RIMMEL APOCALIPS LIP LAQUER (NOW AVAILABLE IN CANADA FINALLY)

On Thursday I was looking through the new flyer's and discovered that the new Rimmel Apocalips are finally in Canadian stores.
The next day I made my dash to SHOPPERS DRUG MART to get me some.

I am surprised to tell you that there are in fact not 8, BUT 12 gorgeous hues to choose from.
Some of the other colours that were not the original 8 are Aurora, Out of this world, light year and Solstice

Today I am going to share with you the 6 that I picked.

The first one is somewhat my least favourite of the ones I bought. I find it very sheer and not incredibly buildable. This is a shimmery gold nude, only a couple of Apocalips have this shimmer finish, everything else is an opaque cream.

701 STARGAZER

 

 

Then staying with the nudes I also chose

 

100 PHENOMENON

This has a very creamy finish that if not done correctly can look really bad on the lips AND EVERY LITTLE mistake shows. Watch out for those with drier lips as it really shows up dry skin because it is so opaque. The one thing I noticed if you build up the colour when your lips part they tend to stick together with a string of colour hanging between them. This is a peachy nude that is very similar to Lime Crime's "COSMOPOP."

 

 

 

 

 

 

102 NOVA

This is a pretty rose pink colour that is really suitable for a lot of skin tones because it has the right balance of cool and warm tones in it.

 

 

 

 

 

101 CELESTIAL

Celestial is a dusty rose pink that has a bit more of a muddy undertone compared to NOVA above. I like both equally, but for more everyday use I would probably be more inclined to reach for this colour.

 

 

 

 

STELLAR

Stellar is very red, but not a true red as the shade called "Big Bang." However it certainly can hold it's own in terms of being bright, vivid and having amazing colour payoff. This is a summer time melon red.

 

 

 

 

 

303 APOCALIPTIC

Apocaliptic is a more reddish pink with strong blue/purple base tones. I prefer this colour over "Stellar." These bold colours wear intensely bright, but Apocaliptic tends to be a bit deeper. This colour makes me think of cherry popsicles.

 

 

 

 

All in all Rimmel Apocalips live up to there claim for insane pigmentation in one sweep application. However I am not a huge fan of the scent of these lip lacquer's and hope that maybe one day Rimmel will change that particular part of their formulation. I did wear "Nova" for a couple of hours the other day and it seemed to wear without any hassle. As with anything touch ups will be required. I do hope Apocalips stick around for a while and maybe Rimmel can offer more colours in time or maybe a couple of limited edition colours for the holidays or a specific season.

I want to point out that all though Walmart is a dollar cheaper they only have 6-8 colours available where as Shoppers Drug Mart has a selection of 12 great colours to choose from.               

IN CANADA THERE IS MORE THEN 8 APOCALIPS

 

 

Thanks for reading and make sure your lips are ready for an Apocalips ;)
