How Eugene Rimmel Became

Eugene was born in France but when his father got offered a job managing a cosmetics shop in Bond Street London his family moved, this was to be how he became the cosmetic mogul he became.

Eugene Opens The House of Rimmel

At 24, Eugene opened the ‘House of Rimmel’ and in that very same year he and his father developed their own brand of cosmetics. Eugene was seen by many to be one of the leaders of beauty and healthcare as he was the first to bring scented pomades, mouth rinses and the first of its kind of toilet odouriser known as ‘toilet vinegar’.

Eugene developed non toxic mascara and was the first to bring to the world of cosmetics mail order catalogues as well as being a great marketer!Eugene Rimmels Advert 2

The Prince of Perfumers

Eugene Rimmel was later to become known as the ‘The Prince of Perfumers’ and was granted 10 Royal warrants from heads of states all over Europe for his cosmetics.

Rimmel Mascaras and Rimmel eyelash products are some of the most widely used over the globe and continue to be innovators in the cosmetics industry long after Eugene has gone!

Rimmel Glam eyes Mascara states that this product gives you seductive volume that turns heads and that its new volumflex brush styles lashes for instant separation and sensational volume, this mascara states that it is to give you big lash seduction, high definition and maximum lash impact and that your lashes will look dramatically amplified yet sleekly defined, let’s see if this is true.

How easy Rimmel London Glam ‘Eyes Mascara is to apply

The Rimmel London Glam eyes Mascara lasted all day I put it on in the morning as I left my house and it stayed on all day as if I had just applied it, when I got home one evening I was so tired I went straight to sleep and when I woke up in the morning my lashes still looked good.

Rimmel London

by Leighann on February 20, 2011 · 0 comments

in Eyelash Products

Rimmel London formally known as just plain Rimmel is a well known make up brand throughout the globe. Rimmel is one of the longest running make up brand becoming established by Eugene Rimmel in 1834.Rimmel London

The face of Rimmel has been taken on by many famous well known faces such as Kate Moss, Holly Willoughby, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and more recently being joined by Jerry Hall and her daughter as spokeswomen.

With London being such as stage for fashion and trends Rimmels change to ‘Rimmel London’ seems to the a shrewd one with their motto now being ‘Get The London Look’ showing London the place to be seen and the clothes to be seen in.

Recent ads featuring Jerry Hall’s daughter Georgina May Jagger were recently banned from TV because of false advertising as the model was wearing false eyelashes to promote mascara which standards authorities deemed to be misleading.Jerry Hall

Rimmel London has not taken this as a knockback and the free advertising from the banned TV ad probably did more for good for the brand than good. Rimmel mascaras are known for being top of the range products worn and advertised by many famous faces.

Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara Review

by Leighann on February 20, 2011 · 0 comments

in Eyelash Product Reviews,Eyelash Products

Product = Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

Price = £8.99

Colour = BlackRimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

Description of the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

This product from Rimmel London as a mascara works well, it doesn’t clump and leaves your lashes looking as though you have false eyelashes applied. Rimmel mascaras get allot of good reviews but there were problems with this mascara which I will go into further down the review.

How I Found Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara to Apply

The first time I applied the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara I didn’t realise that it would take so long to dry. Because of this I applied it and went straight out and within a few minutes outside I had the mascara all over my face. Mascaras do not usually take as long as this one did to dry and maybe it was because this product is advertised as an eyelash enhancing serum as well as a mascara?

How Long Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara Lasted

Once I had got over the way the mascara needed to dry I could give a more honest review about how long it lasted. I applied the mascara in the morning and went out for the day. I found that by lunch time I was in need of a new coat as I did not have the initial look I had when I applied it that morning. This was a common thing and I found when using the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara I needed to apply it at least 4 times a day, even more than that if I was going out on the town where I found being in pubs/clubs meant I needed to re-apply about every hour or so.

My Opinion of Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara

I do not think the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara works as an eyelash enhancing product. I think I can justify this claim as I used the mascara for 2 months without using anything else. I did not experience any eyelash growth or enhanced volume of my eyelashes. This is contrary to other reviews I have read by buyers who say that the product did enhance their lashes. Together with these reviews there were equal numbers if not more buyers saying the same as myself that it didn’t work. I would not buy or use the Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara again, it did not work for me and for the price I found it to be a waste of money!

How Long it Lasted = 2 out of 5

Ease to Remove With Eye Make Up Remover = 5 out of 5

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara Review

by Leighann on February 20, 2011 · 0 comments

in Eyelash Product Reviews,Eyelash Products

Product = Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara

Price = £6.99

Colour = Black Maybelline Falsies Volum Express Mascara

Description of the Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara Review

Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara comes with a stylish hot pink tube with bold ‘falsies Volume Express’ written in black writing so it is very visible. Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara is meant to give you the look of having false eyelash extensions applied without actually having them in and more often than not Maybelline eyelash products do work! It states that the Kera-Fibre formula and patented spoon brush you get up to 8x more volume and have not clumping. It says that its flexible wand lifts and separates your lashes to give you the look of more dramatic and volume enhanced lashes!

How I Found Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara to Apply

I found this mascara quite easy to apply as it goes on my lashes well because I have quite short lashes. The Maybelline Falsies Volume Express mascara did not leave my lashes clumped together.

How Long Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara Lasted

I applied the mascara in the morning before work and it lasted all day without the need to re-apply and kept enhanced look.  If I was going out I would not have needed to re-apply so one coat would have been enough for a whole day and night.

My Opinion of Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Mascara

In my opinion it did not give me then look I was expecting, yes it made them look longer and more curly but did not give the ‘false eyelash look’ I was looking for. Saying that it did make them look good but defiantly did not work as well as I expected. There is however a waterproof version of the Maybelline Falsies which seems to be getting great reviews so we will look a the Maybelline Falsies Volume Express Waterproof Mascara in another review at a later date.

False Eyelashes Info – New Site

by admin on July 22, 2010 · 0 comments

in Eyelash Product Reviews

Sometimes you get some stuff from the cosmetic shop and you just don’t know how to use it properly. You would wish you had someone to call who can tell you tips and secrets of makeup. Now you can find them on False Eyelashes Info. They are a bunch of girls as into beauty and makeup as you do. And they are willing to share with you all the tips and secrets that can make us all beautiful.

Although it is titled the False Eyelash Info, it provides information on everything from eyelash extensions to lip makeup. I came across a new article on the site last time named “Suncare – 15 Useful Tips”. There are some very practical tips on sun tanning. It reminds me how to thoroughly protect my beauty under the sun. Summer has come. All of you who love sunshine and beach should definitely read about it before you go on to wow someone with your brand new bikini suit.

Another post I recommend is the “36 Best Celebrity Makeup” article. There is not much words to read on this post but the writer gathered 36 fabulous celebrity close up photos and grouped them in different makeup styles. You can see how Keira Knightley demonstrated the nude look and how to make a cute peach look like Paris Hilton. The first step to success is often to imitation.

Another thing I notice on the site is that all the information is nicely categorized. You can find wonderful tips about skin care in the beauty skincare section. There are also a number of detailed step by step guide teaching you how to apply some cosmetic products like false eyelashes (of course). I particularly like the Makeup Tips in which you can find a lot of practical advice on makeup. It talks about some of the latest trends of cosmetics and advices on how to do the styles right. Of course, you can always use the search function on the upper right hand corner of the page to navigate the site.

Finally, if you have any questions about beauty and makeup or want to suggest the authors to write on a particular topic, you are always welcome to leave comments below one of the posts. They are very friendly and answer rather quickly.

Rapid Lash Reviews

by admin on July 17, 2010 · 7 comments

in Eyelash Product Reviews,Tutorials

Here at Fake Eyelashes we don’t just take anyone’s word for it when they make a claim as big as what Rapid Lash are making so we have done some searching over the internet to come up with some Rapid Lash reviews so you can get a better idea of whether Rapid Lash could be something to take over from 3d eyelash extensions and other eyelash treatments such as eyelash perming and eyelash tinting?

Rapid Lash Review # 1

Rapid Lash Review # 2

Rapid Lash Review # 3

Rapid Lash Review # 4

Rapid Lash Review # 5

Rapid Lash Review # 6

So it does look as if Rapid Lash eyelash enhancing serum actually works but I do not believe that it can achieve the same results as false eyelashes and semi permanent eyelash extensions (3d lashes), but it does seem to work. Although it works it does seem to come with some complications such as darkening of the eyelashes and eyelids, one set of eyelashes growing faster than the other and itching in some cases.

Leave a comment if you have tried any of these products before? Always check out our blog for info about semi permanent eyelash extensions, eyelash technicians, mobile eyelash technicians, videos, and other useful pages about eyelashes and eyelash products.

Eyelash Enhancing Serum – Demand For Rapid Lashes Products Crashes Boots Website

by admin on July 17, 2010 · 0 comments

in Eyelash Product Reviews

Today women all over the UK and beyond are going totally crazy for Rapid Lashes Eyelash Enhancing Serum which apparently enhances the client’s lashes in some cases after only 4 days! Boots who have been stocking the item have been inundated with enquires to buy and even had client crash their website due to over capacity!

Rapid Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum

By all accounts Rapid Lashes eyelash enhancing serum is a technical breakthrough with clients experiencing longer lashes after only a few days use but the way it all came about has been even more astounding!

Women with the eye condition glaucoma have been given eye drops to help the condition which contained something called prostaglandin. These same clients found not only that their condition was getting better but also that their eyelashes were getting longer. Because of these tests were carried out where it was found that nearly all clients involved in the tests eyelashes grew noticeably.

The Birth of the Eyelash Enhancing Serums

Rapid Lash was not in fact the first to produce an eyelash enhancing serum but they do seem to be the first to produce one that really works! Boots who have been the main stockist of Rapid Lashes products also have their own eyelash serum called No7 Protect and Perfect but this has in no way had they affect of Rapid Lashes serum!

The stampede for this product has been reminiscent of when semi permanent eyelash extensions or 3d lashes first came onto the market but as the price is much lower many more people can afford it. The need to grow the eyelashes ironically came from women going over the top with false eyelash extensions.

Enhancing Your Eyelashes Incorrectly Can Stunt Growth

False eyelashes are available in shops all over the UK and unlike 3d eyelash extensions you can apply them yourself. Women wanting the same exaggerated look as Katie Price and Cheryl Cole not knowing that they get theirs done by professionals have began to apply false eyelash extensions in twos and threes which is not advised.

Unlike eyelash extensions which are individual and lightweight false eyelashes are complete strips of fake eyelashes which are applied directly onto the persons eyelashes but due to the weight and the amount of glue that is applied this overly done causes great damage to the eyelashes and in some cases even stops grow totally!

We will continue to monitor the reaction to Rapid Lashes Eyelash Enhancing Serum and other eyelash serums to see if there are any side effects and if it does work as well as people are saying it does. Be sure to stay tuned into our blog for all future updates!
