REVIEW: RIMMEL VOLUME SHAKE MASCARA


If you haven't seen this new release from Rimmel where have you been? I've seen this mascara all over social media and i've even seen adverts on TV for it.

I've been using this for about a month now and thought i'd share my experience with it.

This is the Rimmel Volume Shake mascara and its a very new concept for mascara as inside is a patent-pending shaker which refreshes the volumising formula whenever it's needed. So you shake it to keep it fresh.

It's a clump free mascara and creates volume, and due to the shake technology lasts a really long time, so you won't have to throw it out because it's dried up.

I think the shake technology is a really good idea and I hate it when your mascara dries up and you know theres still loads left. I don't feel that this mascara really gives great volume and I think it's because you need an element of clump/dry mascara to get a really good volume. I like long and thick lashes and this is a much more natural lash. I think the texture is a little too watery for me and I would prefer a little bit of clump/thickness to the lash.

I know everyone is different and alot of people love a more natural less clumpy look when it comes to mascara but this just isn't for me. I will continue to use it as I don't think it's that bad but I wouldn't repurchase this.

KMS California Add Volume Spray

KMS California Add Volume Volumizing Spray *

I got this in my first Birchbox, I had never heard of KMS until recently so was really excited to try it out. My hair is very temperamental with products like this and can just go greasy but it doesn't with this. 

Its a spray get thats designed to thicken for intense fullness and its a heat protector. 

You apply it to towel dried hair and then blow dry! i've actually found this makes my hair dry quicker which I think is fab  :) And I can see my hair does feel thicker. I have been using this and Philip Kingsley Elasticizer and have noticed my hair is feeling at lot thicker. I've also started using other products like argan oils and have noticed my hairs looking more healthier. 

I used to literally shampoo and condition my hair but now I use so many products because they actually work. 
This is a great product and I've used it loads and still have about half a bottle left. i also got another really similar product in this months Birchbox so will try that one out too :)
