Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara

I rarely leave the house without wearing mascara, so it's important for me to find one that I like and stays put all day. I tend not to be as adventurous with mascara and stick to what I know I like. But it's good to experiment every so often and when Rimmel released their latest mascara I knew I had to give it a try.

Scandaleyes Retro Glam is Rimmel's latest release from their Scandaleyes collection. This mascara has an hourglass brush applicator that promises a wide-eyed look by plumping and fanning out the lashes. All this without any clumps in one stroke! I just had to test it.

When it comes to mascara, I find it hard not to compare them with Maybelline's Colossal Volum' Express mascara as it's my holy grail mascara and my ultimate favourite. Retro Glam is definitely brilliant at fanning out the lashes but the overall look isn't as bold as Colossal Volum' Express. Also, ignore their no clumps promise as I find its a little clumpy. Although its more subtle, I really like it and can't help but flutter my lashes whenever I'm wearing it. It's pretty and, with a bit of eye-liner, I think it could create a really powerful eye look. The staying power is great and almost every lash is coated in just one stroke. The packaging has that 60's vibe too which I just love.

Overall, another impressive product from Rimmel. They just aren't letting me down at the moment and I really hope that their amazing-ness continues. Worth a try if your a mascara fanatic.
