Rimmel London ScandalEyes Volume on Demand Reviews

I'm not sure why this is highly rated. While I like the formula it's fairly wet enough - I don't like dry mascara formulas the brush does not work for me it's shape is smaller in the middle although in general it's a biggish brush the design of it does not work I had to put layers and layers and it just did not deliver on giving me a good look and I ended up with a thick mess. I like the idea of it not drying too quick so you can keep layering and combing your lashes but this brush just does not deliver good results. I would suggest a different brush.

I received this product from BR to trial, Rimmel isn't a brand that I'd usually think of and go for..

I was doubtful when I opened up this mascara to find a huge bushy brush and the formula looked a bit gluggy on first impression. However both the brush and formula are great and apply beautifully.

The formula is on the thinner side and builds really well and evenly, no clumps at all.

The brush does a good job of flaring out and separating lashes. I would usually curl my lashes prior to mascara application which isn't necessary with this product.

I would definitely purchase this mascara in future, great product great price.

I am not a fan. Simple as that.

When I first opened it, the brush was an interesting shape, so I had hope that that would mean that my outer lashes would be HUGE. But unfortunately this product was nothing but disappointing.

First coat just gave the lashes a nice tint. But when I tried to apply one more, for that " continually buildable volume without clumps" that they advertised... all i got were clumps and stuck together lashes. Where was my volume???

Would not use this product again. Sorry Rimmel.

I absolutely love this mascara! The brush is so fluffy which helps to give such a natural look to your eyelashes, the mascara is buildable for a more bolder look. The fluffy brush helped to make my eyelashes clump free and made them look longer which I loved about this mascara. It made me look almost like I had eyelash extensions in. I've always disliked mascaras that go on clumpy. I will definitely continue to use this mascara as it can be used for an every day natural look so thumbs up to rimmel scandal eyes mascara.

Made my lashes look instantly thicker and longer. It stayed out all day with no smudging. The formula was easily buildable without it making my lashes look spidery. The wand and applicator size were great, it really did do as it says - can’t fault! would definitely recommend

I love Rimmel products as they are affordable and quite good quality. I found this mascara clumped quite a bit when I first starting using it. I didn’t like the brush as when I tried to correct the clumping I ended up making it worse. However after using this mascara for a week or so I learnt to use the brush better and had great results- no clumps and long dark lashes. Everything that I want. It’s not the usual type of brush I use so it did take some practice to perfect to get the look I wanted. I think this a great mascara formula and if the brush works for you then you’ll have amazing results

I’ll preface this by mentioning I’m already a big fan of Rimmel mascaras. So although I was already expecting something great, I was blown away by just how well this worked for me! I have somewhat sparse, half blonde/ light brown lashes and like to use products that can both lengthen and add volume. This combination can be so hard to nail, to get volume generally means applying layers and often results in dreaded spider leg lashes.

The product itself doesn’t have much of a smell at all, the brush is shaped almost like an 8 and very thick with brush hairs - which is a great sign. The product has some very slight flaking but nothing noticeable or unusual / it could also be because it was straight from a fresh bottle and needed a little more product worked into the brush. What I found was that the formula was SO forgiving. I did one layer and it was so light, so I kept on building and much to my surprise my lashes were lengthened and I was also able to keep them looking natural and not clumpy at all! I ended up with nicely spread, evenly coated, lashes. They also looked very natural (which I tend to aim for unless I’m doing a heavy night time look), but you could easily keep applying for something more dramatic, but this formula and brush is certainly ideal for an everyday makeup. I should also note, the product feels really light on the lash, I couldn’t notice it at all during wear which is seriously another point for this mascara.

Overall, I think this is a super awesome mascara, even my partner commented how great it looked on. The bonus is that it’s really affordable, and quite frankly far out performed some of the more expensive brands that I’ve used before.

From the get-go, the tube itself is eye-catching and bold with its sleek, curved lid and firetruck-red look. The smell is your typical, run-of-the-mill, slightly chlorine-y scent and the formula itself isn't super thick nor runny. I'm a sucker for big wands, and I really liked the chunky, hourglass-shaped head on this mascara.

As background information, I was blessed with relatively long lashes, but unfortunately they're pretty straight and usually fan downwards, so I always like to use a lash curler beforehand.

As soon as I applied the mascara I saw that it evenly separated my lashes (huge win!) and gave me instant length (double win!!), however I am slightly disappointed with the claim about "volume on demand" as I didn't see much difference between my second and third layer application.

What I really love about the mascara is its remaining power. Some mascaras sadly can't hold your lashes up and need extra help from a lash curler, but I tested one eye using my curler and the other without, and my lashes both stayed lifted! Of course, the side I used my curler with had a teensy bit more lift, but to the naked eye there really wasn't much of a difference, which I'm extremely happy about - one less thing to bring on the go!

In terms of cleaning it off, cleansing wipes, micellar water and/or a good oil cleanse can get rid of it easy. It didn't survive a smudge or crying test (found out I can actually cry on command! Who knew?!), but I don't think it claimed to be smudgeproof or waterproof anyway. Nevertheless I personally think the ease of removal is a blessing rather than a curse because you know it won't leave you with panda eyes in the morning.

In conclusion, does it give you volume on demand? Well... if you're thinking of in-your-face, full-glam, poppin' lashes, then sadly no. But for a little extra "oomph", it's a solid mascara that gives you volume suitable enough for every day wear. Would I repurchase? Actually, yes! It really boils down to its lifting and staying power, clump-freeness, and lengthening properties. Though I think I might get the waterproof version. Also, Rimmel should definitely rename it to "Length on demand" instead (but I guess that's not as catchy).

I was sent this mascara to review, I often buy sample sized mascaras so I did find the packaging to be very big, I like that when it the lid seals there is a click and it feels very secure and less risk of drying out

I like the size of the brush and wand and found it very easy to use and get in the corners.

I trialled the non waterproof black mascara. now as far as the claim that can layer at anytime- you certainly can pack it on without too much issue.

I tried it out a few different ways, I put 5 yes 5 layers on one after the other while the mascara was still wet and I have to say that every layer did add another level Length- and Somewhat volume.

If you put some on and then let it dry and come back and add more, it wasn't as easy to apply and went a little clumpier- Which I don't necessarily dislike as I like a volume effect,

I found this masacara was really good at lengthening and seperating but not quite as good at providing the volume I like.

Also I would not recommend wearing this anywhere if there is a chance of you crying, I know it is not waterproof but a couple of tears will send this running!! The positive to this is that it is really easy to remove at the end of the day.

All in all this is not the best mascara I have ever used, but also not the worst, I really liked the lengthening effect but would have wished for a little more volume. I am not sure If I would repurchase but its certainly a nice, cheaper option for an everyday mascara

I loved this mascara! If I was looking at this on the shelf I'm not sure I'd be drawn to it based on the tube. It's red with silver writing and I guess it looks like it'll do the job but doesn't scream out that this is the one you should pick. The wand has got an interesting shape and gets a good coating on the brush. It's super easy to use and coats every lash in the nicest way. One coat would be enough for a great daytime look but multiple coats works too. It seriously looks like you've got extensions and looks nice and natural. This doesn't give you a false lash look and would be perfect for someone who doesn't want to look overdone. I imagine this being the perfect mascara for teens who aren't supposed to be wearing make up at school but in saying that it's totally perfect for date night for the adults too.
