Rimmel Volume Shake Mascara*





I love trying out new products, and I was kindly sent the new mascara from Rimmel London to try out and share my thoughts on. At £6.99, Rimmel states that this mascara has breakthrough shaker technology, has clump free volume, and stays fresh. I have never used a mascara with this technology before, but I like the idea of it, as it replenishes the formula that give volume to your lashes. 

This didn't flake on me or slowly disparate throughout the day and gave me full lashes without any clumps. For me personally, it didn't do much to lengthen my lashes, but I was happy that the mascara did as said on the tube as it really did add volume to my lashes. I also liked how black the formula was and it stayed this way as the day progressed with only a little fall out.

Rimmel The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks








I have always been a huge fan of Rimmel London's lipsticks, they never disappoint me, They are highly pigmented, have a wide selection of different ranges, tons of beautiful shades, and they always smell so good! 

I was lucky enough to receive all nine shades of their new range; 'The Only 1 Matte'. As is quite clear, they are a matte formula but were not drying on my lips at all, and the colour lasted all day, only occasionally having to re apply the lipstick after eating or drinking. 

All shades are rich in pigment and colour and I believe there is a shade available to suit everyone. It is very difficult to find a matte lipstick that is comfortable to wear or gives you the confidence that it will stay in tact without drying out your lips but after wearing each shade I was pleasantly surprised with each one in the range. The slightly darker shades I definitely did have to re apply after food or drink but that was expected and they still stayed just as vibrant throughout the day. My personal favourites are the brown and pink nude shades as I love wearing these at this time of the year. 

The packaging I like, I could easily distinguish these lipsticks as being Rimmel, and the slanted bullet makes for easy application. I can definitely see myself wearing every single shade from this collection, but the one I have been particularly loving is '700 Trendsetter', I think it is a great dupe for shades such as Velvet Teddy from Mac. If you go out and purchase one for £6.99 use the hashtag #liplibrary' to share your thoughts! Thanks again to Rimmel!

Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded





 Rimmel London have recently introduced a few new products, with their original scandaleyes mascara getting a new and improved formula, and two eyeliners that are suitable for whatever look you prefer. 

I have to admit, I have not tried the original mascara, therefore I am unable to compare it to this new one, however I know how beloved that mascara was and so I was very excited to try this out, considering it is a new formula. The scandaleyes reloaded mascara is described as providing 'dangerously bold' and 'lethally full lashes' a bold statement itself, coating every single lash, clump free for up to 24 hours. Now I have never worn a mascara for any longer than 18 hours, but when it came to removing this mascara at the end of the day, it was still very much in tact, with next to no fall down, and still as black as ever. I can confirm that my lashes were coated evenly, the thick and full wand extra useful for creating equally thick and full lashes with no clumps at all. The mascara comes in two version; black and extreme black and both are really easy to remove despite their long staying power. Additionally, the design and packaging of these is great, I love the colours as they have a very Halloween feel about them, and thus I have been loving using them this month! 

The eyeliners, I have to admit, I have found a little more difficult to use. The one on the left in the above image is the 'Thick and Thin' eyeliner, a 3D slanted felt tip so you can choose to draw either a thick or thin line. I always prefer a thin line when doing my eyeliner, and so this product is not ideal for me, the idea itself is really cool, and unfortunately when I tried to use it to create a thin line I found it a challenge and extremely hard to use, however I did like how black and intense the product was. The liner on the right in the above image is
 the 'Precision Micro' and it is much more suited to me as it has a super thin felt tip so I was able to draw a precise line and again this one was also very black. When I tried out both, they had great staying power and had not budged all day. 

Rimmel Scandaleyes Reloaded Mascaras Black and Extreme Black: £6.99
