loves,  Well I have a different kind of post today. It is about my acne and a product I tested to try help it out.  I mentioned this in my Top 5 LUSH products post just this week. It is one of a kind. I am about to share some rather honest pictures so look away if you're easily offended.  My skin is oily in the t-zone area and can be dry elsewhere. It is also quite sensitive and I have redness on my jawline that can sometimes be quite visible. I use to have acne prone skin when I was a teenager and into my early 20's.  I will link to the LUSH website where you can see ingredients etc at the end.  I had noticed several blackheads on my face and really didn't want them to sit there and become worse so I decided to try this product. It straight away smells like Witch Hazel and Tea Tree which I like, it's an almost clean smell. It feels like a gel and as it dries you can feel it tighten over the designated area. This disappears when yo

Collection Does It All 5in1 Mascara

Image
Hey. Well the other week I saw Shaaanxo instagram a picture of her lashes using a Collection mascara. I thought wow that's pretty impressive for a product under £5. This mascara claims to curl, volumise, lengthen, condition and that it's long wearing. I can tell you now this is all true. I have been testing this for about a month now and it is seriously impressive.  I am terribly fussy with mascaras. I don't tend to like the massive wands with tonnes of bristles sticking every which way. It was very surprising to me that I love this mascara. The wand is very comparable to Maybelline 'The Rocket' and Benefit 'They're Real'. When I tried Maybelline's 'The Rocket' I was constantly poking myself in the eye or mascara would go all over my eye lid. I didn't find that it did a whole lot for my eyelashes. This beauty is £4.99 in Boots or Super Drug and sometimes they have it on offer for £4. I genuinely love this
