In the past year, the two most talked-about products from Rimmel have been--without a doubt--the impossible to find in stores Scandal'Eyes Kohl Eyeliner in Nude and Apocalips lip lacquers.
The Apocalips line has been a HUGE hit in the UK, and I probably average at least two questions a week from readers wondering if I know if/when these lip lacquers will hit the US. Well if you haven't heard, they HAVE landed in the US, only they're called something else...
Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers (AKA Apocalips)
(retail: $5.49 each, now available in 14 shades at drugstore.com)
A HUGE thank-you to reader Jessegretag and Halifax of Sparkled Beauty for letting me know yesterday that these have officially been released in the US under the name Show Off Lip Lacquers. These lovely, creamy, opaque lip colors are now available on drugstore.com, and I'm SURE they'll be hitting other retailers very soon. And the best part? The US gets FOURTEEN SHADES, whereas the UK range offers eight shades. So I guess it pays to be patient, eh?
Are you excited to finally see these babies in person? If you're in the UK, I'd love to know what you think of these!
Thanks again, Jessegretag and Halifax, for the awesome heads-up!
Best news ever!!!!
ReplyDeleteYayyy! I wanna try them. Are we getting the same colors as the UK?
ReplyDeleteI'm only disappointed in the name change. Come on, "Apocalips" is probably the coolest and most bad ass lip item pun there can be. D:
ReplyDeleteAnd it was already used by UK brand Illamasqua for a teal lipstick.
DeleteTotally agree!
DeleteI'm disappointed that we don't get to have them called Apocalips :P
ReplyDeletei forgot i saw these on drugstore.com and was going to let you know im excited the shade luna looks beautiful
ReplyDeleteWhen I googled these it also came up that Walgreens has them on their website too!
ReplyDeleteFINALLY!!!
ReplyDeleteI've got one of these and it is AMAZING! The scent is bloody fantastic! I'm so glad that these are in the US now, I can get the rest of them! :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to get my hands on these!
ReplyDeleteYay! I have been stalking UK beauty blogs oooohing and ahhhing for months patiently waiting for these bad boys! And on the subject of the nude eyeliner,my walgreens secretly slipped a space in to the regular Rimmel wall display for the scandaleyes eyeliners,but didn't change the whole display.It is always pretty well stocked with them too since it is kind of hidden.

ReplyDeleteFunny thing, I was just about to buy one on ASOS.com so I searched google looking for swatches and this post showed up! I am ecstatic!!! I hope I can find them in stores soon!
ReplyDeleteYay! I have been waiting and hoping these would show up here after UK beauty bloggers and YouTubers have been talking about them!
ReplyDeleteOnly thing... why change the name?! Apocalips is a great product name!
Yay! After Estee talking about them being great I've been wanting them!!
ReplyDeleteI hope they're not anything like the Wet N Wild matte lip cream..those were horrible!
ReplyDeleteThose have to be the worst lip product everrrrr!!! I got the lilac/pink one and it was more like ceiling paint, it wouldn't budge w/ a facial wipe. I had to use an oil, and even then my lips were stained pink. Don't even think I lasted a full minute w/ it on my lips. Ick!
Delete*correction: I think the one I was refering to is called Mega Last, its in a gloss style container w/ a wand applicator but it is liquid lipstick. Awful stuff. Sorry I could be wrong again on the name, but they are new-ish and came in a display that had a pic of Fergie.
DeleteYaay! I kept eyeing them on youtube as well, wishing we had some to play with!
ReplyDeleteThese are ah-mazing! I am wearing celestial (got it in a swap) right now and I am pretty sure I will be getting all 14 shades! (yes I am a makeup hoarder!) I love them! They are creamy, smooth and stay on!
ReplyDeleteOooh I must order one now!
ReplyDeleteomg these are sooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that their nude eyeliner was a big thing, lol. I got that one and the pale blue one a few months ago at Meijer to use on my lower waterline. I do really like them.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I agree with some others though; I definitely prefer the Apocalips name!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed Rimmel does that for some reason. Maybe it's our population, but we always get more shades than Europe.
ReplyDeleteI realize how incredibly stupid this is, but I just ordered two off ASOS.com because of the NAME. Also, they were 20% off with free shipping. I got Celestial and Big Bang!
ReplyDeleteI just posted about these on my blog & was wondering if you had seen anything about the nail polishes called cocktail colours? I hadn't heard anything till I posted about hem! They're so cool!
ReplyDeleteJust spotted all 14 shades on a display at Walgreens, as well as the nude eyeliner on their makeup wall.
ReplyDeleteI just spotted them as well - as a reference I live in Southern California, Orange County :).
DeleteJust bought two at my local Walgreens! In love!
