Rimmel London Provocalips - Review

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.

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..

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.

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.
