Apocalips by Rimmel

The bold lip. Honestly? It scares me a little, especially if it is in a shade other than coral or pink (this is only on me of course, I love it on others).

Rimmel has come up with a definite bold lip product, but it's not a lipstick, it's a combination of a lip gloss and a lipstick. Apocalips have a runny texture like a lip gloss but they stay on like a lipstick. This product is super long wear, it is simple to apply with the applicator and they give a gorgeous glossy finish.

I currently own two of the Apocalips:

Stellar which is a pink/coral/red gloss and it is really really bright and vibrant - the definition of a bold lip I say.

Celestial which is almost a mauve colour - it is wonderful for subdued looks, maybe during the winter with a grey jumper on (just an idea obviously). It is bold and yet subtle at the same time, perfect if you are a little taken aback by how strong these apply first go.

The great thing about these (apart from the staying power and the glossy-ness) is that they can be a way to ease yourself into a bold lip, rather than going straight for a matte red lipstick. If these have taken your fancy, you can find them here.

The First Pastel of the Season

So I recently acquired this Rimmel London 60 seconds polish. It is in a gorgeous shade of lilac, to be more precise "620 How do you lilac it?". I found that it was super easy to put on - it has a wide brush that means it's easier to paint your nail and avoid streaks. Not only that but it only needed two coats and dried rather fast I found. It gives a wonderful shinny, almost jelly-like, finish which is also marvellous. I am really impressed by the staying power of this polish! I painted my nails on Monday and it hasn't chipped and it's now Thursday night. That, i'd say, is pretty damn good!

I called this post the first of the pastels because it seems pastel-enough to enter that category... well, at least I think so - thoughts? I'm thinking a mint green is next... I have my eye on Mint Candy Apple by Essie....

Rimmel certainly gets my thumb of approval for this one. If you're looking for a nice pastel, but not too pastel, go for this one! You can get it here.

Hope you're all well!
