Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara

Hey guys! I'm going to give you my first impressions of the Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara.



I curled my lashes before applying the mascara. The top cap is supposed to give length and the bottom cap is supposed to give volume. It also claims to have no clumps.

As you can see from the photos the mascara was very clumpy. No matter how many times I brushed through my lashes, it kept clumping. It was also very very wet. I prefer mascaras to be not too wet, but not too dry. The extra step is just more of a hassle. I'd rather just do one coat of mascara and be done. It was too clumpy to wear out, but after I did this I applied a very small amount of the lengthening coat. It lasted pretty well. When I tried to wash off this mascara it wasn't a huge nightmare to get off, but it wasn't the easiest. Overall, I'm not impressed with this mascara and won't be using it any time soon.

How I Do Eyeliner

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't post last week. I had a massive dilemma. I won't go into too much detail but basically I just couldn't post. Anyway, on with the actual blog post.

Today I'm going to show you how I do my eyeliner. It's pretty simple and easy, and it is quick to apply. I didn't do any eyeshadow or fill in my eyebrows before doing this so you could see it better, but if I was doing this on a normal day, I would do that before hand.

Step 1.  After applying eyeshadow, do a line on your top lashes. Do this line as thick as you want.


Step 2. Make a little flick going from your bottom lash line outwards. Connect the end of that line with the line on your top lashes. Make the wing as long and as thick as you want.


Step 3. Fill in the wing.


Step 4. Tight line your upper lash line.


Step 5. Apply mascara


Done! Pretty easy isn't it? Don't worry if your eyeliner isn't perfect the first time, just keep practicing and it will look amazing in no time!

Thanks,

~lovelyandluscious xx
