Rimmel London Provocalips - Review

Since joining Beauty Review I have taken so many makeup risks, I have tried lip colors that I normally wouldn't try as I am normally a nude lipstick kind of girl, and this would be one of those makeup risks.

I had purchased this one plus Dare to be pink (dusty pink shade) from the recent Beauty review vault and I was beyond nervous to try this shade. It took me 2 weeks to build up my courage to just try this shade. I had swatched it many times but getting it to my lips was a different story. The red is the brightest and boldest red I have ever seen, the color on the outside doesn't match up to the color on the inside.

One day I was feeling daring so I pulled this lipstick out, applying this to my lips felt like glossy butter. The formula was thicker than Dare to be pink and alot easier to control because of the consistency. The applicator made it easy to line the outside of your lips and fill them in easy, I couldn't believe how pain free it was to apply this, what was I being so nervous about! The pigmentation is crazy! So opaque and bold, the boldest colour I had ever used. I applied the top coat once the first coat had set and I was ready to take a step back from the mirror and see. I was so happy and impressed with the color, I fell in love with this lipstick the first day I tried it on.

It didn't move when I kissed my babies on numerous occasions and I even forgot I was wearing lipstick unless I caught myself in the mirror. Drinking from straws and eating was easy, there was no trace of color what so ever.

Thinking back I cant believe how I made myself so nervous over a color I had never tried, and now its my most favorite lipstick I have to date!

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 !.

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.

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.

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.
