Rimmel | Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara Review

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara* was sent for me to try out before it's release in February. I've never been a big lover of Rimmel mascaras, their last few releases have been dissapointing, but I kept an open mind and gave this a go. 


This is another member of the Lash Accelerator family, with its sleek yellow chrome and black packaging. The lid for this mascara shuts with a satisfying click, which means air won't get into the mascara easily, hopefully making it last longer!


The formula contains a 'grow lash complex' and fibres which claim to help to make your eyelashes look longer whilst actually making them longer! It isn't too dry or too wet, it sits nicely in the middle. I've never used a mascara with fibres before, so I was interested to see what a difference it would make. 


The mascara wand is a long, slim spiky plastic brush which combs through lashes and separates them (no spider lashes, hooray!). 


Before mascara! 


Uncurled lashes with Lash Accelerator Endless. 

My lashes are quite long already, but this mascara just makes them even longer! If you have shorter lashes I think you'll definitely see more of a difference. Another thing about this mascara is that its excellent at defining  your lashes. It does give a bit of volume as well, but its mostly all about the length!

As a lover of volumizing formulas, I was surprised at how much I liked this mascara! I'm not sure about the growth claims just yet. I've can't tell if it makes any difference to the length of my lashes as I've only been using it for a week, but I'll update you on any noticeable lash growth!

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara will be available to buy from 20th February priced at £7.99

Too Faced Mascara and Liquid Liner

Hello all!

This week, Debenhams are having an online sale, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out there were a lot of Too Faced products in the sale! I've loved Too Face for a long time, haven't tried a lot of their products, but what I do have I love, and I adore their super girly packaging!



I bought two things, firstly a favourite of mine, Too Faced Lash Injection Mascara in Black. I haven't owned this in so long, simply because I was unwilling to pay £16.50 for a mascara! But, on sale at £8.25, I was having it. Its the biggest, best mascara I've ever owned, and it makes my lashes huge! Its very volumising and plumping, and gives lashes a good bit of length too.

Secondly, I got Too Faced Metal-Eyed Liquid Liner in Plum Crazy for £7.00. I'm normally not a fan of coloured eyeliner. I'll maybe put a pop of colour on my lower lashline now and again, but something made me want to try something new, and I'm so glad I did! Crazy Plum is a beautiful bright purple metallic liner, with pink shimmer. I'll be wearing it on nights out when I'm feeling brave. I do love my black cat eye liner, but Plum Crazy is definitely a winner!

Rimmel Scandal Eyes 'Show Off' Mascara.

Hello everyone! Another purchase from my recent shopping trip, heres my review of Rimmel Scandal Eyes 'Show Off' Mascara - £4.99 on offer from Boots and Superdrug.

After my last (less than kind) review of the original Scandal Eyes mascara, I was wary of trying their new offering. Nevertheless,I purchased the new 'Show Off' mascara on offer at £4.99, (will normally be £8.99) hoping it would be a bit better, and was pleasantly surprised!


The interesting thing about the mascara is the brush - the flat part of the brush is designed to plump lashes, and the ball tip is designed to lift and define! Overall, I'd say using the ball part o the brush all over is a bit tricky, but its nice for getting into the corners of your lashes, like the original Givenchy ball brush!

Its definitely a good mascara, it gives lashes a good amount of volume and length. Nothing too extreme or amazing, but good enough for me to be satisfied! Unlike the original Scandal Eyes mascara, the formulation isn't too wet and the brush is plastic instead of bristles. The packaging is also very pretty, the purpley pink definitely appeals to me!

I'd say this mascara is a good staple product, nothing amazing, but definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something new!

Hope you enjoyed this post, lots more coming soon! xx

Rimmel Scandal Eyes Mascara Review.

After seeing a few mixed reviews, I picked this up in ASDA a few weeks ago since it was on offer at £4.98.

I've been looking for a replacement for my 'Maybelline Colossal Lash' mascara, its my all time favourite but unfortunately I'm giving it up as Maybelline are owned by L'oreal. I am aware that Rimmel still do on occassion test on animals, however they are very apologetic about this and I believe they are working towards becoming a cruelty free brand.

Anyway! The first thing you'll notice about the product is the bright orange packaging, not to everyones taste but it certainly appealed to me. The second thing you'll notice is the huge brush - its massive!


I expected more from this product. There was so much hype around it and it sold out everywhere the first few weeks after it launched, that when I finally tried it I was dissapointed. Its gloopy, theres far too much product left on the wand, and (I thought I'd never say this!) the wand is just too big. Its hard to work with and you end up with mascara all over your eyelids. It does lengthen and volumise to a certain extent, but its nothing amazing.

I might change my mind once this dries up a bit, I always prefer mascara after its been open and used for a few weeks. Overall, its nothing spectacular and I don't think I'll be buying it again.

If there are any products you'd like me to review, just leave a comment and let me know! x
