The perfect lipstick: Opaque, long lasting and with a reasonable price. It's like I'm on a never ending quest. Brands come out with better lipsticks every week. I'd love to try all lipsticks out there, but that is fanancially and timewise pretty impossible. I did come across the Apocalips-hype and I immediately wanted to try the Apocalips line. They might not be the perfect lipstick (they're actually liquid lipsticks), but they're pretty damn close.
I bought the shades: Big Bang and Stellar. Big Bang is a vibrant red, it reminds me a little of a pin up red. It has a cool undertone, which makes your teeth look whiter. Stellar is a bright, in your face type of pink.
The packaging of the lipstick is very nice. I like the geometric pattern on the lid and the sleek look the black colour gives the packaging. The brush has a sponge tip, which wouldn't be my first choice, since it's quite hard to apply such vibrant colours precisely.
The colour payoff of the Apocalips is truly amazing. One sweep of the brush gives you a perfectly opaque tint. The colour does bleed a tiny bit, but it doesn't bother me too much. The Apocalips are also extremely shiney, so the colours are a little daring. Swatches say more than words could do:
