Rimmel London Provocalips - Review

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 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.

This was another lucky product I managed to get in the beauty vault. I was so excited to try this. I love bright lipsticks but I love the feeling of lip gloss on my lip ( I really dislike the dry lip feeling). This seemed to be the perfect product. I made sure before applying this I primed my lips well as sometimes the long lasting colours can be a bit drying so I exfoliated and primed my lips. I was a little bit nervous to apply as its such an intense red. The wand is quite small so it wasnt too tricky to make sure you got the colour inside your lip lines. Took a little bit of patience to get the colour on right but it was well worth it. You had to wait until the colour dried properly without touching it and then applied the second step which is a clear gloss designed to set and lock in shine. I tested this out on a night out and I am so pleased I did. The colour was highly pigmented so one coat for me was definately enough a very vibrant red but I loved it. I made it through a night of drinking, eating and catching up with friends and it never budged at all !!. I was sure there would be some wear and tear (some fading in the middle or something) but nothing when I got home it looked just as good as when I applied it. I even had one of my friends ask how my lipstick hadnt moved all night !. There was no rub off left on my drinking glass and no smudges. This was a little trickier to remove then a normal lipstick or gloss but Im happy with that compromise for the staying power. I will be buying more of these wonderful lipsticks for sure !.

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.

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.

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.

these are incredible!! application is key though for these. exfoliate, moisturise and apply properly and neatly. when this is done it will stay on my lips for hours with no touch ups what so ever. the colour range is to die for.

So I have so much to say already and I have literally only just got it in my hot lil hand today!! First impression: The colour is to die for and so my cuppa tea! It's cute and I love the fact that it had gloss at one end that I didn't even know about until I read the label properly. I was very skeptical about 'Kiss proof' promise because quite bluntly put no lippy I have ever tried or own have that power......enter Rimmel Provocalips - Kiss Me You Fool to prove me completely wrong and to put my skepticism at rest!

At first application I thought 'WHATEVER something this wet and gloss like can't possibly have stay power like it says'. It took about a minute to dry which felt like a bit too long and felt like yucky drying like glue on my lips but once I got past the initial drying period I had a shock horror moment when having a drink there was no lippy transfer!! I then rubbed my lips and NOTHING was on my hand and thre was no smudging. I made a video to prove it and posted it to some BR girls who are sold on what it promises! Honestly I have never seen anything like it, it's like magic! I wonder how easily it comes off though.....more research to be done so to be continued.....

10 days post use.......

It still blows my mind about how kiss proof and food and drink proof this liquid gold is! The staying power is so strong that it didn't come off with scrubbing with lip scrub, wiping, scratching and washing. It was like my lips were dyed red. Although good for lasting power, annoying for wanting to use other colours without scrubbing my lips with a wire brush almost to get the colour out. Still in love with though.
