The Basics:
It's the End of Colour as you know it!
The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a
satin smooth shine.
It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss... It's BIGGER than both! LONG LIVE THE COLOUR!
Swatches:
Overview/Opinion:
First things first the packaging. I
like it, the meteor themed top of the tube is pretty and unique among
the various (um,
five) glosses that I own. I do also like the applicator, it's a
doefoot but with a dent in the middle so it holds more product. The
colour of this one is stunning as well, a lovely wearable purple with
microglitters! Glitter! I think this is the only one of the Apocalips
that has glitter, but I could be wrong. Anyway it's a win with me,
and not massive or abrasive either. I haven't found this to be
massively drying, not compared to many of my lipsticks anyway, but it
is drier than your average gloss. The wear time isn't great I'll
admit, less than an hour on me, but if you view this more as a gloss
it makes sense and isn't too bad. People have complained about the
scent of these, but I really don't mind it. Maybe that's just me.
Positives:
Highly pigmented. Glitter. Pretty
packaging.
Negatives:
Poor wear time. Some might dislike the
smell. More drying than a gloss.
Great review lovely.. I wish the scent was different :( otherwise I think they're my perfect lip product :D xx

Yeah, I know some people hate the smell. Honestly I don't mind it, but I like the smell of hairdye so I guess I'm pretty weird with smells xD
DeleteThe colour is very pretty. But only one hour of wear is very disappointing.
ReplyDeleteit may just be me and my lip product killing ways, all the other reviews I've seen have lasted longer
DeleteI kinda like the smell myself, and for what it's worth I found the Apocaliptic colour to last at least a few hours - maybe the pigments are different?

DeleteIt might just be me, I think my superpower is making lip products disappear xD
