Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer!

Sooo I did jump on the band wagon when these were released and as they were on 3 for 2 at boots I had to get 3 of course be rude not to :-) back then they were selling for £5.99 but looking now they are £4.99 on 3 for 2 I don't know if this is a permanent price change or not.
I do love the packaging these come in its very sleek looking but not very easy to find at the bottom of a bag :-)
the product itself is described as
" The intense rich colour of a lipstick, enhanced by a satin smooth shine.The earth-shattering lip lacquer from Rimmel London"
I have read a few reviews with mixed opinions but this is what I think:
Now I really do like this product they are sort of creamy like a lipstick wet looking like a gloss without the sticky texture and after 2-3 hours when they start to wear away they do stain and I don't need to worry about them slipping or finding any creases because they always seem to stay we're you apply them.
I have really dry lips in the cold weather we seem to be having and even with that to compleat with they do a really good job, once they start to dry out they do tend to leave your lips feeling tight like it could crack on your lips it doesn't but I just re apply and were off again.
At the moment this is by far the best lip product for my lips I think I need to shop around for a decent lip balm ( recommendations welcome :-)) then I can start using lipsticks again.

Did anyone else follow the hype? What do you think?

Barry m gelly hi shine nail polish!

I started off with just one of these polishes a while ago and it has been sat on my shelf for a while and I never really used it if I'm honest, when I first did use it I thought nothing of it really it was super shiny but at the time I didn't think it was anything special, then I bought a second and I instantly fell in love! I don't know what it was that made me change my mind but these are my favourite nails polishes and can say they will be for a long time.i think it's dye to me been lazy with topcoats and never really bothering to put one on but these are like a 2-1 a polish and a shiny topcoat :-) and you can't really go wrong for £3.99 and they are usually on some sort of offer.
The coverage is good you do need 2-3 coats for a good block of colour depending on how you like your nails covered, the only thing that lets it down is the wear time I work in a clothing shop and my nails do get a bit of a battering due to deliverys ect more than others and I M still yet to find a polish that will last at least a day without the odd chip but apart from that I think these are good all rounders. I have some swatches below excuse the paper I have run out of nail wheels :-)

So what do you guys think of these polishes? Are they worth it ? Do you like love hate? Let me know :-)
