Firstly the packaging caught my eye when I saw it at the make up section at my local supermarket. I know, that's pretty lame that a sleek purple Mascara tube caught my eye. I was so close to buying it but I decided not to as I often find mascaras don't live up to my expectations and I end up wasting my money. But after seeing the review I thought I'd just give it a go.
Basically, I was pleasantly surprised. Although in my personal opinion it's not as good as my favourite Mascara of all time (Maybelline Sky High Curves), it was pretty good and came quite close! I found it that it applied easily without any clumps, which I always like in a Mascara... clumpy mascara is such a turn off!
I like the wand, but at first I couldn't see it working for me... but after trying this mascara I found the wand works rather well. It coated my lashes nicely and is easily buildable. The wand applied just the right amount of product without drenching my lashes but at the same time it didn't apply too little. Some mascaras I've bought in the past I found they applied a little sticky, and when that happens they aren't the easiest to build up, but I didn't experience that with this mascara.
Overall I am happy with my purchase and the price I paid. I bought the mascara on eBay from a make up shop that sell brand new make up at discounted prices. I paid about £4 for this mascara, but I believe in shops it's about £7.99. You can buy it from shops like Boots, Superdrug and Tescos etc.
Here is a before photo of my lashes (no make up on at all):
Here is an after photo with Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara applied to my upper and lower lashes:
Just to compare the two, I have already bought the Waterproof version (comes in an Aqua coloured tube)... I will review that soon.
