The new Apocalips Matte Lip Velvet come in 4 shades, I believe. I got the lightest one, called Atomic Rose. Despite the rose name, I find the colour is more coral toned. I hope you can tell by the swatch.
The texture is smooth and for a matte product it feels quite comfortable on the lips. The lasting power is very good too. Because it is so opaque and pigmented, it sort of leaves a stain behind, which means I only feel the need to reapply once a day.
I think this will be a great competition for the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet Lipstick. I have only tried the Bourjois in store, a couple times, and wasn't a huge fan, especially because of the smell of it. I know everyone has been loving it, but I think Rimmel is definitely a better match for me.
If you're curious about the Apocalips Matte, Boots currently has a 2 for £10 deal on selected Rimmel products. Great deal, considering just one Apocalips is £6.49!
Have you tried the new Apocalips Matte version? If not, do you want to? What are your thoughts on the matte lip trend? X
I really wanna try these!! I love the regular apocalips! Celestial was my first shade too xx

I haven't tried them yet, but I swatched one of the darker shades and loved it! They're cheaper than the Bourjois version too :) xx

The Bourjois one I have flakes off my lips in a terrible way... This one sounds better though! I'm truly interested in it since you're loving it and I love a good mat lip ;) xx

I really didn't like the Bourjois one! Did you notice they smell bad or was it just me? Rimmel is definitely better. xx
DeleteI didn't even know these existed! Need to get some of the colours! x

I am so excited about these as the original ones were too glossy for my liking, I really need to try these xx

Oh really? Even though I like the matte look, I still prefer a glossy finish. :-) xx
DeleteI generally prefer a matte or at most a satin lip for bold colours and then definitely a glossy finish for 'nude' colours. Don't know why! I'll look out for these in store. Thanks!

Oh wow this is such a gorgeous colour! I prefer matte finishes to be honest, I think probably because lips are naturally matte!
