Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

"Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara with Grow Lash Complex"

Firstly,  I am a sucker for anything that is advertised claiming to make things grow longer, so when I saw the mascara advertised made your lashes look instantly (yes, instantly!) 80% longer and to 'promote natural lash growth for up to 117% longer looking lashes in 30 days' (yes, 30!) I was amazed, as obviously I wouldn't have spent over £100 over a few months for eyelash extensions, if all it was going to cost was £8.99.

After examining the size of the brush, I instantly thought "oh no", as for me the brush is not thick enough. I like something that is really going to get under my lashes, probably as wide as my lashes are long, to really drag and sweep them up.

Secondly, if you examine the wand closely, you will see that there is barely an ounce of product actually on the wand.

So, what did I think?

Well, in all honestly, in the last month I've had this product, I've used it maybe twice.

• I did not like the brush at all, so that instantly put me off using it. 
• As there was barely no product on the wand, I needed to apply about 8 coats, and I didn't feel like sitting there applying 8 coats, when my Lancome Hypnose was sitting there and only needs around 3 coats to give the wow factor. 
• I can't say whether it made my lashes grow 117% longer in 30 days as I haven't used it enough, and honestly I doubt you'd have any mascara left after 2 weeks because there is barely any product in there at all.
• My lashes did not look upto 80% longer instantly, they did not look longer at all, especially as I had used my eyelash curler and that already makes my lashes look longer because they are curled.

I can't really think of anything positive to say, not even the price, as £8.99 I thought was quite pricey, especially as it is a new product and they usually promote offers on brand new products. I actually think there was around £2 off when I purchased it, meaning that perhaps it would retail for around £11 normally, which is shocking!! 

However, I do know some people that do like to use a smaller brush so perhaps this is a better product for you, but for me the size of the brush is the first thing that makes or breaks a mascara for me.

Have you tried this? What do you think?
