Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer Review

About two months ago one of my favorite beauty bloggers posted a picture of the Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer's and I just about fell out of my chair. A quick internet search confirmed what I suspected. These were the "Apocalips" that all the UK bloggers were raving about. I was beyond excited! I heard that they were available at Walgreen's and after work I drove straight to Walgreen's and was thrilled to discover an untouched display of all the colors. So I picked up a few and headed home ecstatic. I immediately tried them on when I got home. Wow. Loved the color and the pigmentation. They felt so smooth and were shiny. I happily sat around my apartment watching TV and when I passed a mirror was horrified to discover that I had the lacquer all over my teeth. At the time I figured I had perhaps touched the wand to my teeth when I put it on.

Sadly this has been my experience each and every time I try and wear any of the three colors I own. I've tried so many different methods. Someone even suggested I needed to apply it and then stick my finger in my mouth and close my lips around it to avoid getting it on my teeth (mind you I've never had to do that before and have never had lipstick on my teeth). But despite how unladylike like that seemed to me to do in public, when you need to touch up, I figured I'd try it. But it didn't help. One day I somehow had the lacquer on my teeth, nose and cheek!

Ugh look at how beautifully pigmented it is!

I tried putting on a super thin layer. I even tried sitting around with my mouth open hoping it would dry lol (very attractive). But unfortunately nothing I've tried has worked. The most workable thing I found was blotting it down till only the stain is left but at that point you lose the shine.

I'm really sad these didn't work out for me. 

I have to give it a thumbs down. It does not work for me. Wish I'd kept the receipts. I love the way they look and have worn them a couple of times but I have to keep checking my teeth in the mirror and ain't nobody got time for that. It's a deal breaker for me especially when I have so many other lip products that I don't have to keep checking up on.

I'd be interested to hear all of your thoughts on The Show Off Lip Lacquers!
