rimmel mascara review: glam eyes vs. sexy curves

i decided to try out new mascaras
i saw a video where michelle phan went thru a drug store
she walked by the rimmel section and mentioned
that she really liked sexy curves
i saw another video from pixiwoo
(i forgot which sister did the video, i honestly don't know
their names i think one is nik?) and she was
doing a comparison video among different
drug store mascaras...among them she said that
sexy curves was actually one of the best ones
she had picked up...so that's why i picked up
these 2 mascaras during this buy 1 get 1
rimmel sale at cvs a few months back

i wanted to review these after really giving them a shot
because sometimes i start to like things after a while
of using them, especially mascaras. i find that
they work better after they dry up a bit.

packaging
rimmel always has really cute packaging
i really like the glam eyes packaging
it's really cute with the black and pink
especially the criss cross pattern on the handle
i'm not really liking the sexy curves packaging
i think its kind of unnecessary how its so shiny
yea...thats kind of ugly

this is the wand on glam eyes
it's different from most mascaras
i know the quality isn't that great, i couldn't get my camera to focus
but if u can see, there are 4 strips of bristles as opposed to
the traditional wand where the bristles hug all around the wand
it doesn't really bother me...the only only thing is during application
u need to make sure that when u start at the root of ur lashes
u got up rolling up bc usually u can just sweep the wand
straight up with other mascaras
they are rubber bristles, i know some ppl find those
to be kind of spikey on the eyes, but i like it
being that there's 4 strips, 2 are the same, same with the other 2
2 strips are short stiff rubber bristles
and 2 are longer and more bendable

the top brush is the glam eyes.
it didn't come bent like that, that happened by accident
this is one of the cons actually. the wand is very flimsy.
it just got bent by putting it back in the tube bc its so weak.

the bottom one is obv the sexy curves.
rimmel actually took the spherical shape from that givenchy
mascara, idk wat the name is and telescopic from loreal.
only wat rimmel did was have 3 balls instead of the 1 like
wat givenchy and loreal has. they're advertisements
say that this will add 3x the volume, but i rly dont
see wat the difference is if theres 1 or 3 or even 5 bumps lol

enough rambling about packaging..here's wat it looks like on...
without mascara and liner (yuck lol)

glam eyes
not rly volumizing but it is really thickening
which i'd rather have than length (if not both)
does a really good job at separating tho

sexy curves
this is just the opposite of glam eyes
not really thickening, more lengthening

so i mean...what it really comes down to is your
own personal preference. id rather the glam eyes over
the sexy curves, just because it is lengthening, not as much
as the sexy curves but i do like that its much more thickening.

other than that..they do hold a curl (i've never had a problem
with that, but it does last). they don't flake and it lasts throughout the day.
so they're both pretty good...i wouldn't repurchase any of these.
i really like my loreal voluminous so i think im going to stick to that one
until i find a better mascara. however i don't want these to
go to waste so i do like to layer them together.
