I always find myself wandering into boots and superdrug to have a peruse through products, constantly telling myself 'No you don't need that, walk away'. I did that in boots when I saw the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers.. but then I went to superdrug and they were discounted. So I may have bought one :S
I love the packaging. The pop of the pink just caught my eye and I think somehow really adds to the boldness that the name brings.
I bought mine in the colour 'Nova' which is quite a dusky pink that still has a pop of colour, so it's very wearable but not a shocking 'in your face' kind of pink.
The actual applicator is lovely- it holds the product really nicely as it's quite spongy, so it just glides across your lips.
On the lips, it's very true to colour and a little definitely goes a long way, so I think this will last me for quite a while.
Its staying power is one of its best features for me. A few days ago I went to the cinema and applied it before leaving the house. By the time I got home around 5-6 hours later, I could still see the colour clearly on my lips even after eating, drinking and generally talking. It obviously wasn't quite as pigmented as it had been earlier in the day though.
These are just perfect for me as they're somewhere between a lipstick and a gloss. They're not as sticky as a gloss but still have a pretty shine in them.

I'll definitely be sneaking back to superdrug or boots to buy the other shades of these and I can see them becoming a well loved product in my make up bag. Rimmel deserves a pat on the back for these I think!
Have a lovely day, whatever you're up to :)
