Rimmel London Apocalips in Across the Universe (402)

First things first, let me just apologize for being the world most rubbish blogger ever! I cant even say I have been too busy to blog because that is not the case, I have literally just had nothing to talk about? So here we are with my first Rimmel London Apocalips! I have heard mixed reviews about these but in the end I decided to bite the bullet & just purchased one of the reds - Across the Universe.

Rimmel describe the Apocalips as "The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine...
It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss..." Now, I would say it is definitely a lip gloss but with the intensity of a lipstick. The lasting time isn't amazing; its roughly about 2-3 hours before you have to re-apply. I also did find it was quite drying on the lips but nothing a slick of lip balm can't fix. I would say Across the Universe is one of the truer reds in the collection and I would definitely be interested in trying some other colours. Unfortunately for me, a pink lip does not suit me as much as a red lip does so I can't really try most of the other colours. I think one more little problem I found is that the wand applicator has a hole in it so excess product gets stuck in there and you find yourself with a lot of product on your lips. I found myself having to wipe off most of the product that came out of the tube so I wouldn't be making too much of a mess. 

Other than that, definitely a good little lip product and I will purchase more colours when I get a chance.

So again, sorry for the lack of postage in the last few weeks, I will definitely try and get back in the routine of posting a couple of times a week. I know it seems like I only just started a new job but I am actually leaving my current position to go on to bigger & better things; I will be working at a Bupa nursing home (eee) which is very exciting! So at the moment I have to wait for references to be done, I have also got a week and a half left of work at my current position so after that I can start training and hopefully get started :) so lots going on at the moment!

Hope you all have a great weekend, and let me know what you think of the Apocalips?

Look Beauty Haul

Look Beauty have had a half price sale on for quite a while now and I eventually had a little butchers after receiving numerous emails from them. I think I actually got a few bargains so I am going to show you what I got!

 

The first thing I had to get my hands on was the Mini Makeover Palette. This palette is designed for those with green eyes, I don't have green eyes but they're more hazel so im sure I can get away with it. The palette consists of 8 eye shadow shades; most of which are matte and a couple are shimmers. I love the gold shadow! There are also 4 lip colours and a rosy pink blush. I haven't swatched or tested any of the cubes yet but when I have had a play around I will be sure to put up a fill review! You can get this on the Look Beauty website here for £3

 

 

 

The next item I added to my basket was the Cheeky trio in Candy Floss. This is designed for those with pale skin tones (hello me!) and holds a bronzer, a blush and a highlighter. On the back it shows a little tutorial on how to apply each which I think is quite useful. Im saving this for my holiday so again it hasn't been used yet. When it has a review will be done! You can get this here for £4.

 

 

 

Next is the Triple Hit eye shadow pot in Party Fever. I chose these colours because purples and lilacs compliment hazel & green eyes really well. First impressions I was really pleased with the size; its about the size of my palm which I really wasn't expecting so its very good value for money. I haven't tested this out either and I am again saving it for holiday so a full review will be up when ive tried & tested. You can pick up the Triple Hit shadows here for £3.75.

 

 

The Look Beauty Fat Lips are something that I have actually had my eye on for a while. Im not really a massive lover of lip products, I much prefer a lip balm so a lip balm that leaves a pop of colour as well is my type of thing. I have looked at these a few times and decided I needed to get one! I picked up the colour Frenchie which looks like a brownish nude and its exactly the colour it transfers onto the lips as which im happy about because I hate it when the colour on the lips is nothing like the colour in the bullet! Its not too dark but it definitely does show on the lips as a dark pink gloss. it glides on really easy and is really moisturising. Fat Lips are available to buy here for £3.

 

Have you splashed out on any Look Beauty products? What are you thoughts?
