Rimmel Review (Pt.1)- Eyes

Only recently did I notice that the majority of my products are Rimmel, and I now feel I have gained a wide'ish' experience of the brand and their mostly good, although occasionally bad, products. In this post and the next I will be reviewing 12 products and I hope this gives you insight to what an AMAZING brand Rimmel is because, believe me, I know how it feels to walk up to the Rimmel section of Boots and have NO CLUE WHATSOEVER which products are even worth the price tag :)
Oh look, now I've gone and written a really long introduction. Silly me. Oh well, lets get cracking!


Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal (Eyeliner)

This has to be my favourite eyeliner by far. It is a bit hard to see in the picture, (sorry,) but the actual pen part is very thick and so provides a really defined line. It is also super pigmented and super easy to put on, which is always a bonus for someone like me :P
Pros- Pigmentation
       - Good Price
       - Easy to use
Cons- Has to be sharpened frequently and can be          tricky to do so
Overall, I think this is a BRILLIANT product and deserves 4 and a half smilies :) :) :) :) :
Price- £3.99 (Boots)


Scandaleyes Mascara
Also in the scandaleyes range is this superb mascara which, although recently bought, I have been LOVING!!! Lashes look really volumised and pumped up so this is a great buy!
Pros- Volume
- Don't look fake
- Brings confidence
Cons- I honestly cannot think of any
Rating: :) :) :) :) : 
Price: £6.99 (Boots)
Glam'eyes Professional Liquid Liner
To be honest, there's not much I can say about this product as I'm really not a fan of liquid liners, they're fiddly, easy to mess up, and if they poke you in the eye it HUUURTS!!!
While I did use this product, I guess it was okay. It is my only liquid liner and maybe I will return to their eye-poking abode one day but for now, I think I'm fine
Pros- It was good for a liquid liner
       - Stayed on all day
Cons- Bendy wand
        - Made me cry
        - Tricky
       - I think I'd better stop, this could go on for a while
Rating: :) (Simply because it is a liquid liner)
Price: £5.29 (Boots)
Glam'eyes Quad Eyeshadow
I have only just got into eyeshadows really, as before I found them quite tedious and not something to be bothered with. This is one of my favourite eyeshadow thingys, which I received at Christmas. It comes with a helpful applicator and is PERFECT for a basic smokey eye.
Pros- Pigmentation
- Good colour (on this one)
Cons- Colours of the other quads don't look as good
-Doesn't last very long through the day
- Not enough for £6.99
Rating: :) :)
Price: £6.99 (Boots)
Eyeliner Pencils (Special Eyes and Soft Kohl)
Because of using my scandaleyes liner so much recently, I have kind of rejected these 2 liners.
The black magic special eyes liner is one which I used to use all the time but got annoyed with the constant sharpening demand. The denim blue soft Kohl liner I got for Christmas and have only used once since, maybe because it's blue and I tend to go more for black
Pros- Both good for pencil liners
       - Precision
Cons- Hard to put on
Rating: :) :)
Price: Special Eyes: Not sold anymore
          Soft Kohl: £2.99

Extra Super Lash Mascara
Last, but in no means least is one of my other favourtie mascaras and also one of which I think is quite underrated. The thing that I like about this mascara is the fact that  it gives a very natural, subtle look, (meaning I can wear it to school and not be noticed.)  It also, with more coats, gives great volume and builds lashes up very well indeed.
Pros- Flexibility
-Nice wand
-Volume
Cons- Might take a few coats to be as voluminous as you want it
Rating: :) :) :) :)
Price (with new packaging): £4.99 (Boots)
