A few months ago, my daughter, Lulu, recommended Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara
But I decided to look for a similar product by a different company to see if that might work better for me, and that's when I discovered Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara
After using the Rimmel Accelerator Endless Mascara for about two weeks, I could definitely tell that my lashes were longer! That's when I discovered that Rimmel also makes "plain" Lash Accelerator Serum
I picked mine up at Walmart for around $8. It comes in a tube with an odd little applicator that is a plastic grooved wand (for applying to lashes like mascara) with a tiny brush at the tip for applying along the lash line and to brows. It has absolutely no scent that I've noticed, and it only stings if you get it directly in your eye (which you should try not to do).
It says that you can apply it to lashes prior to mascara as long as you don't let it dry first. I've not tried this. The serum is a little on the thick side, and it's wet. I wouldn't be able to curl my lashes or use primer. Also, when the serum dries, if you apply it a little heavier in some areas of your lashes, it can be like dried glue - stretchy and sticky. It's not been a problem for me since I apply at night. I just make sure I comb through my lashes in the morning to remove any residue before I apply my primer and mascara.
I've been using the serum
Since I've found the plain growth serum, I haven't used the mascara as much because I don't want to deal with the smudging (but that is just my eyelash issues - you might not have that problem). But I do occasionally use it when I'm just going to be at home because it's easier to stop and remove a few smudges throughout the day - and then my lashes get a double dose of growth serum for that day.
I've tried a few Rimmel products lately, and I have to say that I've been impressed with most of them (I'll be doing reviews!). I'm not usually much of a drugstore makeup user - but I can see that improvements have definitely been made. Now if I could just find Rimmel products more easily in my area! I can find a few at Kroger, Walgreens, Meijer, and Walmart (I try not to go there unless I absolutely have to!), but it's never all of the products or all of the shades. We have an Ulta, but honestly, it's a pain, too. The salespeople always act so rude (not sure why, it's a freaking Ulta), the checkout area is set up so weird, and there's always a back-up. Plus if there is a gift with purchase, you almost always have to remind the salesperson at checkout or you won't get it.
Anyway, if you're looking for a lash or brow growth product, I definitely recommend Rimmel Lash Accelerator Serum
Have you tried a drugstore lash growth serum?
Running to target to get this asap!
ReplyDeleteI hope your Target has it! I had problems finding Rimmel products locally, and I live in a fairly large suburban area. I had to hit the dreaded Walmart in order to get this product, LOL! Hope you like it and have as much luck with it as I did!
