seventeen falsiefeye mascara

When having a makeup clear out and starting new mascaras, I found the seventeen Falsifeye false lash effect mascara somewhere in my stash, which I've obviously picked up and then completely forgotten about. Seventeen is an affordable make up brand but I still think the products aren't cheap quality and would definitely recommend you check them out if you haven't already.

Firstly, I accidentally picked mine up in the shade brown/black, however now I prefer it and find it much less harsh on my eyes, so happy accident. The packaging itself is a standard mascara tube but solid and pink, like the rimmel scandal eyes collection, and you get a standard 12ml of product. On the packaging it says it will "falsifeye your lashses from root to tip for a false lash look that lasts all day. The oversized brush builds corner to corner volume for a full set a fabulous lashes".  I'll start with the brush its big and chunky and easy to apply, however the bristles appear unevenly spread and pointing in different directions which I'm not sure if I've just damaged mine or if this is how they're meant to be. Though to my surprise it doesn't apply clumpy at all and completely separates the lashes! It does add volume and lasts all day without crumbling! Although I don't want to be negative but as a mascara it doesn't wow me, it does it's job its defines my lashes and lengthens them, but I wouldn't say it lives up to its false lash effect, though if you really wanted that effect I don't see why you wouldn't bother wearing false lashes! Overall, it's not a bad mascara it's does it's job perfectly fine and fits the bill for a good mascara, I'm just not completely blown away by it.

rimmel scandal eyes retro glam mascara

About a month ago, I wrote a post about Rimmel's Scandal Eyes mascara which I do actually like. Rimmel have adapted the original and keep releasing different versions with a different selling point but sticking to the thick tube. This means it is still in same shape tube but instead gives a different look.

In the retro glam mascara, you get 12ml which is slightly more than normal I'd say, it's black and white packaging certainly gives it a retro look as well. However the mascara itself I find that some days when I apply it the curved brushes manages to get all more lashes and lengthen them but there's a fine line between looking good and applying too much. This means that with this mascara I find it easy to cross that boundary and apply too much and land up with clumpy lashes (and when your me judging my day by how well my eyelashes look it means I've had a lot of bad days recently!).

I really do want to like this mascara, but I just can't get it to work for me and I much prefer the original but if I can I would like to try the other versions too.

Rimmel seem to keep bringing out different versions of their Scandal Eyes mascara at the minute but here's my thoughts on their original. I'm lucky that I have quite long lashes, but for me mascara is the most important part of getting ready, I hardly every wear false lashes which means I rely on mascara to do the job for me.

Firstly, it's in bright orange packaging, with faint glittery bits if you look really closely, it's a bold colour, probably wouldn't be my first choice but it does make it stand out in my basket, meaning it gets its fair share of use. Also it's on the big size for a mascara, as it contains 12ml of product. On the packaging Rimmel's description says "no lash can escape! Scandalous volume, no clumps!". For a mascara no clumps is pretty big claim, so I was intrigued.

The big brush means it collects collects lots of product making it quick, easy and smooth to apply and immediately adds volume to my lashes. Though less is definitely more as I have to be careful not apply too much as it does tend to clump. however I only use it lightly on my bottom lashes but that's just a personal choice, I don't like them being too long and spidery. Also it lasts a whole day, without crumbling under my eyes or giving me a panda look, and isn't too stubborn to take off at night.

Overall, I'd say this is a good mascara, it's cheep and adds volume and length but doesn't always define each lash. Next time I'd like to try another version of Rimmel's Scandal Eye's mascaras.
