Hey guys! I hope you've had a nice weekend and that your Monday hasn't been too awful! I went into Superdrug last week to chat to a friend who works there, and ended up leaving with six different products. Excellent. Two of these were Rimmel Apocalips lipstick/glosses, which I've spoken about on here before and have been one of my all time favourites forever!
Rimmel have recently released a new matte range of the Apocalips, which features five shades from a nude pink, to a very Autumnal purpley shade! Most of them have similarities to the regular range, for example- the nude pink (Apollo) is really similar to the shade Luna!
I picked up one of the original formulas in 'Across the Universe' which is a dark pinky purple, and as expected it's a beautiful formula which is super super bright on the lips. You do run the risk of having this smear slightly onto your teeth, but it's a minor risk. White tea cups and glasses beware, this stuff is bright.

The other shade I picked up was from the Matte range, in the shade Meteoric Matte. This is a really really dark, plum colour that feels a little different on the lips to the regular formula. It's still creamy, and doesn't dry your lips out, but there is a definite feeling of almost a fine 'graininess' on the lips. It's not unpleasant, but if you only apply a thin layer and allow it to go fully matte, your lips do feel a little funny. It certainly wouldn't put me off this product though, and it is almost certain to be my new Autumn favourite colour!

I love this lip lacquers, and at only £6.99 each they are a definite bargain product. I'll be picking up some more in the future, but if you're looking for a bright lip shade, these are definitely the way to go. I'm not a nude lips kinda gal, but from what I've heard, these are definitely best for bright, out there shades!
Have a lovely week!
