My favorite drugstore lip lacquer -Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer

,   It's not a lipstick or lip gloss. It's even better! The Show Off lip lacquers are creamy and rich with color. They come in 14 shades at most drugstores here in the US. Everytime I'm rushing out the door these are the only lip products I reach for. Do you want to here the best part? THEY COST UNDER $5! That's such a good deal. I think every makeup lover should have these beauties in their collection. Check out my swatches down below. Thank you for reading.

                     
         From left to right: Nude Eclipse, Celestial, Solstice, Nova and Aurora



They all have a doe-foot applicator for easy application. What I really like about this one is how it pools the lip lacquer in the center. I don't have to constantly dip it back in the tube to get more product. 

From top to bottom: Nude Eclipse, Celestial, Solstice (shimmery), Nova and Aurora

                                                        Nude Eclipse 
                     
Nude Eclipse is a creamy nude with warm undertones. I like to use this shade to tone down intense lipsticks.  Sometimes I think it can be too light by itself. It can tend to wash you out if your not careful with it because it's such an opaque color. 

                                                             Celestial
             
Celestial is a nice pinky-muave. I love this color. It's my go to color out of all the shades I own. Go get this color! You will love it.

                                                             Solstice
            
Solstice is a shimmery shade with a pink-muave color. At first, I was afraid of this shade when I looked at it through the bottle but I am so happy I picked it up. The shimmer in it is so subtle and beautiful. I tend to stay away from shimmery shades since I have acne but this Solstice is perfect. 

                                                             Nova
           
Nova is a bright blue base pink. It's the perfect summertime shade and very flattering. I always wear this color alone because there is no need for the extra color. It's my second favorite color that I have.

                                                 Aurora 
             
Aurora is a beautiful color. It's a coral-red shade with warm undertones. In person it's definitely darker than it appears on photography. They only have one shade that's darker than Aurora but I have all I need with this shade.  I love how this shade can be bright but a deep pink at the same time.
