Rimmel London Provocalips - Review

i was interested to try the rimmel provocalips however upon trying i wasnt entirely impressed nor disspointed. in my opinion the product is simply meh. the stay power is good however the product seeps into fine lines on your lips and makes dry skin on lips stand out. this is not a very moisturising product at all and the colour range is poor.

I bought this after watching some swatches on youtube and so I went out and purchased it. it's double sided, one side is the color and the other is a clear gloss! The packaging is really cute, it has kiss marks all over it and it's easy to store away :) the formula of the actual colour is very smooth at the start and then as it dries it get gets really matte and you can feel the product on your lips. I personally like the matte look so I don't use the clear gloss but either way the lip stick stays on your lips all day but when your eating it does come off and I feel like I need to take the whole thing off and then reapply, I feel if I put more on top of what's already their after eating just makes it really thick and starts to flake..

Good: The consistency of this product is beautiful to apply, it is a little runny but makes applying it very easy. The colour is bold and opaque, no need to re apply to get a deeper colour. The lipstick doesn't budge (I kissed my hand like a thousand times throughout the day).

Bad: When applying you have to be very accurate because it is very hard to remove when you have made a mistake. After a few hours I noticed the lipstick starting flaking in the center of my lips (most contact with food, liquid, saliva). I could always 'feel' the product on my lips and was always conscious of it. Product is very hard to remove, I ended up using coconut oil, but I still had little bits left on my lips afterwards.

I would definitely use again but perhaps use a lighter colour where flaking in the center isn't as obvious.

When I first got this lip product, I was very excited because of the acclaimed long-lasting formula. I have this in one shade darker, but I find my experiences fit for all of the colours, since I have also tried lighter shades. I have tried it several times, with or without exfoliating my lips before and on days with or without events/training, and I experienced the same: When applying, it was very slippery and hard to apply. Definitely needs a lip liner. When drying it stuck to my lips in an uncomfortable way and it felt very heavy. The gloss to put on top had a very sweet smell and was thick and clingy. When wearing it, I constantly felt it on my lips and after 2 hours it started flaking and falling off in to my mouth and transferred in little flakes to my clothes and glass of water. The only reason I wear this, is because I love the colour. Once i buy a new lipstick in this colour, I will not wear this again.

Please note that this is only my experience with two of these lip products. I could have gotten extremely unlucky and had two faulted products, yet I think not.

I was gifted this red one by a friend, I wore it that night, and the next day I ran out to buy the hot pink from the same line and now I want all the other colours. This has got to be the best formula of long wear lipstick I've ever used. At first when I put on the coloured end and let it dry, I thought, oh no, this is going to be uncomfortable and flake off. But to my surprise, it not only was very comfortable and didn't flake off, but it stayed absolutely PERFECT and even stayed glossy for a very long time as well. I can eat, drink, talk, even kiss through wearing this and it doesn't budge. I was so shocked at how perfect it stayed and how comfortable it was. As a test, one night I took all my makeup off except the lipstick, just to see how it would last overnight. Woke up - PERFECT. haha. I did find it a little hard to remove with a makeup wipe, or even micellar water, I've found you need an oil based remover to get rid of it, that's not really a con, since I already have oil based removers but just something to keep in mind. I hope they bring out more colours!!!

I really love this product. It's hard to find something that is so long lasting, and lasts through eating and drinking. It's definitely one of the better lipstains that I have tried (and I have tried a few), plus it's pretty affordable. My only issue is that I wish there was a bigger colour selection in NZ (I'm thinking about you Kiss Fatal 230) . However when I apply a lipliner underneath (Make your Move 730), I can alter the colour. With such a long wearing lipstick, you can expect some dryness as the hours pass, so i usually just apply more of the gloss on the end or a little bit of lipbalm and then I'm good.

Love makeup but are you a lazy girl at heart? Yeah me too, I love to apply makeup in the morning, but I don't like having to touch up and and reapply my makeup often. Its just too much of a hassle for me and so a product like this is perfect for me.

This product has two ends, one is a pigmented lip colour and the other is a clear balm product. The product is applied in a two step process, first the colour end and then the balm. I'm not a fan of the packaging, it does the job but it isn't that pretty.

I actually love this product. The product is pigmented and pretty comfortable to wear. I wouldn't say this product is moisturizing though but it isn't overly drying.

When this product says that it is kiss proof, it is not lying. I can put this product on in the morning and it literally lasts all day long. It's actually the type of lipstick that needs time and effort to get it off your lips, but oil based cleansers make easy work of this.

I would repurchase this product, I do wish they increased the colour range of these products, but they have some beautiful colour is their current selection and this lipsticks really are worth the money.

In my opinion THE BEST longwear product out there. Have tried a few lipsticks even lipbalms that clsimed to be longwearing but did not work. This product from Rimmel does what it says. Once the 2nd part is applied it does take a minute or two too dry on lips but once it is dry you are good to go. Once it goes on you hardly even feel as if you have something on your lips and my lips dtays moisturised. You can kiss eat and drink as much as you can with this and you gave the bonus of having nice shiny looking lips all night or day.

It is so longlasting that even the next morning (and this is after I cleaned my face) some of the product is still on my lips and have to give my lips a very light scrub with my facial cleanser or some wipes for it to come off

This is the first time I laid my hands on liquid lipstick this style, and until today it's the only one I have.

I have #700 Skinny Dipping. Beautiful Natural light brown colour for everyday wear.

I usually like my lipstick matte, just because it stays on longer and doesn't go everywhere. But this was nice to try, I always have it in case I want glossy lips.

I do think this product is a great idea two in one! saves me space and time from having to look for a gloss to match my lipstick.
