Rimmel Glam Eyes Day 2 Night Mascara

Rimmel has recently introduced their own flavor of a 2 in 1 mascara, with which you can create two dramatically different lash looks with one bottle of mascara. It's all in the cap, It's actually a double cap, one is the length cap, and the other is the volume cap. It's available in two different shades 001 Black and 003 Extreme Black. And is available at almost any retailer that sells make-up.



Rimmel advertises the two different looks as "Day" and "Night", the length being for the day, and the volume for the night. I was excited for this product because sometimes, I would like length over volume and vice versa, but wouldn't always like to use a different mascara.

Rimmel has advertised that the Length brush makes your lashes 75% longer. The mascara does seem to make my lashes appear longer, I wouldn't say that they are 75%. However the outcome is very satisfactory.




Rimmel says that the Volume brush thickens your lashes up to 12 times their normal thickness. After a few coats of the mascara, I found my lashes to be thickened to a satisfactory level, but not 12 times their normal thickness.

I have found myself using the volume cap more then the length cap when I use this mascara. It all really depends on what exact look you are looking for.

It is fairly inexpensive ranging anywhere from $6-8 depending on where you purchase it at. I would say it's a good buy if you are looking to simplify your daily routine of mascara.
