Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers: Review & Swatches

Hi everyone! There's good news, and there's bad news.  Lets starts with the bad news- I may not be able to get that many posts in this week. :( I am leaving for cheer camp on Wednesday and I won't get back home untill late Sunday night!  I will try for two posts this week.  

The good news is *drum role* I bought two of the Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers!!! (RSOLL for short) And I'm going to review and swatch them for you!!! *crowd cheering* *mini dance party* *mom walks in on mini dance party* *awkward moment*

I know I may be a little late on the band wagon, as these lippies started popping up in drugstores towards the end of May...but better late then never!  I found these beauties at Walgreens (the RSOLL are exclusively sold at Walgreens) for $5 each.  There are 12 other shades in the line, with 14 total.

The lip lacquers are incredibly pigmented, and they have a great texture to them.  1 swipe= opaque, full, coverage with these bad boys!  They have a really smooth and creamy, non-sticky, texture that I love. I found that these lasted about 3-4 hours on my lips before I felt like I needed to reapply.  The color faded evenly, and it stayed inside my lip line throughout the whole day.  Eating or drinking wipes the color off of your lips quickly, so I would recommend reapplying after meals.  One problem I had with these is that they have a very unpleasant smell, so if you're sensitive to scents you may not like these.

Now to the fun part- swatches!! 

      

Since these lip lacquers are so pigmented, I can wear them 2 ways: sheerly- for a light wash of color, and full on- for completely opaque bold color.  When I wear them sheerly I:

1. Apply lip balm (usually the eos lip balm)

2. Dot the lip lacquer on my lips 

3. Spread out the color with my finger 

I also love a bold & opaque lip as much as everyone else!  Here's how the lip lacquers look when they're applied regularly:

I think the shade Aurora is my favorite.

I also sometimes mix the 2 shades, which creates various different rose-y shades. 

Final Thoughts: APPROVED

 • Opaque color

 • Inexpensive 

 • Smooth texture 

 •Decent wear time

 •Large shade selection

 •Many different ways to wear it

 

(Only CON= unpleasant smell)

Well that's all for this post! As always, I hope you are having a fabulous day, and I will be sending new posts your way soon. :)

Byeee,
