the brush of this mascara is ridiculously big. It does give girls with small lashes nice big lashes but i don't like the use of this mascara at all.

What the heck is this?! The driest formulation I've come across in a while, and a dry mascara is no good to man nor beast. The brush is too big to get right into the corners and the dry formula does nothing for my short lashes. Very strange product. Needless to say this has gone straight into the bin.

I love this mascara ! It gives your lashes volume and also curls really well! I have short and straight asian lashes and this does volumize and gives them some length. Although it gets clumpy after the a couple coats, just don't put on too much.

NO, do not buy this mascara! you can so much better for sooo less! yes i'm a teen with not the highest budget when it comes to makeup and when i found out how bad this was, i was really pissed. i got the waterproof one too.what it did:
-SMUDGED EVERYWHERE
-doesnt last
-isnt waterproof
-hard to apply on lashes, the brush was way too big, biggg mistake--choose smaller, thinner brushes that go into your lashes, get each one of your lashes, and makes your life easier! jeeez

This has to be best mascara i have used and i have used different mascara brands such as loreal, max factor, maybelline, No 7. This mascara definately gives length to the lashes. All of the previous mascaras ive used have never gave such length, i didnt even know i had such long lashes until i used this mascara. The brush is big which gives your lashes more volume. The consistency is quite runny, so rub some of the mascara back in the tube before you use it. I' ve used 5 so far in in 5 months i think.
POSITIVE - If you want your eyelashes to look thick, volumised and long, use this mascara, but apply a few layers if you want it to look thick. But if you arent good at using the big brush on your bottom eyelashes you can always put paper underneath your eyelashes and then put the mascara on so you dont put any mascara on your under eye. If you are going clubbing or to a party and you know you are going to sweat, you might need to put on waterproof mascara on your bottom eyelashes. As the ONLY NEGATIVE of this mascara is that as i put mascara on my bottom eyelashes when i go to parties my bottom eyelashes leave little black dots on my under eyes so i have to keep reapplying my concealer. But i have ordered the waterproof version. But ultimately everyone always compliments me on my eyelashes! and all my friends have brought this mascara after seeing my eyelashes! also the product is sold for £7 in some shops which is not that expensive. So its worth the money and i would definately recommend this!

I was expecting a lot better! It didn't add any volume to my lashes, just blackened them. I guess that explains why its so cheap. Also, a good half of it ends up on your eyelids, so its extremely messy!

I have repurchased this 4 times now and i really do like it, but not fully love it. It is AMAZING for volume and even though it doesnt claim to give length, it still does abit! If your using for you bottem lashes it does get quite messy due to the massive brush and the tip of the mascara has alot of excess mascara but overall great for volume paired with another mascara!

Rimmel makes a few pretty good mascara's but this one is not one of of them. The purple tube (can't remember the name) is a lot better! Scandal eyes works just ok. Seems to come off by the end of the day. Wouldn't recommend.

Right after application, my eyelashes look amazing! They are lifted, seperated, blackest black, and volume has been added. My favorite types of mascaras are those that make my lashes "feathery" or "fluffy" while looking natural at the same time. This mascara is that- for 1 min. After that min, my lashes droop and my eyes begin to burn. That doesn't happen to me, but it is obvious this product is full of cheap, toxic ingredients. I loved the brush, the very black color, and the packaging but I was disappointed. I will maybe try out the waterproof version and see if I like that but I'm still doubtful. The formula was also too wet and sticky for what I like in mascara texture.

I wouldn't say this is the worst mascara made by Rimmel, but it's not the best either. Yes, it's very black, yes it coats each lash perfectly (in my opinion), however, there isn't any volume/length. I love the big brush, only because I have long lashes and I feel like a big brush gets them all. However, when I apply it, my lashes will look great at first, but after a few minutes, I notice that my lashes just drop down. Therefore, this mascara doesn't hold any curl for me. I won't buy this product again, I'll be sticking to the falsies also!

I actually really like this mascara, and how it works on my lashes, but unfortunately it makes my lashes fall out! I know -weird hey? I thought I might be imagining it but when I stopped using it I didn't notice my lashes falling out so much. I just used it again today for the first time in ages, and just as I was thinking how good my lashes looked by the end of he day, sure enough, 4,5,6 lashes when I rubbed my eye gently. Strange, but I'm chucking it out and won't repurchase. I'll stick with my new favourite, Maybelline The Falsies!

This was the only product I have ever purchased and just threw away after first use. I didn't find this black enough and it didn't do anything in ways of volume. I felt like the product wouldn't build up. Ick and never again!

This mascara is just average. It is not the worst I have ever used but certainly not the best. The brush is HUGE! I don't mind a large head with bristles but the handle on this is awkward to use. Since the brush is huge you think your lashes are going to have tons of volume and then.....nope. Just regular, ol', average lashes. It doesn't clump so I guess that would be a plus, however, it shouldn't clump because it doesn't build enough volume to clump. Thankfully it was one sale AND I had a coupon so I didn't waste that much money. Gonna toss it.

It doesn't clump, but it also doesn't appear like I am wearing any mascara. Even with multiple coats. Was looking for volume and curl and got .....nothing. I have used other Rimmel mascaras that are much better than this, but this one I wouldn't buy again.

terrible product. I got it for volume, my lashes are pretty long. It was ok with clumping but its WET...and the lashes stuck to each other...leaving a spikey effect.

Total waste of $9

UPDATED:

At first I loved this stuff. But I have to take away a point because after having it for a few weeks I notice the formula is kind of runny compared to other washables.

Plus I like Loreal Voluminous original more. That stuff rocks.

I still like this stuff. My favorite thing about it is that this stuff gives me majorly BIG lashes meaning that all my lashes are extremely big and coated. It must be the large brush because no other mascara gave me this effect and it seems to coat all my outer lashes, unlike many other mascaras where you have to work hard to do that.

It gives a lot of length and quite a bit of fullness, but the fullness/volume is not extraordinary-above average but I've seen better.

TBH I still like it but I like Voluminous better. I love dramatic mascaras and this does give big drama. If I hadn't discovered Voluminous this would be my fave.

Loved it. No clumps and elongated my lashes perfectly. The only problem I had was the long drying time.

this is seriously one of the best mascaras ever! I have two favorites that I repurchase time and time again and this is one of them! it fans out your lashes and makes them so thick and voluminous! you cannot get this stuff to clump!!

This is easily one of the worst mascaras I've ever used. For starters, the brush is bigger then my eye, so it makes it near impossible to get my baby lashes coated and my bottom lashes. Second, when I put my first layer on, it barely coats my lashes, and just ends up grouping them together, so it only looks like I have 3 lashes. So much for adding volume. Even if you add on a few layers, it doesn't really do much, other then clumping the crud outta your lashes.Doesn't do anything for length, although I don't believe it claims to. While the packaging is alright, the tube being bright orange definitely makes it stand out in a make-up bag, the fibre brush is just too outrageously big to be practical. It also gives me racoon eyes after about an hour of wear. I would not recommend this product to anyone, ever. If you want volume, go with L'Oreal Voluminous, or even L'Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes.
