Spotted: Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquers (Apocalips) and Limited Edition Cocktail Colour Nail Polishes

The Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers  (US name: Show Off Lip Lacquers) have landed at Walgreens! Two lovely readers spotted the display (which also includes some fun, new Limited Edition polishes) and they were nice enough to share some pics with us!

Stephanie Louise of All Things Beautiful shared these pics of the end-cap (actually, "corner" cap) display at her local Walgreens:

NEW Rimmel display at Walgreens

I think it's interesting that even though Rimmel changed the name of these lip lacquers for the US market, they kept a nod to the original UK name, Apocalips, on the display. I feel like that's a secret "wink" to us hardcore beauty junkies who have been waiting for these to come across the pond.

Lots of additional pics after the jump...

NOTE: the Show Offs are new, permanent additions to the core collection. They are NOT Limited Edition.

(retail: $4.99 each at Walgreens)

Big Bang, Aurora, Luna, Stellar, Nude Eclipse, Light Year, Stargazer

I'm a bit confused because Walgreens seems to be putting "Exclusively at Walgreens" on their new product displays lately (see the new Almay eye makeup removers, which are also available at Rite Aid, etc.). These lip lacquers are actually not Walgreens-exclusives because they're also available at drugstore.com. I suspect all of the other drugstores/mass retailers will be carrying these as well at some point. By the way, thanks to several of you for the tip that they're also now available on the Walgreens website, but be warned: several shades are already sold out on both websites.

Here are the new Cocktail Colour Nail Polishes:

Rimmel Limited Edition Cocktail Colour Nail Polishes

(retail: $2.49 each)

The display indicates that the polishes are Limited Edition, so grab 'em when you see 'em (if you want some).  Stephanie said the bottles indicate that these only require "one coat." They all look to be glass flecked:

Apple Berry Smoothie, Hawaiian Punch, (I can't make out the shade name of the green one, but I'm guessing it's probably something like "Apple-tini")

Reader Kathleen of Prettydaysies also spotted the Show Offs at her local Walgreens and was nice enough to share some pics:

I asked Kathleen if these lip colors had safety seals (you know I HATE it when drugstore glosses don't have safety seals because it's impossible to tell if they've been tested!). Kathleen was nice enough to include this photo of the seal:

She said it's one of those stickers that breaks when you twist the cap. I'm actually VERY happy that there is at least something here that we can examine before purchasing. I think it's pretty easy to tell if this seal has been 1) broken 2) peeled open.

Have any of you spotted this big Rimmel display at your local Walgreens yet? Thoughts?

Thanks SO much, Stephanie Louise and Kathleen, for the awesome pics and sightings. I really appreciate it!
