HAPPY NEE YEAR EVERYONE!! I know it's February now, but better late than never! I'm going to be reviewing the Rimmel London Show Offs :)
As the name suggests, it's a lip lacquer. So, it has the consistency of a thick lip gloss, but the pigmentation of a lipstick. It sets as a stain so it will stay on through everything: food, drinks, kisses ;). I got two colors: Aurora and Big Bang.
Aurora is a dusty pink color, however a little less neutral than you would expect a dusty pink to be. On, it looks like a "true pink" color (on left of hand). It's a good everyday color if you dab it on your lips and spread it out with your finger. It could also be an evening/ bold everyday look if you apply it straight with the applicator. I'm also a little partial to this color because Aurora is one of my favorite Dosney princesses:)
Big Bang is a true red color (shown on the right of my hand). There is no way that this could be mistaken for a neutral. It's very 1950's movie star glam red. I like this better than any of the red lipsticks I have. The feel of it (as well as Aurora) is amazing and it applies smoothly. It doesn't dry out your lips too much as some lacquers/ stains tend to do, but it helps if you apply lip balm before applying the lacquer. Some people pull off the everyday red lip flawlessly, and if you are one of those people, I envy you greatly. Since I can't pull that off, I like this as my "classic red lip for going out, particularly if I'm feeling a little bit more glam than usual" color.
All-in-all, I'm really happy with these lacquers and I will be looking for more colors!
