Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer Nude Eclipse
Earlier this year while purchasing lip products i came across the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers ( Show Off Lip Lacquers in USA) which consists of Lip lacquers of 8 different shades ranging from nudes,pinks,corals,oranges,red,and 1 dark red. I wanted to get Across the Universe which is a darkish red shade but sadly at that time it wasn't available in India. So I got two shades Celestial(101) and Nude Eclipse(600). I have also reviewed Celestial and I will link it down below :)
First coming to the packaging it is a really unique packaging with a super roll in roll out lid which keeps the product air tight and is completely spill proof so thumps up for travelling with it. The body is black on the upper part and it shades down to the colour of the product at the lower part which is good for storage so you know what colour family it falls into while storing. But the shade name is not written anywhere around the body which is a drawback since many shades are quite almost alike so the packaging might seem confusing. 5.5ml of product is recieved with the packaging which is quite a lot for the price if you ask me.
The applicator is dope shaped with a lil pouchy dent in the middle for picking up the product. This is really useful for applying. The pointy side of the applicator helps to reach the edges and define the lip line well.
Now coming to the shade as the name suggests Nude Eclipse should be a true nude but sadly it is not for most complexions. It might work as a nude for the palest of pale white complexions but even if you the slightest most tinge of colour in you it will wash you out completely.
On the hand swatches it comes out creamy opaque moist and nice perfect for winters to keep the lips hydrated. But sadly it is not so on the lips.
As you can see the colour is almost like my skintone and if I apply another coat it becomes even lighter and washes me out terribly making me look ill . For lips like mine which has the slightest amount of pigmentation this shade will not work at all for them as it is not at all opaque. The consistency of the lacquer is creamy and thick but too thick to be layered up for better coverage.It is not transferproof and tends to settle in the fine lines badly. However it does not dry out the lips and keeps it moist and supple. If you are a bold person and love having fun with colours lighter than your skin then this colour is perfect for you.
I use this as a base for other lipsticks as it neutralizes any sort of pigmentation for the lips. If you want to use this as a base take a very tiny amount of the product with the applicator and dot it on the lips then smoothen it out with your finger. After letting it settle for a min or 2 take a blotting paper and very lightly blot your lips for the excess products to come out .Over the ready base use the lipstick of your choice.
