Rimmel London Apocalips - 304 Eclipse

The Rimmel London Apocalips is a lip lacquer which is £6.49 from  Boots. 

'The earth-shattering lip lacquer from Rimmel London combining the intense colour of lipstick with a lacquer like shine, Apocalips Lip Lacquer is an explosive make-up phenomenon that represents the end of colour as you know it. Packed with pure colour pigments, its lusciously creamy, conditioning formula promises a never-before combination of colour, shine and comfort that last and last. Available in 8 shades, from subtly sexy to spectacular.'

I bought this as I read a good review on it on someones blog (I'm really sorry but I can't remember whose it was! Slap on the wrist for me!) I love lip products and I always have to have a bit of colour added to my lips otherwise I think I look odd lol. At £6.49 I think this is a great price and so I bought the shade Eclipse, this is a dark berry colour.

I do like this apocalips, it has a great doefoot applicator and the colour is the best thing about this product. It is very pigmented which I love and a little is all you need. It has a nice shine and lasts too. The one thing im not so keen on is the smell. It has to me that cheap lipgloss smell that you use to get in magazines, remember those? I also find that you have to make sure you apply this very neatly and precise because it can look messy very easily!

I probably do prefer other lip makes like Revlon to this but this is still also great because I like the shades available.

Have you tried these?

Revlon ColorBurst Matte Lip Balm

I went shopping the other day and bought lots of make up from Boots. I spotted the Revlon Matte balms and had to try them because I love their Just Bitten balms.

I chose the last 205 Elusive Insaisissable shade which is a nice more on the natural side of a pink colour. 

I am really glad I bought this as I absolutely love it and is what I am wearing all the time! I just recently bought another shade 250 Standout Remarquable but I havent worn it yet because I just keep wearing this!

These are £7.99 from Boots and I love the matte finish. They apply nice and are lovely and creamy and a bonus is that it moisturises too!

It contains Shea, Mango and Coconut Butter and is retractable so no need for the sharpeners! They come in 10 shades. They still have the minty smell but that didnt bother me before. Once I have applied it I cant even smell the mint!

Have you guys tried these?

I have bought the Lacquer ones too which I also need to try :)

Apivita Lip Balm with Honey

I dont where I have been living but until I got sent this in my package from *Farmaline, I had never heard of Apivita before. 

Apivita are the first natural cosmetics company in Greece. Apivita means the life of the bee. The products of the bee is a source of inspiration for the company.

My first thoughts on this was I didn't actually like it, I didn't like the smell of the honey and I found myself really pushing it on to get some product lol. I think I also didn't like the thought that it wasn't my Vaseline lip balm. 

Well I was stupid to think that because now I absolutely love this! I love the smell of the honey now and I think I found it hard to apply at first because it was new. I use this all the time throughout the day and I cant get enough of it and it has replaced my Vaseline balm.

This is also 100% natural ingredients which is great! I also love the packaging of this and that the balm is at an angle shaped for the lips.

Taken from the website:

• Restores cracked lips with vitamin A, a- bisabolol and avocado oil
• Moisturizes and softens lips with honey, olive oil, beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, avocado oil, castor oil and jojoba esters
• Vitamin D and orange essential oil protect from environmental toxins and prevent irritations
• Ideal for dry and cracked lips

Free of: Parabens, Silicones, Propylene Glycol and Mineral Oil.

These are around £5.00 which to me is pretty pricey for a lip balm but it is really good and natural!

Have you tried any Apivita products before?
