Hey my lovelies,
I hope you are having a great day. I wanted to do a full
review of the Rimmel Provocalips/ Play With Fire, because I absolutely love
this lipstick, it just amazing. Everyone who is struggling to find a lipstick
long lasting this one is definitely this is the perfect one.
When Rimmel released their now famous 'Apocalips' lip lacquers,
I was more than a little bit excited. After seeing all the hype surrounding
them, I just couldn't resist buying a handful of them when they were
released. With this being said, I was very excited to hear about Rimmel's
latest lip offering 'Provocalips' - another range of liquid lipsticks
that claim to be kiss proof, transfer proof and fool proof. Yep, big claims
from Rimmel so I was excited to see if they lived up to them. Lets face it, who
doesn't love a long lasting lip product? Its always a pain having to re-apply
lipstick every time food and drink passes my lips so I was welcoming this
transfer proof product with open arms.
As I mentioned, much like the Apocalips,
Provocalips are a liquid lipstick that are applied directly to the lips with a
doe foot applicator. However, unlike Apocalips, they're a double-ended product
and as well as the liquid lipstick, they also come with a lock and shine
topcoat to seal the colour and ensure it lasts all day. I have to be honest
when I say I'm not blown away by the packaging as I do find the lip print
slightly cheap looking but other than that, I really like the two step colour
and seal concept as its different to any other lip products in my collection.
Play With Fire is a lovely dark red, but both of these shades need a little
bit of layering to get an opaque finish.
The liquid itself is fairly running to apply and can get a
little messy but with a steady hand, I managed to apply it without looking like
a clown and was amazed at just how pigmented the colour is. A couple of minutes
after application the liquid dries and begins to feel a little drying but
that's to be expected with any kind of liquid / long-lasting formula so I
didn't mind too much. However, one thing I would say is that it’s important to
exfoliate the lips before using this product because if you don't, they will
show up every dry patch. Thankfully, when the topcoat is applied, it gets rid
of the dry feeling and also makes the lips slightly glossy, which I love.
My favorite of the three is definitely Play
With Fire as its just perfect for this time of year and looks really striking.
My favorite thing about the Provocalips, other than their
intense pigmentation, is definitely how long lasting they are. Seriously, when
Rimmel said these are transfer proof, they weren't lying. When I first received
them, I swatched them on the back of my arm and they just wouldn't budge - even
after I scrubbed my arm in the shower. These are the only lip products I've
ever used that have lasted all day or all night without the need for a touch
up, even after eating and drinking.
Amazing!
Overall, these are a fabulous product and I'd recommend giving
them a try if you like a bold lip, but struggle to find lipsticks that are long
lasting. Seriously worth a try!
Have you tried the Rimmel Provocalips? Are you a fan?
Nikoleta Lj, xoxo.
