I had heard so many rave reviews on the Rimmel Apocalips liquid lip laquers and I wanted to try them so bad, but I never really got any. Finally, I decided to get one of the wearable shades (Celestial), because I have too many lipsticks and wanted to make sure I could wear it on a regular basis. And that's what happened.
1. Packaging
This product has very nice packaging. It's a gradient between black and the colour of the product which I really like. That makes it easy to make a difference between all of the colours in your collection and looks very cool. The lid has a unique shape, something similar to a non-symmetrical diamond on top of it. It might bother some perfectionists out there and even though I am one (I have some OCD-traits as well), it doesn't bug me that much.
2. Application
I love the applicator of this lip laquer. It is a doe foot applicator with a dent in it which helps to get just the right amount of product out of the tube without having to dip it in again. The product has a smooth consistency and applies nicely on the lips. It might be a little bit harder to apply for some people with uneven lips, so for the darker shades, I would recommend using a lip liner.

Since I have a lighter shade, I can't talk about them all, but I would say these products generally have great pigmentation and look very nice and healthy on the lips. The finish of them is creamy and shiny, so if you are looking for a matte liquid lipstick, they are not for you.
4. Staying power
I don't think the Rimmel lip laquer is amazingly long-wearing, but it does last very well for what it is. The thing I found outstanding though is the way it wears throughout the day. It fades beautifully and I never get that white line that you usually experience with normal lipsticks. This product looks very pretty on the lips even if they are chapped and dry.
