Mascaras are a beauty product that I didn't take seriously until about November of last year, when I bought my first one. Thankfully, I've been blessed with naturally long lashes that are decently voluminous, though I do like the look that mascara gives. But I prefer mascaras with voluminizing formulas because too much extra length makes my lashes look kinda creepy.
Now for my first ever mascara I bought: Rimmel Volume Accelerator.
At that point in time, I was obsessed with Rimmel products and so, after doing a bit of research and confirming that this mascara did get quite a lot of good reviews, I decided to go for it. It costs about $9 at my local CVS.
The packaging is sleek and pretty, but it is prone to fingerprinting, especially on the cap. It also comes with Rimmel's signature crown on the top.
This mascara claims to make your lashes 10x fuller. I don't know about 10x but while it does voluminize your lashes well, it takes 3-4 coats to get there. It also lengthens my lashes a decent amount as well.
The brush is flat on one side and then curves on the other. The bristles gradually get larger on the curving side. This helps makes your outer lashes thicker and longer which gives the appearance of wider, larger eyes.
It's halfway between a wet and dry mascara. The formulation is great, but the fact that you have to put on so many coats makes it feel heavy on my lashes. And when I wear it, you can definitely tell I'm wearing mascara. No natural looking lashes there.
Overall, Rimmel's Volume Acclerator is a decent mascara that does give volume and length. It may be more suitable for those of you with short, light colored lashes.
