(LOL, I sound like a TV commercial don't I?!) Honestly though, these lip lacquers are really THAT GOOD! & Today I am a writing a first impression of the three shades I own: Celestial (My absolute favourite), Nova and Apocaliptic.
Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer L-R: Celestial, Nova and Apocaliptic
First of all, I LOVE the packaging! Especially its diamond cut shaped top, I haven't seen anything as unique as this before. Rimmel Apocalips comes packaged in a 'big-head-small-body' black tube with an ombre style on the bottom. The color of the ombre part is actually made of transparent plastic and the color shown is whatever color of the lip lacquer.

Totally clueless! All I know is the Apocalips Lip Lacquer is perfect inside out! From its packaging to its applicator and its color choices to formula and scent! Oh My Gawh, those who loves a refreshing melon scent would adore this! I can't describe the exact scent, some says it smells like watermelon; to me these lip lacquers smells like a mixtures of melon and fresh veges!

♥ NOVA - warm pink
♥ APOCALIPTIC - deep pink
Out of all three shades I own from the Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer range, CELESTIAL is the only one that I have tried on the lips and it is my favourite for a various reasons; in-depth review to come soon.
The pigmentation of each Apocalips is so amazing, the colors are so vibrant and beautiful, both in the tube and in person. These are so moisturizing and hydrating during wear, they don't dry out your lips, nor do they slides around or bleed. The formula feels lightweight and it glides on the lips smoothly.
Apocalips worn well for pretty long hours, even though I have only tried Celestial on the lips, I can just imagine the long-lasting hours Nova and Apocaliptic has to offer as they are both darker shades. Celestial worn well for six hours on me and when it fades, it leaves a pretty dark-medium pink stain.

BAD FIRST IMPRESSIONS
product color name is printed on a sticker, with a barcode and it is stick between the cap and the tube, when opened the lip lacquer for the first time, you have a choice of either tearing up the sticker or remove the sticker over all; but the thing is, the sticker is the only part on the whole product with the color name. I made the mistake of removing the barcode sticker of Celestial, I didn't know and if I have remove all the stickers on all three tubes, I would have no clue which one is which. why can't they just print the color name on the tube, or something?
Have you tried these lip lacquers? What is your favourite shade(s)?
