This is a relatively new product by Rimmel London, in the US anyway! It has been out in the UK for a while and in the UK it is known as Apocalips instead of Show-Off.
When I heard this was coming to the US I was really excited and had really high hopes for the product. Now that I got my hands on it, I have mixed feelings. There are some really good qualities and some not so good qualities about it.
One good point is the price ($4.99 at Walgreens). I think that is a very reasonable price for what you are getting. Also, the opacity and pigmentation is WONDERFUL. It really is almost like a liquid lipstick. It feels good on the lips and the lasting power is really great. It easily stays on for hours.
The bad thing about this product is the smell. It is honestly horrible. The smell reminds me of chemicals mixed with flowers. Most of the time if a product has a "not-so-pleasant" smell it doesn't bother me because once you apply it the smell kind-of goes away. NOT the case with this stuff. When I put it on, the smell does not at all go away. It is really ridiculous! I have only worn it only a handful of times and I actually had to wipe it off a couple of those times because I just couldn't keep smelling it. That is the only negative I see with the product but it is a really big negative.
I wanted to add this picture to show you something unique about the doe-foot applicator. If you look at the center of the applicator, you will notice a little hole that is filled up with the actual product. I do like this little detail because that means there is enough product on the applicator to do both lips without dipping back into the container.
When I purchased the one color I have, I actually got two colors, but have since gave the other color away because it just wasn't a good color for me. However, the color I kept is really pretty and I enjoy it.
Overall, I would say if you think you can handle the smell of this product, then you should pick it up. The product itself is really good quality and a very reasonable price. I don't think you would be disappointed!
I hope you found this review helpful and I hope you have a great day!
