My eyelashes are naturally long and full, I just like to have that extra push every now and then. I have several different types of mascara, and this is one of my favorites so far. The comb applicator is really hard to deal with, so this definitely isn't the mascara that you should get if you want to just sweep it on in 10 seconds. It really separates and lifts my lashes, and holds curl extremely well. It takes time to apply, but works wonders. I would recommend it, especially if you have lashes that are already long, and just need a little spark of life.

I remember I bought this for my prom. Applicator was junky and it did nothing for my lashes. Skip it..

I really like this mascara. I don't wear very much makeup at all, but I do wear mascara and lip gloss daily. I had never tried a Rimmel product before but I was at work and was going out afterwards and had forgotten my regular (expensivo) mascara. I normally use Jemma Kidd's Semi Permanent Lash Tint (which surpasses ANYTHING out there btw) but the only place I know to get it is BG and I wanted something I could grab quick at the drugstore. I'm glad I tried this. It has a comb applicator and it really does provide extreme definition. I just wish it were also waterproof! But, for the price, it's a great product.

Horrible mascara. I normally love comb type brushes. This just did nothing, hardly any mascara gets on your lashes and what little does is clumpy. Try Rimmel Lash Maxxx it is a much much much better version of this mascara; it also has a comb type brush.

I can totally understand the bad reviews here, because the first time i used this it looks great, then after it just always looks horrible. I started using it again, change the application technique and it looks amazing. You need to get it right at the base of the lashes, build it up there, brush it up a few times, return back to the base, wiggle it up, work the tips, and go over it again, Sounds long and complicated, but i tend to play with mascaras to get them to how i want them to look anyways. This stuff NEVER flakes of smudges, but the formula does take a while to dry. I like the the comb, its really different, because i'm used to normal wands. I'm doing to be using this a lot more now. If you have this, i'd strongly say to give it another go. Strangely, it seems to work better if I have something on my lashes already, like a bit of mascara that wasn't totally removed the night before.

I got this as a freebie, and was interested in trying it due to the unique comb brush it had. It did not hold the curl in my lashes at all. It did lengthen my lashes but it didn't mater since they were no longer curcled. glad I didnt' pay for it, didn't live up to the hype.

I got this very cheaply at TJ Hughes (UK). I am always curious about mascaras and often buy them on impulse, particularly when they have a gimmick like the comb wand on this. I bought the waterproof variant in black. I have found Rimmel mascara to be greyish coloured and clumpy in the past, so my expectations of this were not high, especially after reading the reviews here. I was surprised to find that the application was not too bad, definitely not as bad as some comb mascaras I've tried. I was able to get a decent single coat application on my lashes with minimum effort. Also the colour is a truer black than I was expecting. However the consistency is very very wet and sticky, and it's difficult not to smear your eyelids or avoid the lashes sticking together before they're dry, and this is the mascara's real downfall. I'm philosophical having bought this at a sale price, but I wouldn't recommend paying any more than a couple of pounds for this. I would be disappointed if I'd paid the retail price for this.

This product clumped my lashes. The wand also holds far too much product so you have to remove a lot of the product before you can use it. I was very unimpressed by it and actually threw it away after a week of use.

If you could give negative lippies, this would be the first product that I would think of. Please don't buy this mascara. Your money would be better spent if it were thrown down the sewer rather on this. Ugh, just horrible.

I have to agree with the negative reviews here. I usually like Rimmel mascaras so I had high hopes for this one, but it didn't deliver at all. I have decent lashes naturally, lengthwise and fullness. This clumped and flaked and tangled my lashes, I looked like I had three spikey ones coming out of each eyelid. Not a good look.

This is not the easiest mascara to work with, but now I've worked out how best to apply it, the results on my short, sparse lashes are spectacular.

I first used it by applying straight from the tube, as it came. Big mistake. Tons of gloop everywhere, clumpy bedraggled lashes.

I then tried wiping the comb off on a tissue before application. This is very wasteful, as you really need (I discovered) to remove about 3/4 of what's on the comb. But what's left is plenty to make a thick, glossy coat on the lashes. Which sticks them together. So the next step is to comb and comb and comb, more times than you've probably done for any other mascara. Eventually the lashes start to separate out beautifully, and the end result really is like the ad. I get length, thickness, and definition, so I couldn't ask for more. And it stays on all day without flaking or smearing too. It's a little tough to remove, but a waterproof mascara remover will deal with it. If you have puny lashes and don't mind a little hard work, this is a great mascara to try.

Dangit!! This is the second Rimmel mascara in a row that I have been fooled into (damn you, Extra Super Lash..the only good one...that suckered me into trying your comerades!), and I'm about to toss. I wish I had been patient enough to check the reviews too! I like the Maybelline mascara with a similar comb-style wand (though the Maybelline design, I've discovered, is much, much better), but I was hoping to find a less-flaky formula. So, I tried Extreme Definition. Just like everyone says, the comb is too flat and doesn't do a THING to separate lashes. The mascara goes on thin but clumpy (hard to explain until you've lived this monstrosity), and wilts lashes into sad, flat heaps. Boooo Kate Moss and your pretty, deceptive lash ads!

I, first of all, didn't care for the 'comb' wand. It didn't deposit any product onto my eyelashes at all the first go-round, and then it took numerous swipes to get anything to show up. I could see how the comb might 'seperate' lashes, but I can do that with the comb in my makeup brush set. I find all Rimmel mascaras to be watery and thin. Plus, this wasn't really a great black shade, it was more of a dark gray, made my lashes look charcoaly. Will not repurchase.

Have to admit hated this mascara, first time I tried it and it didn't do anything and forgot bout it, and then a couple of months later I tried it again but me forgetting how bad it was, applied it when I applied all my eye make up just as I was about to set off so had 2 remove all my eye make up and start over again.
curled my eyelashes and it just sraightened them out again which no mascara has done b4 and couldnt get it through my lashes.
Throught it right in the bin after that, didnt even offer it 2 my sister. Has put me off all rimmel mascaras now

THIS IS THE WORST MASCARA EVER. It made my eyelashes look like they were all clumped together, and the wand, well it's like trying to put the mascara on with a flat butter knife. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.

Ay, yi, yi. This mascara sucks so "extremely," on so many levels, I don't even know where to start! LOL!!

First, the packaging. Not a "screw on" kinda cap, a "pull off" instead. It's very tough to separate. You have to be strong AND fast, lest the strangest comb wand you've ever seen flaps out and smacks you on the wrist! (So you look like you've been working on the car all day! ;) The "comb" isn't even a comb, it's a small plastic sword with barely-discernible grooves on one side. :P

Not sure what the mascara is, either. Unrefined crude oil, maybe? It's so wet and nasty, I can't even begin to describe it. The overall experience is like dipping a butter knife into a barrel of "black gold" and trying to put that on your lashes! It's truly disgusting stuff. I keep saying I won't buy another Rimmel mascara ever again. I must need Lashaholics Anonymous (or a trip to an oil refinery!) to help me keep my promise! ;)

Right in the trash. This stuff is made with tar and glue, and you have to pull the top off violently. Then it sticks your eyese together. A waste of 5 Euro. Rimmel should be embarassed (Kate Moss would never wear this crap!!! )
