Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara by Rimmel London

I'm not big on mascara.  In fact, I can't really wear it because of a disorder called Trichotillomania.  Look it up because I'm not explaining it.

Now, when I received this product from Influenster, I was really caught off guard.  Blush?  Sure.  Lipstick?  Of course!  Eye shadow?  Maybe.  Mascara?  Uhh....  How can I do this when I don't even have/have very few eyelashes?

FALSE EYELASHES.  For my sanity though, I don't want to post a picture of myself.  I'm still working on how to deal with everything and honestly, I think I did a horrible job of applying everything to myself.  So used a model to try it on.  This person is anonymous and I will not be posting a picture of her either for that sake. (And just a side note, I used her's that she bought for herself and I'm keeping mine so I can keep trying and hopefully use it on my real ones soon.  I didn't want to use mine on her after I had used it because, germs.)

One word really stood out to me on this product: RETRO.  If anyone knows me, that's my thing.  I'm constantly teased by my husband that I should have been born in the 50s so I could live the decades of the fashion and music revolutions.

The hourglass shape of the brush was something I thought was interesting.  Again, never used mascara before so I'm intrigued.  My friend sat extremely still for me as I put my shaky hand to her eye.  She doesn't like to wear a lot of make up, so this is interesting for the two of us.  When she does wear mascara she doesn't like it on her bottom lashes, so that saved me a lot of stress, haha.  I carefully applied the mascara to her top lashes and WOW.

If I stood too close to her I probably would have been blown away by the gorgeous fan of lashes!  They looked so natural except so much fuller and darker.  She had yet to try the product before we did this (she bought it before she found out I received it) and was ecstatic over the results!

Pros
- No clumps
- Fans lashes out evenly
- Easy to apply

Cons
- Can't think of any because I'm not experienced enough to know about mascaras.
