Absolutely hate this mascara. I've had three mascaras from Rimmel and they have all been awful.
Gluggy and hard to apply, this takes ages to dry and then leaves your eyelashes feeling sort of crunchy.
I would not ever recommend this mascara.
Its not very expensive but for about the same price you can find much better mascaras.

Probably one of the worst mascaras I have ever tried! The formula is wet, messy and does absolutely nothing for my lashes. The only positive thing I can think of, is that it is waterproof.

This was just blah. The end look wasnt too bad, but the formulation was soooo wet and messy. This also flaked on me and made my eeys itch. I will not be buying this again. Rimmel has better mascaras.

This product wasn't very good. I did not like the way it looked after you applied it, clumpy, and no volume or length. Very dissapointing ....

I got this mascara as an extra. From what I am seeing right now, the mascara makes my lashes have that "doll-like" lash look since some of the lashes look like they're together. I have naturally long lashes but I would like to try something else.

Wow, I guess I am one of the very few who like this product.
I bought this on a whim because I am experimenting on what works best for me. I found this and loved it right away. The wand is prefect for me and the small tip makes it easy to get the lashes on the inner corner of my eyes.
It truly gives me TONS of volume and length. The only issue I had with this mascara was that it made my lower lashes TOO long so I had a little bit a black speckles under my eye, but my remover quickly fixed it.
I love this would definitely buy it again.

This product wasn't very good. There was no serperation, no volume, no length. It just clumped. The only part that I liked was the waterproof aspect of it. I deffinately won't be buying this again.

Hands down the WORST mascara I've ever used!!!! It did nothing for my lashes at all. No length, volume, or separation. It was a p.i.t.a. to take off too.

Wow, I guess I'm the only one who actually likes this product. The brush is very good and tapered at the tip so you can get at the little baby lashes. Yes, the formula is very wet and if you don't use the wand properly it can clump but if you're willing to work with it you can get a really glamorous set of lashes. It does take a while to dry but after it does, it DOES NOT COME OFF until you want it to. It doesn't flake either, and leaves your lashes still flexible and not at all "crunchy". I would definitely repurchase it but I have a feeling it's going to be discontinued.

Horrible mascara. Does nothing and clumps a lot. It takes a long time to dry, so if you accidentally blink too hard, it smudges everywhere.

At some point in my life I was obsessed with Rimmel, so one day in my makeup drawer I found this and used it. DOES NOT LIVE UP TO ITS CLAIMS! Although it is waterproof, I'm not sure how its supposed to make your eyes look bigger. I always am admiring those big model eyes, and this is not the way to go. I really think its the formula, not the brush, because I really admire it, although I can't tell you for sure since I never used the brush in any other formula. It would be getting zero, but of course you can't do that. The only thing that's quality is that it is waterproof.

I can't resist a bargain but wish I had passed this one by. The 75% off sticker really sucked me in. Absolutely the worst mascara I ever tried. Made such wet gloppy mess around my eyes that I had to remove all my eye makeup and begin again. Straight into the trashcan with this stuff.

Bought this for 75% off. I thought for $1.82, it wouldn't hurt to try it. Sad to say, this sucks. It's far too wet, which made it made my curled lashes fall flat. It takes forever to dry, it didn't add any volume or length. I see why this sad product is becoming dc'd, it's crap.

It didn't even seem like any product was coming off the brush. What did come off was flakey and hard, and it comepletely flattened out my lashes. I could not get it to look remotely decent on my eyes. I had to give up, remove it, and use my old mascara. I usually stick it out even if I'm not completely satisfied with a mascara because I don't want to go through the trouble of getting another one, but this outraged me to the point where I went back to the store and stood in line to get a refund.

This mascara is the worst mascara I have ever purchased. The brush is too small, the formula stays wet for a long time and smudges, and it made my lashes brittle. Never again.

Well, this is the last time I buy a mascara without consulting MUA first. It was an impulse buy, so I went into it blind.

Thank goodness I didn't try it out right before work (which is really never a good idea with new makeup anyway). I had the same problems everybody else did: made my lashes look really thin and skimpy (and they are respectably thick), didn't lengthen, didn't dry. That is, it didn't dry until it had slid all over my undereye area, then it stuck fast to that poor, delicate skin.

I may try this in non-waterproof, as I liked the brush and the price is good.

The packaging is nice, I like the brush, and I find that it's easy to remove (from your lashes) with eye makeup remover, but I agree with the other reviewers--the formula is terrible. I have pretty thick lashes that typically have no problem holding a curl, but this stuff managed to make them look skimpy, didn't lengthen at all, and, no matter what I did (and I did a lot), my lashes went droopy when I put this on. Also, it's watery and takes forever to dry (except when it gets on your skin, which it will--then, it dries quickly and won't come off), so my entire eye area ends up a mess whenever I use it.

The absolute worst I have ever used!! Actually made my lashes look skimpier. After completing my makeup routine, I proceded to dry my hair. When I finished, I realized this mascara was all over the place! I had to remove all of my eye makeup and start over!
Straight to the garbage can for this one - glad it was so cheap!

I typically love Rimmel mascaras, including the non-waterproof version of this one.
I wanted to try waterproof & I assumed that this would be basically the same formula as the normal one. Boy was I wrong!
This mascara is very wet & thin. When I put it on, it just kind of sticks to my lashes and does NOTHING. I'm really not exaggerating here, it doesn't lengthen or thicken or curl my lashes. It just sits there & never dries. I end up with my normal looking lashes, just darker, that leave black spots up on my brow bone & under my eyes.

I'll usually give a product a solid week before I make a verdict on it, this one got 2 days.

I do not recommend. I hope the waterproof versions of Rimmel's other mascaras are better.
