Rimmel Provocalips Review and Swatches
Kiss or no kiss, I want lip gloss and lipstick that’s going to last. As I’ve said before in a previous post this week, I’m the laziest when it comes to lip reapplication.
Rimmel’s track record so far when it comes to lipsticks/lip glosses have been spot on, so I picked up these two shades from their Provocalips collection.
Application is simple. You will need to apply the color directly onto the lips using the applicator, but let it dry for at least a minute before applying the gloss. It feels a little tacky once the color is dry, so adding the gloss on top makes wearing the lip gloss much more bearable.
It lasted quite long on the lips, but be sure to exfoliate and moisturize before applying this type of lipstick. It accentuates dryness and if there are dry patches on your lips, once those peel off, so will the color.
Not any old makeup wipe will do for removal (trust me, I tried), so I’d recommend using a heavy duty makeup remover to dissolve the color on the lips.
Kiss Me You Fool was a winner. Application was even, it was opaque, that shade of red complimented my skin tone and it was comfortable to wear.
Kiss Fatal was a little deceiving based on the packaging. I thought it was going to be a deep plum color, but instead it was a medium plum with a hint of sheen. I also didn’t like how it highlighted my lip lines.
Available at your local drugstore and Ulta for around $7.
What are your thoughts on ultra long wearing lipstick like the Rimmel Provocalips? Would you wear these on date night?

Erin, I hope you get to try these out one day 🙂
I’m a huge fan of the apocalips lip laquers so I should really try these. The two shades you’ve swatched look awesome!

Me too, I love the Apocalips so so so much! I find those long lasting too!
Kiss Fatal looks stunning on you! I didn’t even know about this product, I am going to check it out for sure. I am all about long lasting lipstick!
You’ll LOVE it, I know it! 🙂
I saw Judy from itsjudytime review these and she was kissing her babies with NO color transfer! I am also totes the same as you in that I am horrible at re-applying. I LOVE lipstick but am not a fan of residue on my water bottles, cups, and straight up eating it when it transfers onto my food or utensils (yuck….) so I don’t wear it often. But these sound pretty great! I agree with Megan Joy–the Fatal color looks great on you despite the color being more sheer and “defining!” Thanks for reviewing!!!

Right!?! It’s so gross, I always get lipstick/lip gloss residue on my coffee cups too. But yes, you have to try these lippies if you’re like me!!
I like the lasting power of these, but the stickiness of the formula gets to me a tad. I guess that’s the price you pay for not having to reapply!
