Rimmel ScandalEYES Show Off Mascara Review

 

It's been years since I have used a Rimmel mascara, and I've been meaning to try them out again. this particular mascara caught my eye about a month and a half ago because of the fresh display. So I picked it up for $8.99.

 

FYI - I have blonde lashes, so I need a mascara that works overtime for me.

 

 

How do I say this nicely? I hate this mascara. This mascara was a total waste of money. I am so mad at myself for losing the receipt. I am never buying another Rimmel mascara again. Ok so done ranting, here is why I feel this way. This mascara adds zero volume to my lashes, zero curling, zero drama. Its almost like I'm applying nothing, except for the little bit of black on my sparse blonde lashes. I think the brush is mainly the problem, because the formula of the mascara is goopy, so you'd think it would it least make clumps in my lashes. But it doesn't even do that. It's just a total FLOP for me.

 

 

 

 The shade is in 003 Extreme Black. I always go for the darkest black shade a mascara is offered in and this was it for Rimmel.

 

I love the packaging on this mascara, bright pink with a curved handle and an imprinted crown logo. Adorable!

 

 

 The brush is very strange, it is an asymmetrical hourglass shape. I think the ball tip is supposed to be useful to apply mascara to the inner eye lashes. And it does help with that when I am applying this over false lashes. I can almost always make a mascara work for me if I don't like it on my upper lashes I can use it on my lower, or over false lashes. This is bearable over false lashes, but I wouldn't ever suggest for someone to buy this for any of those purposes. But since I'm stuck with it, I am trying to use it up over false lashes.

 

Skip this mascara and save $9!
