Not bad.
Not great.
Done the job for 3 months.
Not finished yet.
But it's time to move on and forget it has ever existed! lol

It gives length and volume.. It doesn't feel too heavy.. But that's it. It isn't a waw product that left me amazed by it. Honestly.. for the same price would recommend trying something else.

I'm not a mascara connoisseur as before this mascara i only used a very cheap rimmel line that was discon here a few yrs ago (I can't remember its name).

I find this mascara good at volumising. I have medium length lashes that aren't very black. I have the extreme black version of this and feel confident to go without black eye liner. Like others have mentioned it wears off after a few hours (especially if u have pregnancy shiny face like me :-( )

I may start to venture into the world of mascaras and see which works well for me. I think it's a good place to get very black and separated (not clumpy) eyelashes.

To be honest, i dont think this is one of the best mascaras out there. It does stay on well and the mascara itself is very good, but i dont really like the wand. it didnt add 10x more volume to my lashes. However, it is a pretty decent mascara, and i would say its good for its price

This is the best drugstore mascara which I have ever come across. First off, my eyelashes are quite long and thick anyway, but still - this does not make them clumpy. They do not stick together when I use this mascara either. The brush is great. You don't need to apply several coats of this to give yourself thick, full lashes - you literally only need to dip the brush into the product once for each eye. It wears well, and comes off well with water and I find that it does not run at all. One tube generally lasts me about 6 months. It retails here for $17.00 but I usually purchase it on sale for around $11 (I know, America, it isn't cheap to buy this make-up in Australia). I will continue to buy the Rimmel Volume Flash mascara. Hope this review helps, beautyqueens! x

Bought this in waterproof. It won't create really dramatic thick lashes but adds length that looks natural. My lashes but better.And it seems to last well. Kind of like Maybelline Full&Soft. Pretty good deal for the price.

Let me start by saying I've tried almost every mascara going! and I LOVE this one!
It really lifts your lashes as soon as it touches them.. a few layers later you have perfectly separated, lifted and longer lashes! it also works great on the bottom lashes. This mascara is the only mascara that actually really gives me that 'awake' feeling! The only bad thing I can say, is that it can be very runny in high winds and you can find yourself with panda eyes it is not what so ever waterproof..BUT I suppose that's what the volume lash waterproof by rimmel is for! which is what I'll be buying next time, however this one wont go unused as I'll stick to using this for nights out :)

I love this mascara! I've been using it for around 5 years. I don't know what I'll use if it gets discontinued! I always get compliments on how long my eyelashes look. It makes my eye lashes long and thick with only 2 coats. :)

As an 'in the car or purse, I don't really care if I lose it because it was fairly inexpensive' mascara, I really do rate this. Its quite black, does give me the doe eye look and sticks to the ends of my eyelashes (which are blonde) so it definetely makes them look longer. Lashes are fairly seperated and this stuff stays on forever but is easy to remove with water and eye make up remover.

Can't say I liked this mascara. It was hard to layer without getting the spider-lash effect which also made my lashes look hard. Ugh. Didn't make my lashes look longer, only darker. Smudged slightly and also flaked. The brush also didn't work for me either because it picks up too much product so you have to wipe away so much or else it will clump like CRAZY! Not the best Rimmel mascara out there.

love Love LOVE! i have the 'Extreme Black' version of this mascara! It instantly curls and volumises my lashes and look very dramatic :) can look a bit spidery at times, but overall one of my top 3 mascaras along with CG lashblash and YSL faux cils!! xx

I've got the 'Extreme Black' version of this product (comes in the black tube with the red accents) -I mean, I personally like a big-eyed doe sort of look and this product seems to suit better than some other drugstore brands for that effect though I find it extremely wet and it tends to clump. Cons? Doesn't work for extension, instead of lengthening it seems to sort of add little off-direction specks on the end of your lashes than you end up taking off anyway because they're not very flattering. Pros, it's very black and does add volume at the base of your lashes but it flakes, clumps, and, frankly, it'd be nice to have both volume and length.

I stayed over at a friends and forgot my makeup bag so didn't have any mascara to put on in the morning before I left. She let me borrow this mascara and I actually quite liked it (she had the volume flash red tube one with the curved brush). I have pretty average lashes - no thickness, okay length but a little on the short side. This mascara gave me good curl even without using an eyelash curler beforehand, and quite a bit of length. I applied 2 coats and it looked pretty good. As for volume, there was some, but it provided more length than thickness to my lashes. Didn't smudge or flake throughout the day either. I'm thinking of buying a tube for myself! Just make sure you get the one with the curved brush as I don't think the straight one looks that good.

This goes on just OK. It looks just OK for about 30 mins. to an hour. After one or two hours no-one would ever know you had ever put mascara on your eye lashes unless they looked at the black smudge under your eyes. This is going in the trash..

Well this is weird... i really liked the product!!

The way I applied it, it volumised and lengthened my lashes!!!

The only negative would be that bits do fall off during the day onto your face, but other than that, i thought it was quite good as drugstore mascaras go!!!!

omg, this products sucks! Rated well for volume in Lucky magazine so I tried it. It doesn't do anything for me! Waste of $5. I'm staying with my L'oreal Voluminous mascara. Good thing I purchased the L'oreal as a back up, just in case.

Got this for free as a GWP, and I'm glad I didn't pay for it, because I wasn't too impressed. I liked the petite brush, but it clumped way too easily.

This is the worst mascara I have ever used.
It is wet and does not seem to dry all day and I get it all over my face.
It clumps my eyelashes together, by far THE WORST ever.

It is thickening, I'll give it that.

However overall this formula is awful. Goes on dry and clumps like crazy right from the very first application. Made my lashes look brittle, clumpy, dry and almost ... crunchy? No lengthening to speak of.

Incredibly disapointed with this product, wish I had read the reviews here first!
