Rimmel Volume Flash X10 Mascara ~ Yay Or Nay // BeautieCollected

Earlier this month I went out and bought a couple bits and bobs to try out, one of those being this Rimmel Volume Flash X10 mascara. I'm a big fan of finding cheap products that do wonders, especially with mascara as I find it dries up before you can really use it all! With this in mind, I went out and bought a cheap mascara that I thought I'd give a go and see how it went!


This mascara retails for £5.99 in Boots, you can also purchase it in "Extreme Black" "Black" "Black Brown" and "Waterproof Black" - straight off the bat this mascara is catering for many different types of people, this will cause it to gain more attention. 


First Impression: I'm usually that person that would open the mascara, have a little look at the wand, then not use it till the next day or the day after that! This time, I decided I would open it only when I was going to use it, so essentially the product inside didn't start to dry up or change from what it was. The first time I used it, I absolutely loved it! It separated my lashes perfectly, it made them look extremely long, however it didn't make my lashes as voluminous as I expected it to, however there was enough definition there for me to be satisfied regardless.


The want itself isn't too large, in fact it's quite petite to say it's a mascara that should give a voluminous effect. The smaller wand helps you coat every lash as you want it and to precisely coat your lashes, rather than going and throwing it on and hoping for the best!


The disappointing aspect to this mascara is that a few days after opening the product, I revisited it as I knew I loved it the first time round. Since I opened it, I assume it must be due to having the brief opportunity to dry up and it just became extremely clumpy and hard to work with. Every time I would try remove a clump, an even bigger one would form and it just became uncontrollable and a right royal pain!

I attempted to use it again and the same situation occured! I personally am not a fan of the clumpy look, I like full looking lashes, but not clumpy looking ones! Because of this, I have to say that this product is a NAY for me! If it stayed in the state it was in when I first used it, then it would definitely be a yay...but not this time unfortunately!

Are there any products you'd like to see me review? Let me know in a comment or a tweet!

Take Care!
