Product Review: Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer, 303 Apocaliptic

This lipstick/gloss comes in 13 different shades, including a bright pink 303, which is the one I have.

Advantages
The catch phrase "it's neither a lipstick nor a gloss... It's BIGGER than both!" really applies to this product. I have never come across a more colourful and glossy lipstick, and on top of this the staying power is amazing. Additionally, it does not feel sticky at all but really nice on my lips. I really recommend this product if you like very colourful, shiny lips. Also, the price at around £ 5 is OK I suppose. Finally, there is a good colour range available for this lipstick.

Disadvantages
The first disadvantage would be the applicator. You do need to develop an application technique in order to apply it correctly. The main problem is that too much of the product comes off, and because the colour is so vivid (at least the one I have), you need a steady hand as any slip will make your lips look terribly uneven. However, what I do is I put on a few tiny dabs and then a regular gloss, evening the colour out. This will prevent your lipstick from feeling heavy and smudging too much, especially when you are on a dinner out. In addition, I know that some people have a problem with the smell of this lipstick. Admittedly, it does have an artificial smell. However, it does not bother me too much.
