These Rimmel Lip Lacquers finally made their way to the USA. If you're over in the UK you already know all about these - launched as the Apocolips Lip Lacquers -- which I think is a way cuter name, than Show Off Lip Lacquer. But anyway, I really was excited to try these out. I picked up two shades at my local Walgreens. Check out my full review below, including all the product info, after the pics!

Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer Info & Review:
Cost/Availability: About $4.99 to $5.99 each depending where you shop (0.18 oz full size). Available at drugstores nationwide and online at places like Drugstore.com. I got mine at Walgreens.
My Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Kisses
The intense rich color of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine. It's neither a lipstick nor a gloss, it's bigger than both. Long live the color!
I would agree and say this is a mix of a lipstick and a lip gloss... a melted lipstick, if you will. Available in I believe 14 shades; 9 are cream shades and 5 are shimmer shades. I picked up two cream shades: Celestial and Nova.
Celestial is your more wearable, neutral, your-lips-but-butter pink but it still has a pop of color to it. Where as Nova is your very bright pink. Both have great pigmentation.
The applicator is your standard doe-foot applicator, but there is a hole in the middle, which holds more of the product making it a one-dip product to get all the color you need from a single swipe.
They are so pigmented and creamy rich that you do need a mirror to apply them, because it's easy to go out of the lines with this sort of product - but with a mirror I didn't have a problem applying them. They look really nice and full-color once on. They feel comfortable on the lips. The color lasts about as long as a lipgloss in terms of the shine it leaves behind, but sticks around slightly longer due to the lipstick-like quality of this.
Overall, I thought these were nice and I do like the two colors I purchased. I don't think I'd want to purchase any other shades because no others really popped out at me, but I always say that and then pick up another on a random Walgreens trip. I'd recommend these!
