Hi guys,
Todays blog post is about the new Rimmel London Provocalips 16 HR kiss proof lip colours. I have been testing these out for the past week. I wanted to wear all the colours to see how they went throughout the day.
I can definitely say they are 'kiss proof'! They don't transfer at all! Even after 6-8 hours most of the colours still look great and don't transfer.
My almost 1 year old baby boy also helped me with determining if these lip colours are smudge proof, as he loves to grab a hold of my lips when I wear bright lipstick and smear it all over my face. Thankfully not with these babies though!
There are eight different colours in the collection including nudes, pinks, reds and a purple.

How hard could it be, right? Well, these aren't as easy as normal lipsticks to apply because they are liquid so here are some tips I found through trial and error that helped me get a better application.
Step 1. Apply the colour.
Tips-
Make sure your lips are clean and dry. Wipe off any lip balm so the colour applies evenly to your lips. I found when applying it you want to try make sure you put on a thin even layer so it doesn't take too long to dry or start to clump up. If any spots wear off during the day only re-apply to those places and not the entire lip as it can get a bit clumpy/flaky looking.
The doe foot applicator makes it easy to get a crisp line without using a lip liner and it doesn't fade at all around the outside edges of your lips.Try not too press your lips together until the colour fully dries or it might look a bit uneven.
Step 2. Apply the clear gloss/balm.
Tips-
Apply on top of the colour once it has fully dried. It says on the packaging this locks in the colour and adds shine. The gloss makes it really comfortable to wear and I forget I have lipstick on. It can be re-applied during the day after eating or if your lips start to feel a bit dry or tacky.

| Swatches of colours without gloss once dried Left-Right Playing With Fire, Kiss Me You Fool, Kiss Fatal, Little Minx, Make Your Move, I'll Call You, Skinny Dipping and Dare To Pink |
This first swatch is of 'I'll Call You'. It is a nice mid toned rosy pink which applies and lasts really well. I put it on in the morning and it lasted all through the day with no touch ups. The only place it really wore off was a bit on the inner part of my lips.
'Make Your Move' is a brown, rosey colour with a little bit of gold shimmer in it.
This was my hubbys favourite because it looked the most natural on me he said and I think this is a great MLBB (my lips but better :P) for people with olive skin.
This one is 'Little Minx' which is a cool toned bright pink. I love the colour but it didn't apply too well on my lips. As you can see and it didn't really suit my skin tone either but if you have pink undertones to your skin this colour would really suit you.
'Kiss Fatal' is a dark plum/ purple colour with a kind of frosty looking finish.
'Kiss Me You Fool' This colour is my favourite and is the longest lasting and easiest to apply. Even after showering and washing my face my lips still looked virtually perfect! I couldn't decide if this is a cool toned or warm toned red so I have come to the conclusion it must be neutral haha what do you guys think? It has no shimmer which I like and makes your teeth look nice and white which is always a plus.
This swatch is of 'Playing With Fire'. It is a deep burgundy, red colour (the lighting in the photo makes it look brighter than it is) with no noticeable shimmer. This one also applies really nicely.

This swatch is of 'Skinny Dipping' which is a light brown nude shade. Honestly, I don't like this colour on me as it is too light for my complexion and looks kind of funny as it wears off and has a bit of a frosty finish like Kiss Fatal.
This last colour is called 'Dare To Pink' which is a light nude, baby pink. This one creases the most out of all the colours but still looks nice for a couple of hours and doesn't smudge.

Removal
The best way that I have found to remove these lipsticks is an oil based makeup remover (because these guys are super hard to get off!) I used the L'Oreal one pictured above.
I also tried Micellar water which did zilch and scrubbing it off with some lip scrub which does eventually work if you have been wearing it for a few hours already but it does hurt your lips and is no good unless you want to take all your foundation off with it too.
Overall, these Rimmel Provocalips lip colours are great and in my opinion are definitely worth the $18.95 from Priceline if you have been looking for a great transfer proof lip colour like I have. Just keep in mind some colours do apply and wear better than others and I feel like the darker colours last longer than the nudes.
I hope you guys have enjoyed this post and I will see you next time!
