how are you doing? hope everything's okay!
rimmel has never been a brand that appealed to me. i have had some rimmel products...and i really like glam'eyes mascara. and i used to have an eyeshadow duo too, which was nice. but not that nice, since i used it to create lip balms.
but i digress.
this is the product. i don't know why i keep buying so much mascara. well, no, i mean. i do know why. i use a lot of it and i it's the only thing i never leave the house without. so there you have it! i'm still using diorshow blackout waterproof, as well.
this is, overall, a very nice mascara. the brush is one of those silicone-rubber-elastic-flexible-flimsy kind of things, but the shape itself is far more interesting. (see above). it's like three givenchy phenomen'eyes/l'oreal telescopic explosion's in a row! i liked it. but i didn't love it. volume, check. length, yes. curls/curves? well no...! what the...? i liked it but i think the name is misleading. it doesn't really give my lashes any curl. keep in mind i don't use an eyelash curler. ever. (i'm a little afraid of them, they creep me out, and when i DO use it, it doesn't do much for my lashes...) maybe if you did use an eyelash curler this would be able to mantain the curl longer than other mascaras, but the way i see it, the name suggests that the product gives your lashes a curl for itself.
pros:
it's cheap
it gives quite some volume (if applied correctly)
it gives you lots of length
the brush is relatively easy to use
the wand doesn't come with excess product when you take it out of the tube (although you should always wipe off any excess, even if little)
it's available everywhere (i think)
doesn't flake
doesn't have a smell (at least my tube didn't!)
cons:
it doesn't curl my lashes AT ALL
it can be quite clumpy. so no pretty lash definition from this.
conclusion
in my opinion, this is a very good mascara. if you're looking for a lengthening mascara, this is one to try. if you're looking for a volumizing mascara, this might be the one for you. but this does not give your lashes any curl. and if there's one thing i hate is when brands specifically name their products one thing, and it's the total opposite. it's not like it's called the 'super mascara' and it happens not to give you any curl but still volumizes and lengthens. and you're bummed because it said it was super. super means different things to different people. but naming your product 'sexy curves' you know people are going to be pretty upset when it doesn't provide them with the one thing you said it did. so that's my biggest pet peeve about the product. but it is a good mascara! i just happen not to need as much length (nor volume for that matter) as i need curving, so that made me not want to buy any more rimmel mascara thinking they don't deliver what they advertise.
that was my review! do you own this mascara? do you like it? do you hate it? please let me know, i would love to read your comments.
