Hey Everyone!

I bought this mascara purely off the packaging, I didn't look up any reviews but I had previously bought different products from Rimmel London and loved it! Before purchasing I searched everywhere on the packaging for "waterproof", it wasn't written anywhere but nonetheless I decided to give it a try.




Trying it at first, I was impressed. I loved the brush, it was small, great for getting your corner lashes and bottom lashes. It  gave my lashes a curl without the use of an eyelash curler (I usually curl my lashes before applying mascara but for the sake of testing I did not.) and it lengthens and separates.It reminds me of the Korean brand Fairydrops Scandal Queen Mascara brush.






I wore it for about 11 hours, during that time I noticed it was flaking, my curl dropped after 3 hours and it smudged. I was disappointed but I wasn't ready to give up on it just yet, I gave it another try using an eyelash curler and was disappointed once again :(. As for the claim of it improving the strength of your lashes, I personally don't see a difference. I am yet to find a mascara from the drugstore that is better than the Loreal Voluminous Million Lashes.


You can purchase this product at all major drugstores and discount retailers.

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Lacquer-Steel Grey

Claim: Professional Long lasting nail polish. Super durable chip resistant nail lacquer with Shine Release Complex.








Overall rating: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 5 out of 5
Price: $4.49 USD
Size/Weight: 0.45 oz


 Pros:


  • Opaque
  • Gives lasting shine
  • Chip resistant
  • Great brush
Cons:
  • Does not last up to 10 days
I want to start off this review by saying this is one of the best drugstore nail polishes I have ever owned. The first time applying the product I was blown away, with just one quote it was true to color and there is no need for a top coat because as the product description claims it has "shine complex" which is true. The brush applicator is thicker than the standard brushes that come with nail polishes, I like this because it makes for a quicker application. 


On the packaging, it says "Up to 10 days", this is not true, it lasts about 5-7 days if so much without chipping. The name of this nail polish may be confusing, it says steel grey but it has a purple undertone which was the reason for me buying it in the first place.


Here is an example:

Overall a good quality nail polish, and I will be purchasing more from this collection. I hope this review was helpful to you! 


Thank you for reading.
