W7 Absolute Lashes Mascara Review


You know when you buy a new product but still keep reaching for the old empty one because its just better? Well that is this mascara, the Rimmel Lash Accelerator was a hard act to follow if I'm honest but still my opinion on this mascara isn't great. I'd been looking at W7's Naked dupe palettes on their website after I saw one in peacocks and was rather intrigued to see such an obvious benefit dupe on their homepage, so when I next saw it in store I knew I had to pick it up, at £4.50 I thought it was worth a try.
I had high hopes for it being a good dupe of Benefit's They're Real (which I am still yet to try) however this mascara has let me down.  The brush, whilst thin and perfect at separating the lashes so that each one is coated, I find it to be a little hard and scratchy if that makes sense? However it does well  It does add length and volume, however nothing special, its very average in this department. However it's main downfall is that as it dries, rather than smudging it has a tendency to sort of flake off. Which is very annoying as you can imagine. 
Overall this isn't one that I would recommend, so now I'm not sure whether to try the palettes, have you tried any products form W7? What do you think?

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara Review


My first impressions of this mascara have been amazing in all honesty! I got it free when I spent £10 on Rimmel products (I was trying out the Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation and buying a new eyeliner for my sister) so wasn't expecting too much from it, but its quite possibly a new favourite! I really love the packaging, the mix of black and neon and how sleek it is.
The brush is also excellent, much like the l'oreal telescopic one but with longer bristles, so probably better. The formula is also great and doesn't dry and crack, plus it holds a curl very well. It lasts the whole day without smudging but is quite easy to remove when necessary.  

I realise that no one wants to see my face this close up, but I gots to show off the amazing effects of this mascara.



Um, wow, right?
Also boo for my terrible quality phone photos and close ups.

But anyway, overall I'm really pleased with this mascara and it has knocked l'oreal telescopic of the top spot, I'll have to try Maybelline falsies again soon to see how they compare too since thats my second favourite.

Hope you found this useful...
