Hola,

So i bought one of the Rimmel Apocalips lip glosses the other day in great excitement, only to be, well let down.

i was thoroughly looking forward to trying this as i have been wanting to get a really pigmented lip gloss for a really long time now, so when i saw that these had come out, i wanted to try them. I picked up the colour 'Apocaliptic' which is a bright fuchsia.



I don't want to be overly critical of this product as I was VERY impressed with the pigmentation when swatching it on my hand and applying to my lips, it is a really rich, creamy texture that applies really well. The doe foot applicator is good in the way that it is pointed so you can really get into your cupid's bow, but it is almost solid so it doesn't really feel like you can bend it over your lips like you normally would with a doe foot applicator.

However, although this looks beautiful when you've just applied it, about 15/20 minutes down the line, it bleeds REALLY badly around the edges of my lips. Due to the fact that it is a really bright, pigmented colour, it really does stain where it has bled into the lines of skin around my lips. It is really hard to get off and applying more just makes it look more and more smudged. I guess this could be solved with a lip liner, but it isn't ideal.


The next, not so great thing about them is that they have this slightly odd scent. It isn't so unpleasant that i want to remove it but it is a bit weird. It is almost like an artificial citrus fruit mixed with makeup remover or something. If you smell it, you'll know what i mean.

So overall, i am not that impressed with this, although i really wanted to be. I think the fact that it bleeds could be solved with a lighter one of the colours in the range. These are not that expensive (£5.99) but i still kinda think i have wasted my money.

Love, Emma xoxox

p.s. what do you think of these? do they bleed around your lips too?
