Lash Accelerator Update: A Bit Impressed. .

Hey lovely ladies :)

Okay. I hold my hands up, I would be the first person to dismiss this mascara as stupid, totally useless, wouldn't work. But for some reason, I can't really admit to that. 

Last week, when washing my face I noticed that my outer corner eyelashes on one of my eyes (it's hard to explain which one, what's left to me is right to you!) were a bit short, shorter than usual. Which I have to admit is kind of why I picked up this mascara in the first place. Today I noticed that these eyelashes are now the same length and I am so so impressed. Have a look for yourself. . 

Before

Can you see how on the eye on the left (click to zoom) the lashes are a bit short? Have a look at the after shot

After

And a zoomed in shot, the red arrow shows how short my eyelashes were before

Photographic evidence! 

I do have to admit though I've been using this mascara as a base coat, and applying 17 Wild Curls on top, as I find it lengthens but doesn't give me the volume I like. When used after curling your lashes, I find Lash Accelerator is great for giving that 'fanned-out' look.

What do you think? I know I'm impressed.

Review: Rimmel Lash Accelerator

Hello lovely ladies

I bought this mascara yesterday because well, I'm not really sure because I'm not feeling it's claims. Let's have a look at what this bad boy promises. .

A mascara and lash treatment in one that promotes natural lash growth for beautifully long and remarkably strong lashes - naturally.
Works both instantly and over time. Our advanced Ultra-lengthening formula delivers upto 80% longer instantly Used daily over 30 days, our innovative Grow-Lash complex promotes natural lash growth to create lashes that appear fuller, lusher and up to 117% longer. Clinically Tested. Containing Grow-Lash Complex known to have looking lashes
3 superior lash enhancing benefits:
1. STRENGTHENS - Helps minimise lash loss
2. NOURISHES - Supports lashes to grow strong & long 
3. RENEWS - Helps repair & restore lashes 

Yeah, maybe. Who thinks of this crap? 117% longer in 30 days? 117?!

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara - £8.99 (currently £2 off in Superdrug)

  I will be using this for the next 30 days and we'll see if my lashes really are lengthened by 117%. I actually can't get over the 117%. It's so ridiculous. 

First Impressions
Not too bad a mascara, nice consistency, does lengthen but doesn't really add volume. Easily layers without clumping, easy to use on bottom lashes. Works well with 17 Wild Curls/L'oreal Voluminous (although I didn't use these in the picture below)


Would I recommend it? Not sure yet.
Would I repurchase? Nope. It's not THAT great and I like volume more than length 

Have you seen this mascara? Think you'll try it?
