Like I said in the first post I made, I get free stuff for my review all the time! (which is partly why I created this blog, anyway) So, for this post I’m going to talk about the new Retro Glam Mascara from Rimmel London (which is out in stores November 2013 – so, now!) that I got from Influenster.
Some of you may know already, but I have bone straight eyelashes. They seriously have no curl to them what so ever. And, a lot of them are blonde!
Usually I just use my normal mascara and use a lash curler and pray they stay (which they never do, by the way!)… And if I really want a bold look, I actually have to take my hair dryer to my curler, heat it up, hope that I don’t burn my face and try to curl my lashes that way … Which works for awhile, but after a couple hours, my lashes are back to being straight.
That being said.. I go into any mascara thinking “this will never work,” but I think this Retro Glam stuff might be a little different.
For starters, the brush is huge! Which I do like, but I did find myself getting it all over my face, lol, because I’m not used to having such a big brush.
So, I decided I wasn’t going to curl my lashes and I tried out this bad boy… I’m kind of impressed with the fact that it made my lashes stand up, and it was dark enough that it covered up those blonde lashes I got cursed with.
What I did notice though, is that it seems to make my lashes stick together a bit, but I’m not sure if that’s because I didn’t use a lash primer or because my lashes are so straight or if it’s just because it’s such a huge brush..
The finished product!
All in all, I really do like this mascara .. It makes my lashes feel fuller, but I think that I definitely need practice on using such a big brush!
