Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers

I'm a bit late to the game with this post, as the internet has been buzzing about these lip lacquers since they made their appearance in the UK as the Apocolips lacquers. (Which I still call them on accident all the time! Why they changed a good thing, I have no idea!) I don't know what took me so long, but as I perused the aisles of Shopko about a month ago, these lip lacquers caught my eye and I couldn't resist temptation any longer. 

These definitely live up to the hype. These lippies are creamy, mega-pigmented and absolutely beautiful on the lips. 

One of the coolest things about the Show Off Lip Lacquers is the unique doe-foot applicator. As you can see, there's a little divet where gloss pools. This makes it easy to get complete coverage with just a once-over.

The staying power isn't the greatest;I get about 2-3 hours before experiencing some fading and caking on the lips. They're hydrating for the first hour or so, for the time that they still feel glossy on the lip. Once you hit hours 2 and on, my lips do start to feel a bit dry - but I'm known for being reliant on chapstick. You may find these keep your lips thoroughly hydrated.

The only thing that peeves me slightly about these is the smell. It has the classic old lady lipstick smell, which is just a bummer. These would be so much more delightful if they smelled of vanilla, or basically anything but old lady lipstick smell. 

Here are the shades I have:

Product: 5/5

Pigmentation: 5/5

Texture: 5/5

Packaging:  5/5

These are a hit! I can look past the shorter wear time and old lady smell because of how comfortable these are on the lips, and the sheer beauty of the pigmentation and colors. I love these. I want to own every color in the line because they are that fantastic. I would highly recommend you try these out for yourself! Love love love!
