Recently, I found myself running out of my beloved "Plush Lash" Mascara (by MAC Cosmetics). Although "Plush Lash" will always have my heart, I am not necessarily currently in the position to be spending $12 + on a mascara. And so, I took the bus downtown to the local drugstore and began my search for a suitable (and comparable?) mascara to try out in the mean time.
There were two things that I was looking for specifically in the beginning of my search: 1. I wanted a volumizing mascara, and 2. I was looking for cheap! These two criteria brought my attention to Rimmels "Glam Eyes" Mascara. The product claimed to increase lashes volume by up to 70% and was on sale for a mere $5.99, not to mention the packaging is abesolutely adorable :)
Anyways, I decided to give the mascara a try. The first time I applied it, I was a bit skeptical about the flimsy looking plastic "brush", yet as I began to coat my lashes I loved the way it looked. Although I'd say this mascara does more lengthening than volumizing, one can achieve both by simply carefully adding more coats of the product (dont let it clump though!). I got the shade "Extreme Black", and the pigmentation lived up to its name. My lashes looked deliciously dark, just the way I like em'.
I have been using the mascara everyday since my purchase, and although I do not consider it my holy grail in the slightest, Rimmel's "Glam Eyes" Mascara is definetly usable, even likeable, for a cheap and college student/beauty queen approved cosmetic product!
Final Rating (out of 5): ****
HAPPY SHOPPING ;)
