A while ago I heard great things about their Apocalips Lip Lacquers, and decided to give them a go. I bought 500 Luna and 501 Stellar from feelunique.com (one of my favourite websites), which arrived pretty quickly. 500 Luna is a peachy nude - is it possible for there to be a bright nude shade? If so, this is it. 501 Stellar is a bright, hot pink shade which is almost red.
Stellar looks much more red on the lips than it looks on the outside packaging (and my pictures), so be aware of that! I am a big red lipsick fan, so I like this colour and it is a nice spin on the usual vintage red shade.
I saw the lovely Zoe (www.zoella.co.uk) wearing Luna in one of her videos and I really liked how it looked on her. Unfortunately it didn't look as good on me. It might be my hair or colouring, but it just didn't suit me. I can still wear it occasionally if I'm going on a day out or a festival or something, but it's not really something I'd wear every day.
The first thing (after the colours) I notice about these is the wet consistency. It's not a bad thing, it's jut very different to what I'm used to. The applicator is nice (I like doe foot applicators a lot) and it's pretty easy to get a precise shape. And if you mess up, it's easily fixed. Unfortunately, that means it does transfer.
One thing I don't like, though, is the scent. It's quite strong and I can't quite put my finger on what it smells like. The Kate Moss lipsticks have the same scent, it's just not as strong. The smell a minor issue, though.
So overall, I like the Apocalips. I don't think I'd rush out to buy them again, but I am glad I bought them.
