For those of you who don’t know me, or are new to my blog and haven’t seen my previous posts on mascara, well I’m addicted to the stuff. I’m always on a hunt for a new mascara that claims to give me longer lashes with more volume, basically I’m a sucker for the stuff. So when this Rimmel London Day 2 Night mascara turned up on my door step the other day I was over the moon! I’d won a competition on the Rimmel London website which I had entered months ago and completely forgot about, to win a full sized sample of their latest mascara. As I’d done this months ago I’d completely forgotten all about it! I’ve actually wanted to try out this mascara for so long as the idea of two different looks in a mascara has intrigued me for quite some time.
Rimmel describes it as ‘A multi-tasking, 2 in 1 defined length/intense volume mascara. Top Cap: Exceptionally defined and ultra-lengthened lashes. Bottom Cap: Thickens lashes with voluptuous, oversized volume. No Clumps’.
The basic idea behind this mascara is that you can wear the top cap ‘length’ for a basic day look with long lashes, and then add the bottom cap ‘volume’ to create a much more intense night time look. This mascara has made me curious for months on how one mascara can change the look of its mascara wand to achieve two different looks.
The top cap ‘length’ mascara wand
The Bottom Cap ‘Volume’ mascara wand
The two wands have different looks about them, the top cap ‘length”s wand is much longer and skinner, whilst the bottom cap ‘volume’ is much shorter and thicker. Both wands are simple to apply, there’s not much more fuss about it.
So the results?

Bottom Cap ‘Volume’

First of all I love the length part of this mascara, it made my lashes super long! But silly me forgot to take a picture of my lashes normally to show you before I applied it. I’m not so keen on the volume part of the mascara on its own, I don’t feel like it did much to my lashes at all on its own. However when I tried the volume part on top of the length application, it gave my lashes a large boost of volume. So in my opinion if you want length and volume in your lashes then apply the volume to your lashes after you’ve done the length. I believe this mascara is around the £7.99 mark from Boots, and for a ‘drugstore’ mascara I think its very reasonably priced. As this was sent to me I didn’t purchase this myself, but when I run out (which will probably be soon – I use a lot of this!), I will definitely be repurchasing this!
Hi everyone! As the title of the blog suggests I have some news. That’s right, Lisahh-Jayne is now on Youtube! After much umming and ahhing and some really positive responses on Twitter I decided to give it a whirl. I’m completely new to the whole videoing myself lark, so this first video isn’t very amazing, and I’m having…
Hi Everyone! It’s been a while since I last poped up a youtube video, and what better time to do it after my very busy week last week involving several shopping trips! So I thought I’d share with you all a couple of things I purchased last week. Hope you enjoy 🙂
During the summer months I was a big fan of CC Creams. I spent months searching to find the perfect one, and wore them constantly instead of my foundations. Now the weather is a little cooler I’ve found I don’t need CC Creams just for the lighter feeling and the SPF protection, but for the…
Recently my skin has been looking a little ‘meh’. It’s been looking dull, dry, and I’m getting quite an outbreak of spots. I’ve never had amazing skin, and it’s never seemed to grow out of it’s teenage spot phase. But it’s been looking even more worse for wear recently. So I decided it was…

I’m a huge lover of neutral eyeshadows, in fact they’re the only colours I’ll use. There’s nothing more I love than a natural brown smokey eye for a night out, I much prefer to use a colourful lipstick than a colourful eyeshadow. So when Chemist Direct contacted me and asked if I wanted to try out the [amazon…
