My Rimmel Apocalips Collection...

Remember when Apocalips were getting SO much hype in the beauty blogging world? Of course I couldn't ignore the hype, but I didn't go out and buy *all* of them at the same time just because they were popular.

I've slowly built up my collection and I now have 5. I'm writing this post now because I know I won't buy anymore. The colours I don't have are the ones that don't appeal to me - the paler and/or nude shades.

Admittedly, some of the shades that I have are ones I rarely use, and one of them, Stellar, (also the first one I bought) I've never worn out because it is SO bright and a bit scary.

Without further ado...

I haven't posted lip swatches because when I try to take the photos, they don't turn out very good...maybe someone can help me refine this skill?!

Overall I really do like these lipglosses - the main reason is because they are super duper pigmented! I like that the applicator has a reservoir to hold the gloss, making application easier. You don't need to dip the brush back in because it gives you enough gloss to coat your lips. 

Applicator

As for the smell, it is quite pleasant - sort of rosy like? I have no idea but to me it smells nice. Also, these don't set so they transfer easily onto things such as glasses and people - if this is an issue, blot!
 Now I'll discuss them individually...

Stellar

This is the one I haven't had the courage to wear out. It comes out as a vibrant neon orange-red...not sure if I can pull off an orangey colour on my lips! I've only worn it when at home alone, playing with makeup (we all do it, cmon) and it is VERY bright. It does leave a stain so I think it would be quite long lasting.

Apocaliptic

I adore this colour. It's a deep but still bright fuschia colour. I wear it when I want bold lips. This has good last power as it does leave a stain on the lips. 

Nova

A pretty, girly pink. On me it sort of looks like a Barbie pink but I do like it! It goes well for daytime occasions and casual evenings. Does not last quite as long as the two above because it doesn't quite stain but it looks lovely.

Solstice

Out of all of them, this is my go-to colour when I don't know which one to use. It's a MLBB colour with a hint of shimmer. I wear this one the most out of all because it works so well with many outfits/makeup looks. Similar to Nova in the sense that the lasting power is not as good, and it does leave a trace of shimmer behind.

Celestial

I'd probably describe this as Solstice's less attractive sister. It's a nice watermelon-pink colour, very wearable and, well...nice. I remember my high school English teacher hated us using the word 'nice' because it was such a bland adjective, but it seems to fit here. It looks pretty but it's not really a unique colour in my opinion. If I had to eliminate one from my collection, it would be this one. But don't get me wrong, I still enjoy using it!

And that is my collection. Feel free to critique my thoughts on these colours! Do you also have an Apocalips collection? Which shades are your favourite? Let me know by commenting below!
