Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial

As promised, this is a review of Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Celestial! 

Description on the website:

•                For the first time, the intense, richer color of a lipstick is enhanced by a smooth satin shine

•                Ultra-intense, ultra-comfortable – it lasts all day

•                It's neither a lipstick... nor a gloss... it's BIGGER than both

The earth-shattering lip lacquer from Rimmel London combining the intense color of lipstick with a lacquer like shine, Show Off Lip Lacquer is an explosive make-up phenomenon that represents the end of color as you know it.  Packed with pure color pigments, its lusciously creamy, conditioning formula promises a never-before combination of color, shine and comfort that last and last.

Price:

I bought it at 30% off on ASOS.com. It's also selling at S$13 on Shopping-district.net, which is really affordable.

Texture:

It feels a lip gloss, but it's not sticky.

Scent:

It has quite a queer chemically-fruity scent, but the funky smell doesn't linger for long.

Swatch:

Celestial is a rosy medium pink that is very natural and suitable for daily wear.

Packaging:

The lip lacquers are packaged in a plastic tube, with an unique doe-foot applicator. Unlike Big Bang which has really intense pigmentation, Celestial is more on the natural side,  thus I find that the applicator works pretty well at scooping up the right amount of product.

What I like:

• The product glides on smoothly and it doesn't feel sticky
• Lovely pigmentation
• A very versatile colour that suits almost any kind of makeup looks

What can be improved:

• Lasting power is better than Luna, but as with the other 2 lip lacquers (Big Bang and Luna) I own, it's slightly drying after the initial gloss wears off

Celestial is one of those MLBB(my lips but better) colour. Initially I thought that the shade might be too dark for me, but it turned out to be just right! After trying out Big Bang, Luna and Celestial, I have to say my favourite has to be BIG BANG because it's just so bright and in your face! However, I get more use out of Celestial and Luna because they are just very easy, no brainer everyday colours.

I'm currently trying out another lip lacquer-type product, and I feel that it's BETTER than the Rimmel lip lacquers! More on that in another blog post! :)
