Review - Rimmel Retro Glam Mascara

Rimmel have some awesome products in their range at the moment, from their lipsticks to their foundations, everything is on point and makes up a large part of my collection.

When Retro Glam mascara came out, I initially ignored it as I was in love with Benefit They're Real and Maybelline Falsies, but after seeing reviews I ended up caving, especially when it was on offer.

Advertised as giving full 60's style lashes that are fuller, thicker and fanned out without the need for false lashes, a bold claim for a mascara. The brush is HUGE! It has a curved design which is meant to help curve out the lases to make ten appear fuller and fanned out. I tend to find the brush quite messy but I've slowly got used to it.

The formula is quite a wet formula but its goes one think and black, building up quickly to create full lashes - I don't know about fanned out but they are very full looking. Its one of my favourite mascaras, it goes on and stays on.

Its one that has lasted me a long time, plus I always seem to go back to it when I need something fuller without the price tag. Currently on 3 for 2 in Boots, Rimmel Retro Glam is £6.99 and well worth it as it is a total bargain!

17 Blowout Mascara

Afternoon lovelies.

I've gone through a lot of products at the moment and needed a new mascara. So when I popped into Boots to have a look at what was on offer, 17 had a new mascara.

Blow Out mascara claims to offer x12 volume, with a thickening, conditioning formula enriched with Vitamin E & Argan oil. Now I've heard of Argan oil for your hair but never for your eyelashes?!

I must say I was disappointed with this product. I thought that with the big brush, this would actually give my stubby lashes a bit of a boost...sadly not. Instead I was left looking that I had one coat of average mascara, getting no definition or difference.

I picked it up in brown/black for a more natural look, but it's less natural and more naked. To help, I've been layering this underneath my nearly dead Benefit Badgal to give it a boost, and it seems to be working but I won't pick this up again.

If you've had a different experience I would love to know, or have you had th same problem?
