I was really excited to try a mascara again after having eyelash extensions over the holidays. Unfortunately this one was a dud as I couldn’t really see any great length to my lashes.
Perhaps it’s because my lashes were already short to work with and this one isn’t a tubular lengthening formula? I was still using an eyelash growth serum throughout this time too.
The packaging is promising but Rimmel still seem to keep going with a wand that is a bit ‘scratchy’ with little extra stubby bits that irritate a bit on application if you get too close to the base of your lashes. I seemed to get too much liquid product that I had to wipe off on the tube.
I really didn’t notice any real difference to my lash length but yes it was nice and black and it wore really well throughout the day with only minimal smudging after a work day. It’s a little clumpy but that’s not unexpected. I just combed through with a separate brush. It’s easy to remove with a oil cleanser and a flannel.
If I didn’t know this was a Rimmel brand I would have thought this was a cheapie from the Supermarket as it really didn’t do much for me. I’m quite put off any of this brand’s mascara range because of this product unfortunately but I’ll keep buying their eyelash serum.
I received this in the Christmas BBBE and was super excited to try it. I’m a diehard mascara lover, current faves include Eye of Horus and Maybelline Sky High mascara.
This is my first time trying a Rimmel mascara, it’s not usually a brand that appeals but was keen to see how it performed.
Yuck. A horrible formula that makes a clumpy mess. The brush comes out with loads of product on it so I washed it off my lashes, wiped all the excess product off the brush and tried again - still a clumpy mess. No length, clumped my lashes together and even using a clean mascara wand couldn’t seperate them.
Not sure if there is an issue with my product in particular or if this is just what it’s like, but can honestly say it’s put me off the brand. Such a shame
