Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer
(101 Celestial)
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 got the one in Nude Eclipse(600) apart from Celestial(101) and reviewed it which I will link it down below
First coming to the packaging just like the Nude Eclipse, Celestial also has a really nice packaging with a roll in roll out lid which keeps the product air tight and is completely spill proof making it suitable 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 mentioned anywhere around the body which is a little confusing for the shades which are almost alike. You get 5.5ml of product with the packaging which is quite a lot for the price.
The applicator is dope shaped with a little pouchy dent in the middle for picking up the product. This helps to not pick up excess products at a time. The pointy side of the applicator helps to reach the "oh so difficult to reach" edges and define the lip line as well.
The shade is a very wearable pretty everyday pink with very slight cool undertones perfect for office wear or day wear colour. The colour is such that it will go with most complexions from the palest of pales to the dusky beauties.

(UNDER FLASH LIGHT)
The lip colour is creamy opaque with 1 or 2 swipes even for the most pigmented lip. It is moist and hydrating perfect for drying lips or to be worn in winter. It settles in a semi matter finish after 5 mins of application and is extremely light to wear on the lips.
