I really like this mascara and I am junkie for sure. I have tried them all and it is the one item that I am always buying. I love to try out new ones and I am liking the way this one makes my eyes look. I am not crazy about the brush but I am just personally partial to regular brushes as opposed to the comb-like one this comes with. However, it does give my eyes a fancier look and the coverage on my lashes is great for going out. Not the easiest to remove but that is what I hope for in a mascara. It does not run nor does it flake off onto my face. Nice price too.

Cute cute cute packaging -- :D Love the metallic pink accent and the waffle patterned top :) I bought this at Walmart in Extreme Black (once again bonus packaging, it came with a Free Black Rimmel Kohls eyeliner pencil). The wand of this mascara is pretty interesting, it has 2 sets of bristles - one set is shorter and one set is longer. Anyhow it definitely gives definitions and lengthens the lashes on 1st coat, I didn't get much Volume. I didn't really noticed an increased in volume until the 2/3 coats I put on and I would not say it's 10x more volume like the packaging saids....it's more like 2-3x. As far as clumping goes, it's fairly average, I get one or two clumps here and there which is not unusual. I gave it 4 lippies because even though it's not waterproof, the staying power is pretty decent, I didn't get much issue with racoon eyes AND it does decent job on lifting/semi-curl the lashes, which is quite impressive given the price. Glam Eye is actually quite smiliar to Chanel's Exceptional mascara.

I have to say I've never been so impressed by a mascara until now. I've been looking all over for a mascara that gives me volume, and this mascara DEFINITELY does it. I'm still shocked by how well it thickens my lashes, because I paid about 6 bucks for it, and did not have high expectations. I've paid so much more for other mascaras and did not have the results that I've had with this one!

It lengthened the lashes a bit, but it did much more volumizing than lengthening. If you want volume, this is THE mascara!

I think this mascara is fantastic. It gives me long, thick, and unnatural-looking lashes in just a couple of coats, and it doesn't smudge or flake.

I had high expectations for this. This is just like any other natural looking mascara out there. It did not lengthen or thicken the lashes. Nothing really glam about it. The packaging IS very cute, but the quality is pretty bad. The neck of the brush is so flimsy, every time I try to put the wand back in it bends. I've gotten mascara all over my hands because of this. I would never buy this again.

LOVED this mascara... everything about it. Volumizing, lengthening, does not make my lashes hard and stiff. Doesn't clump. I don't understand the nightmare reviews. Goes on nicely and fast since the wand makes it more error-proof.

A beautiful package, but an average mascara. Really, for me, it's about the same as Great Lash. It blackens lashes but doesn't do much to lengthen or curl them. But it lasts all day.

I am so sad that this didn't work for me! I was excited about this mascara because of the great reviews. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst mascaras I have ever tried! I have medium-length lashes that are very straight and not very thick. My lashes need some help, and the most important thing to me is having a mascara that holds the curl from my Shiseido curler. Glam Eyes went on very thick and clumpy, immediately weighing my lashes down. The mascara formula was so wet and heavy that I actually had lashes hanging down into my eyes (major pet peeve). No amount of combing with my trusty eyelash comb made any difference.

To make matters worse, this mascara was extremely hard to remove! I don’t know why... it isn’t waterproof. I normally wash my face with cleanser and then use jojoba oil to remove whatever eye makeup is left. I had to actually scrub my lashes to get all of the mascara off, and even then I found flakes under my eyes the next morning. This is going back to the drugstore right now!

Not even lying, this mascara makes my eyelashes HIT MY BROWS. The length it gives me is unreal. It took me about a week to get used to the brush (actually, it's more like a comb with teeth) but now that I've been working with it, it's amazing. It doesn't give me much volume or thickening, but the length and separation is enough to get me raving about it. I actually like it BETTER than LashBlast. CHECK THIS OUT.

i found this mascara to be SHOCKINGLY bad. i am wondering now after reading other reviews if i got an old tube or something.

it is mis-named because it is far from glam. very average and would be "natural" looking if it didn't clump and flake soooo badly! very disappointing. usually you can't really go wrong with comb-type mascaras. even if you don't love them, they at least coat your lashes well and get the job done.

not so with this product, unfortunately. and with drug store mascaras getting so expensive, this is no bueno.

At first this seems like a great mascara.
But after a short while this mascara starts to flake very bad. I will never buy this one again.

I really don't like this mascara, it's okay but it didn't give the dramatic eye lashes that it said it would. (and yes I know how to use the brush)...it just didn't give me the "oompf" that I wanted...the extra super lash is better, but not if you want very dramatic lashes.

I originally bought it because of the cute packaging and it was on sale. Didn't expect to love it so much! It lengthens, holds a curl and never clumps. I would definitely repurchase =)

This is an ok mascara. I don't find it to be better then my Lycra Lash. I find that it does clump more then lycra lash but it does give my lashes nice length. I won't re buy it though.

Rimmel mascara seems to get rave reviews on MUA so I was curious to try it. I bought the Glam eyes volumizing mascara because my eyelashes are long enough, but I like to add volume. I also thought the tube was really cute ( and yes, I am that shallow). I was disappointed though- the brush is very bendy and hard to use. It seems to take some special careful technique which I cannot master. I prefer a fuller brush, so I will not repurchase this mascara.

I have tried many, many different mascaras and this one I will buy over and over again! It gives me length, curl, AND volume and holds it for hours! It doesn't give me spider lashes either, you just have to go slow with the brush and really work it through your lashes. The wand is a little hard to get used to, but like others have said, once you get the hang of it, this stuff is amazing!

Edit: I still kept my ratings the same because I do think this is a great mascara... but I wore it for about 3 weeks, and every single time my eyes would get super irritated! I'm not sure of the reasoning, but it made my lashes look great... so I am sad to say I have to keep looking for my HG!

i bought it just because i thought the tube was really cute and to my surprise the mascara is not that bad either. It was pretty good for the first 2 weeks then it started to dry out and to get clumpy ...but again...better than i expected.It gave me volume and lenght ...not drama ...just enough

Pretty god mascara. I loved the two different types of bristles, they let you do pretty day time lashes and longer more dramatic fanned out lashes if you use the long bristles. The package is cute but the wand is so flimsy it will bend when I am putting it back in the tube, and get mascara all over my hands. The formula could be just a teeny bit thinner, can get a little clumpy sometimes.

I loove it!
The wand is difficult to manipulate, you must understand the purpose of the two kinds of bristles. The short ones for applying the mascara and volumizing, the long ones for separating and curving the lashes. The wand is really (too?) flexible, but I don't see its purpose...
My straight and short lashes look darker (I got the Midnight Black one), fuller (though as not as they promised), longer.
You can do a gorgeous dramatic look with it!
It doesn't smudge but it flakes (after 6-months use). Easy to remove.
AND it's very cheap and the packaging is so cool (first time I see Rimmel mascaras with a nice packaging!)!

I Like this Mascara, mainly because of the adorable packaging :) but it does work quite well though. The only problem I have with it is the brush, it seems a bit flimsy and like its going to break each time I take it out of the tube. Even though I like this it does seem to get a bit flaky and "spidery" after a few hours......I've tried a lot of mascara's and I always go back to Maybelline Great Lash (my HG) but I am keeping this just so I can switch it up at times.
