Review: Rimmel Max Volume Flash Mascara


I haven’t had this mascara long but I love it! It’s the best mascara i’ve ever tried and beats Benefit Bad Gal Lash by far.

What I Love About It:
•It separates your lashes and there are no clumps.
•It claims to give 14x volume – it definitely gives me a lot more volume than any other mascaras i’ve tried (maybe not 14x though!)
•It doesn’t smudge or run – a lot of drugstore mascaras do this but this one doesn’t.
•The price - £4.99 and worth every penny.
•The packaging – I love the colour and the wand is really good too.
•The formulation – it is quite runny which is good as it builds up the volume and makes it easy to apply.

I would recommend this mascara to everyone and would definitely buy it again! It has everything a mascara needs to have without the high end price tag!

New Mascara


Today I picked up the Rimmel Max Volume Flash Mascara.
I’ve been needing a new mascara as my Benefit Bad Gal Lash is running out and I don’t think it’s worth it to pay £14.50 for a new one. I didn’t really go into Boots looking for a specific brand of mascara but as this one was on an offer and wasn’t too expensive I thought i’d give it a go. It cost me £4.99 from Boots but it’s £6.49 at full price.
I’ll be doing a review of it in a couple of days when i’ve tried it out properly but hopefully it will be a good alternative to the Benefit one.
If you’ve tried this mascara let me know what you thought of it or tell me what your favourite mascara is.
