Rimmel London ScandalEyes Volume on Demand Reviews

I have not had a good run with mascara so I was skeptical that this product was for me!

However, I was wrong. Rimmel’s ScandalEyes Volume on Demand has been welcome addition to my make-up bag.

This product made my eyes pop, and gave me a volume that I have lusted after for years. The solution did not cake or flake on my eyelashes, giving me a clean and wide-eyed look.

I have a tendency to rub my eyes, and I was impressed that this mascara doesn’t smudge.

In terms of how waterproof this product was, I can’t fault it. I gave it the ultimate test by wearing it while watching The Notebook! And while I bawled my eyes out, the mascara did not run or smudge!

Perfect for day and night, and any occasion this mascara is a must-have!

I am absolutely loving this Rimmel ScandalEyes Volume on Demand mascara!! I was stoked to become a trial tester for this product as I love big lashes!! The bigger the better in fact. The best thing about this mascara is it does create big fake like lashes that are super long but without the clumps that’s some mascara leaves. The shape of the wand is kind of like an hour glass shape which makes applying so quick and easy. As we are currently on lockdown I have been having fun playing around with this epic mascara. The other thing I love about this product is the cost! Great value for money.

I was lucky enough to be selected to trial this mascara. The mascara comes in the standard Rimmel packaging. The brush it’s self has a kink on either side, I didn’t like this design as it impacted on the application of the mascara. It ended up on on my eye lids instead of my lashes. It made my lashes appear think and long however I would not purchase as I didn’t like the brush. It didn’t leave any clumps so it’s not a bad mascara overall.

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.

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.

So I have to start with the disclaimer that I have a holy grail favourite mascara so this one had to live up to a lot. For the price it did pretty okish but I wouldn’t rebuy.

I REALLY wanted to focus on trialling the ‘build-ability’ this product claims to have. When I applied the first coat I was pleased enough, very subtle but a nice formula. I straight away start applying more coats and it did build up a bit, a pretty natural result. I generally like my mascara to have a bit more punch. The next day I applied one coat and then let it completely dry.. for like an hour.. before applying the next coat. This was a FAIL. The mascara on my eyelashes was super dry and I couldn’t drag the brush through very well to apply any more - this was the same to me as all other mascara if you try to ‘top up’ on dry mascara. I was disappointed by that, I thought a mascara you could build up on throughout the day seemed like a great idea!

The packaging is big thick and red, very rimmel, and the brush pretty standard although it did separate the lashes beautifully when applied normally.

Overall I’d say this is a nice natural mascara and I will certainly use it, but the revolutionary buildability... I didn’t see it.

Rimmel usually fail to dissapoint with their mascaras and their eye catching packaging. This was no exception.

Whats great is the mascara is really buildable so you can transform your lashes to a day and night time look by applying more until you are pleased with the result.

The brush is great as it allows a generous application and a smaller end to get those lower inner corners lashes.

The mascara is a proper BLACK which will make any lashes POP and lasted all day. The tube size was standard and the mascara didn't smell overly fragrant.

I really liked this product!

This mascara surprised me when I used it! The brush looks huge and picks up a lot of product but when I used it, my lashes were perfectly and lightly coated - not clumpy at all! It's super light, I even forgot I was wearing it until I saw the mirror at night and remembered to remove it. It makes your lashes look more curled and longer, but not more voluminous.

My only critique is that the tip of the brush is so large I can't really get to the inner corner. It also works best paired with another mascara if you want your lashes looking thicker but it's perfect for everyday minimal makeup looks.

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 quite like Rimmel products but this just wasn't the go for me. On first application it was very so so (I like good volume) but it states it builds really well so I kept going. Unfortunately it didn't layer well, it was just a clumpy mess.
