Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in 101 Celestial, 102 Nova, and 401 Aurora Review & Swatches

I don't really shop for drugstore cosmetics much and that goes without a reason really. I guess I'm just more of a Sephora girl. But, from time to time, there are products from drugstore brands that pique my interest. Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer, also known as Apocalips Lip Lacquer in the UK, is such product. While I was aimlessly wandering around my local CVS, it caught my attention and I decided to pick up three shades - 101 Celestial, 102 Nova, and 401 Aurora.

The product is a liquid lipstick/ lip tint with a mousse texture. It claims to provide long-lasting vivid color while moisturizing your lips with camellia oil. There are currently 7 shades to choose from. I got mine in shade number 3, 4, and 5.

Tom Ford Spring 2014 Collection: Lip Color Sheer in Summer Fling & Nail Lacquer in Indiscretion

For Spring, Tom Ford has released a limited edition collection featuring a beautiful ivory packaging instead of the usual black. When I first saw this on Nordstrom, I was stunned by how gorgeous it is. The collection comes with Lip Color Sheer (available in 8 shades - US $49 each) and Nail Lacquer (available in 4 shades - US $32 each, 12 ml). When I visited the Tom Ford counter at Bergdorf Goodman, the sales assistant swatched Color Lip Sheer in Summer Fling on my lips and I really loved how it looked on me, so I decided to get it. I wasn't planning on purchasing the nail lacquer, but I guess the beautiful packaging just got me.

It's Summer Somewhere

 

My recent trip to Los Angeles, California was an awesome break from school work and more importantly, New York's freezing weather. Although Cali beach was pretty chilly, it was a great change of scenery. I'd kill to live in a place like that!
