One more day till it is officially Summer!!! One thing I am super excited to sport this Summer is ultra glowy skin and a neon lip, and I have found the perfect lip product to accommodate all my expectations!
During the Summer months I like to keep my skin as product free as possible so that reapplying sunscreen is fuss free. I also love wearing light fabrics in very neutral colors. I don’t want to absorb any heat! Sweat is no one’s friend! I have found that the best way to look put together whilst maintaining such a minimalistic style (without seeming like a bore) is to have a nice pop of color on the lips!
Rimmel’s Show Off Lip Lacquer in the color Apocaliptic is the perfect pop of color because the richly pigmented creamy formula is super long lasting. It does not move around or bleed. One would think that since it is so long lasting that it would be drying, not this lip lacquer! It is ultra conditioning and has a smooth satiny finish, which only enhances your glowy summer skin! Rimmel refers to this product as “Earth-shattering” because of the level of intensity the pigments provide and how lustrous it makes your lips look. A lipstick lipgloss that is super comfy to wear due to its very light consistency. IDEAL!
Now this product is not advertised as a stain or transfer proof so do expect to see lipstick marks on your glass if you have a drink, but the color does stay put, and reapplication is a breeze. I have found that in an 8 hour day I have only had to touch up once! And the doe-foot applicator makes for a very smooth and precise application as it has the dip in the center that grabs and holds the product.
I usually prefer that my lip products have as least fragrance as possible, this does have a fragrance but nothing offensive or off-putting at all… It actually smells of a watermelon Jolly Rancher, which is completely fine by me!
The ingredients aren’t anything mind-blowing, but one thing it does contain worth mentioning is the silk powder, maybe that is what gives it that lip hugging, soft caress for your lips kinda feeling =) And at six bucks a pop it is certainly worth exploring all the other color options, of which there are a whopping 14 colors!
Apocaliptic is a great bright pink that looks amazing on my tan make up free skin. I swipe a wash of shimmery champagne shadow on my lids and a couple swoops of mascara and I am ready to go! You know me by now, always looking for the lazy girl pretty way to get it done! And this certainly does the trick.
Have you tried any other of the colors? What is your favorite lip product for the summer?! Let me know in the comments below or tweet me @alostsavant
