Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer (101 celestial)

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 NATURAL LIGHT)

(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.

• The range of colours available in the series.

• After applying the product there is a slight tingling feeling for a few mins before it becomes alright 
• Smell is too strong 
• Not all shades from this range are available in India

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer Nude Eclipse Review

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.

PROS

• You get a lot of product for the price
• Super affordable
• Not drying 
• The applicator is amazing
• The range of colours available in the series

CONS

• Shade is too light for most skintones
• Settles into lines
• Not transferproof
• Not opaque and neither can be layered up a lot 
• After applying the product there is a slight tingling feeling for a few mins before it becomes alright
• Smell is too strong
• Not all shades are available in India
