I bought these Rimmel goodies spur of the moment to replace products I knew I was running low on. The lipstick is beautiful, it smells gorgeous and fruity and applies softly - you can tell it's full of moisture and wont damage your lips. Also, it doesn't leave that vile stain when you remove it. The shade is a brave for me - I usually stick to the classic red lips, but I really like this colour - it's very summer and is definitely brightening up these cold winter days for me!

I really like the shine to this lipstick, it's almost glittery - but not in the '7-year-old girl lipgloss' way. It's very chic and sophisticated.

If I had to criticise this lipstick, I would say it doesn't live up to it's name of 'lasting colour' as well as I'd like. Although it doesn't rub off on glasses, cutlery, etc. it fades after 4 or 5 hours with literally no remnants of any lipstick left. So, just remember to keep topping up! Also, if you're very pale, I'd say this would be a colour to avoid - it has the potential to make you look ill and drawn out if applied against the wrong skin tone.Overall, I'd give it an 8/10 and would definitely recommend you try it out. 

Although I loved the design of this, I was a bit sceptical about the Lash Accelerator when I saw the brush - it seemed flimsy and like it wouldn't be able to supply the full and thick lashes I like to have. I was pleasantly surprised.

Although thin and little, it separates the lashes beautifully and extends them all separately, pretty much guaranteed lump-free lashes!

The mascara is dark and an even consistency, it doesn't flake off and cover your under eyes with the dreaded black flecks, and it doesn't rub off against your lids. Also, the lasting power is amazing. Your lashes look full and long all day/night with no need to top up and no eyelash drooping, fairly waterproof, yet can still be removed pretty efficiently. I love this mascara, it'll be staying in my make-up bag for the foreseeable future! 9/10.
