Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara 001 Black

                                       

I bought this Rimmel London Sexy Curves Mascara because my old mascara (Natural Collection if you're wondering) was well over its three month use by date. I have bought make-up from Rimmel before -I love their Kohl eye liner pencils, so I know that they can be trusted.
I find this mascara quite a lot heavier and more gloopy than my last mascara and I'd say it takes a quite a few coats to get it to my preferred length of lashes. I also found that its *really* flaky!  There were specks of mascara all over my face about a few minutes before I took this photo, I had to wipe it all off and it's still not perfect now!
The packaging is eye catching, and perfectly sized to fit into my over flowing make-up bag. It's more purpley 'in real life' than it appears in the photos and feels surprisingly light. I'm not keen on the wand/head of it though, I wouldn't say it does anything to the product and is a bit too small, which I guess won't help with adding length and volume to my eyelashes.
Overall, this is almost a good product, but definitely NOT worth the £9 or something like that, that I paid for it!
