This is my first experience with Rimmel products, so I didn't have any real expectations.
Description (From ulta.com): The first mascara that combines lash plumping and defining
bristles with a unique play-ball brush. Flat side plumps lashes with
show-stopping volume. Not a clump in sight. Ball side lifts and curls lashes
for eyes that truly show-off. Flake-proof, smudge-proof formula lasts morning
to night! Scandalous volume and lift, for lashes to really show off!
Great things may be possible with this mascara.
The brush is kind of awkward. Basically, it’s a standard mascara brush, with
a ball brush at the end. The first time I applied the mascara, it did not go
well; I used the brush like I would on any other mascara, and the results were
not impressive at all. The second time,
I used primarily just the ball end tip to define each individual lash, and my
results were much better.
Perhaps I am a bit crazed, but when I hear that the mascara
is from a line called “ScandalEyes”, I expect the mascara to provide bold,
dramatic results. Such is not the case,
unfortunately. I did get length and
lift, which is what the mascara does indeed advertise, but the effect is more
of a fluttery, doll lash look than anything that would be considered bold or
dramatic. At least by my standards.
Immediately before application
After application
Pros: Provides decent length, lift, and separation thanks to
its unique ball end. Helps achieve a
natural look. Dry “fiber” formula that
dries quickly. No smudges, flakes,
clumps. Cheap - $6.99 or less.
Cons: Application can be tricky at first, and may require a
few practice runs. Not very bold, not
very dramatic, not very scandalous.
Bottom line: While this is not my favorite mascara ever, it is
decent (especially for the price!), so if you’re going for a doll-lash look or just
a more subdued, natural look, you might want to give this a try!
