I actually did a review and trial of the
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara in March 2011 for my other blog and since I no
longer have that blog I thought I would post the review here, as my opinions of
it have not changed, plus it is a post on something other than a haul.
WEEK 2 – DAY 8 TO 14
WEEK 3 – DAY 15 TO 21
WEEK 4 – DAY 22 TO 30
OVERALL
RESULTS
This is an overall review of the product
and my experience during the 30 day trial.
REVIEW
I first heard about this mascara on
YouTube as a few Beauty Gurus were receiving them for free to test ahead of the
actual launch of the mascara, so when it became available in stores I had to
get one and trial it myself.
Rimmel
claims this is a “mascara and lash treatment in one that works both instantly, and
overtime. The advanced
ultra-lengthening formula instantly makes lashes appear up to 80% longer.
Over time, the unique Grow-Lash Complex
strengthens, nourishes and renews lashes to promote natural lash growth for up
to 117% longer looking lashes after 30 days.”
I bought mine in black and
you get 7ml of formula in the tube and the brush was a nice size and was a kind
of diamond shape. The formula was not messy and you couldn’t even feel it on
your lashes. It made your lashes look bolder and a bit longer, but that could
just have been the boldness of the black colour. It didn’t clump my lashes and
it separated them sufficiently.
So let’s see how I got on during the
trial.
30
DAY TRIAL
WEEK 1 – DAY 1 TO 7
I wasn’t expecting an amazing difference
in the first week, but the mascara did make my lashes appear longer, separated
and more voluminous, but obviously there was no change to my natural naked lashes
as of then.
During Week 2 I started to notice that
when I put the mascara on it made my lashes look kind of false, which means
they were very bold, which I quite liked. I did like the effect, but I can't
help thinking that my eyes looked a bit spidery. But I didn’t actually notice
any change in my natural lashes then, they just looked the same as they did
before I started the trial.
Not much happened this week. My lashes
looked great with the mascara on, but there were no changes to my natural
lashes. Although I had noticed that the mascara was starting to dry up and the
formula had started to go slightly clumpy!
As you can see from the pictures above
my natural lashes didn’t really look any different, but I still had the 'false
lash' effect with the mascara on. The mascara was getting quite dry so when I
finished the trial I threw it away!
Overall I didn't notice any significant
changes at all to my natural/naked lashes, they did look a touch longer but not
noticeably longer. Obviously I wasn't expecting miracles and to have four foot
lashes, but I expected a more noticeable change. The mascara did dry up after a
while. When the mascara is on your lashes it makes a difference, obviously, but
that is what other mascaras do anyway, from my experience this product was
nothing special.
I do not recommend it for its main
purpose, which is to grow your natural lashes, but I would recommend it as a
basic mascara. I don’t think it’s worth its original price of £8.99, therefore
I would not re-purchase it. I suppose if you did a longer trial there could be
more noticeable changes but it promises some sort of result after 30 days,
which it did not for me.
