AD| It’s very easy to get stuck in a style rut. You love your favourite jeans, you adore that old t-shirt and blouse, and as for that eyeshadow palette? Well, you’ve been using it for years! Before you know it, you realise that your look hasn’t altered for a decade or so – which means it’s definitely time for a change. You don’t have to do a dramatic image overhaul. Sometimes, just incorporating a hint of the unexpected into your style can make a big difference. Here are some tips to help you.

Accessorise with a scarf

The humble scarf has the ability to transform an outfit. Tie it around your neck to make your favourite blouse look instantly retro-cool. Wrap it around your head as a great alternative to a hat. They’re even good for tying around your wrist as a fabric bracelet. Try layering two to create added interest.

Get your lash on

Not a fan of mascara? Try using some false eyelashes instead. For a sixties vibe, go for thick, black lashes; or if you’d prefer a more subtle look, choose dark brown, thinner lashes. A good pair of false eyelashes completely open up the eyes, creating much more drama and sex-appeal.

Change your jewellery

Do you normally stick with delicate silver jewellery? If so, go for something bold and ethnic-inspired; such as a leather choker or fabric pendant. Alternatively, if you normally wear big statement pieces, try something petite and pretty for a change, or even some antique jewellery!

Get textural with your nails

Nail polish turns your hands into instant focal points. Rather than settling for just a pop of colour, choose some nail polish with texture, such as a glittery or crackle finish. If you’re feeling artistic, stick some cute nail stickers on too.

Go for a different cut (of jeans)

If you live in your skinny jeans, now might be the time to switch them up for something different. Try a slouchy boyfriend cut or a 70s flare. They’re ultra on-trend and breathe instant life into your wardrobe. You can also experiment with colour too – for example, if you usually stick to pale denim, go for navy blue or black.

Change your fragrance

If you’ve been wearing the same scent for years, now is the time to try a new one. Choose something that’s totally different to your usual fragrance. If you normally go for a floral scent, try out something fruity or musky. Masculine fragrances are also ideal – not to mention distinctive. Sauvage perfume is a great example.

Invest in new lip colour

Okay, so beige or nude lipstick feels nice and safe, and it’s suitable for work – hooray! But now might be the time to choose a few others shades too. A deep ruby red is perfect for going out in the evening, or if you want to get in a springtime mood, choose a burnt orange or pillar-box red.

Get experimental! You can have a lot of fun playing around with your look – and often, you’ll find long-forgotten clothing or cosmetics in your wardrobe, just waiting to be rediscovered. Get experimental and enjoy.

So for today's post, I have finally been able to give first impressions on two of the Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquers. This product comes in a great range of colours, in which I picked up Luna and Stellar.

"The intense colour of a lipstick with a smooth lacquer shine? Impossible, right? Wrong! New Apocalips* Lip Lacquer combines the best of both worlds with its ground-breaking formula - a luscious liquid packed with pure colour pigments for rich colour, phenomenal shine and supreme comfort that lasts all day. The lip lacquer formula gives your lips colour so strong and bold that your pout is bound to make an impact!"

These liquid lip colours have some of the greatest pigmentation, with only one swipe provides an opaque colour with a glossy finish instantly. The product is creamy and the foam applicator makes it easy to apply smoothly and evenly on the lips. They are very easy to apply, the doe foot applicator allows the lacquer formula to glide on easily and smoothly, also allowing you to be more accurate and precise when applying to the lips. I also find these very long lasting, even after eating or drinking, which is a definite bonus as I don't find myself having to keep applying the product.

Luna is a beautiful nude like warm true peach shade which is brightening and warming, which adds such a subtle hint of colour to the lips, a definite everyday sort of colour. It’s really a lovely peachy-nude shade that would be flattering on a lot of skin tones. It’s also completely non-sticky and doesn’t smell weirdly or perfumed like many lipsticks and glosses.

Stellar is probably my favourite out of the two shades. An absolutely stunning bold coral red colour, that looks absolutely gorgeous on the lips. For me, its more of an evening lip colour, as I'm afraid I wouldn't be brave enough to pull it off as an everyday sort of look. A definite must have if you're out to make a statement!

Swatches; Stellar and Luna

Have you tried out the Rimmel Apocalips? What do you think of these? Would you give them a try? What are you favourite shades?
