Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Luna

A couple of months ago, I reviewed Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Big Bang, and I was blown away by it's pigmentation and lasting power. At the beginning of November, I did a small haul on ASOS and bought Luna and Celestial (review coming soon!).

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:

On my lips, Luna is a milky peachy pink. I imagine it to be really flattering for a wide range of skin tones.

 Packaging:

The lip lacquers are packaged in a plastic tube. Not super glam, but for the price, I can't really complain.

What I like:

• The product glides on smoothly and it doesn't feel sticky at all
• Lovely pigmentation, but it's not as intense as Big Bang
• The pretty milk peach pink is really flattering on my yellow-tone skin

What can be improved:

• Application could be slightly streaky at times, and it doesn't go on as smoothly as Big Bang
• Lasting power is not amazing, a few sips of my morning tea and it's pretty much gone

Overall, I think Luna is a lovely everyday colour, but I would prefer it to be more long-lasting. The brighter colours from the range are definitely the show-stopper, with intense pigmentation and great lasting power. I think if you only want to try one colour from the range, pick the bright reds and pinks!
