Rimmel London ScandalEyes Volume on Demand Reviews

I received this mascara as part of a trial - in black. This mascara isn't much to look at but it does a great job at giving volume to my lashes and not clumping despite me applying 3 layers. The brush was easy to use and gripped well to my lashes and my lashes felt soft and comfortable. By the middle of the day some of the mascara had transferred to beneath my eyes but that usually happens with all non-waterproof mascara for me.

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.

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 don't think I've ever not liked a Rimmel product, and this mascara is no exception. They're great performers at a really good price point.

The packaging is pretty - a bright coral red, and nice and chubby like many of the 'volume' based mascara's these days. The brush on the wand itself is abundant in bristles and tapered at the end for corner lashes (which works well).

I received the 'Black' colour - and understand there's a waterproof version of this too. The mascara applies nicely - lashes separated, and no clumps of product. Volume is good - I think the fact that the spoolly does such a good job separating you get that immediate look of more lashes. Length and curl of lashes is good too. It dries relatively fast, and you can keep applying more mascara for volume, but you can feel the brush getting a little stuck if you're reapplying well after drying time - and you lose the lash separation. One coat is a really nice natural look for me, so while I did try building on it - it looks more natural with less 'building'. Wear through the day is good. I'm an eye-rubber, so there was some smudging - but this wasn't the waterproof formula, so I'd expect that. It wasn't really bad smudging like I experience with others, and it was very easy to tidy up. My mascara lasted all day, and the volume was maintained too. It does fade a little (again - I rub my eyes a lot) but for the most part it looked as it did at the start of the day

End of the day, I needed eye makeup remover to fully remove mascara, as simple cleansing wasn't enough (panda eyes 1st thing in the morning, if just cleansing).

Much like many of the Rimmel mascara's its a good performer. I'd be keen to try the waterproof formula when this one is up for replacement.

Thanks lovely BR ladies for providing the opportunity to trial/review this product

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 was lucky enough to be selected by BR to trial this mascara. I usually struggle with new mascaras since they have heaps of product in them and I end up getting it everywhere. This mascara did not do that to me!! I was able to apply it, get great results and not end up with big black rings around my eyes. The application brush for this mascara is a great shape. It also absolutely lives up to it's promise and makes your lashes look juicy and fat. If you want a mascara that's going to add volume to your lashes I can't recommend this enough. This mascara lasts well all day and doesn't rub off of drop little bits. It's also easy to get off with my usual removal method (makeup wipes). All in all I'm super impressed with this mascara. Easy to apply and get a great look, wears well and it's easy to get off at the end of the day. I might have found my new fave and I'll be purchasing a second one for my gym bag.

This mascara made my eyelashes look fabulous!

This mascara wand was lovely and big, which I personally love so it did not disappoint! It was also able to separate and coat all of the lashes easily. I think it actually did more to the length of my lashes as opposed to volume, which is fine for me as I personally am always trying to get lengthier lashes! Don’t get me wrong though, the volume of this mascara is also awesome, it did give me the look effect that I had falsies on.

The mascara is great in that it not flake, doesn’t feel heavy on the lashes and also it was relatively easy to take off with my makeup remover wipes.

The mascara claims to be buildable which it is, I managed to apply 2 coats of mascara with no issue of clumping. Formula is good in that it wasn’t so wet that if I sneezed (I seem to need to do this every time I put mascara on!) it did not end up transferring onto my skin, and it wasn’t too dry either.

My lashes stayed relatively soft also, didn’t feel hard and brittle like some mascara’s do, particularly after a couple of coats.

I guess one downside for me is the packaging, I just find it bulky and also boring….I do like products that sit pretty in my bathroom! But again, for the cost factor of this mascara and the results, I would definitely be willing to repurchase, and also recommend to my friends who are after reasonable priced mascara that delivers the goods!

I found this mascara not great but not bad.

I definitely wouldn’t call it a volumising mascara as it says it is - you would need a LOT of layers to get dramatic volume. It does however layer really well like it says without clumping at all. However I really don’t like the feeling of anything more than two coats (but if you love to layer then you’d probably love this).

The wand is bigger than the typical mascara wand and has a thicker base end. It does make it quite easy to apply, especially using the thinner end on the lower lashes.

It didn’t smudge onto my lower lash line either which is always a bonus.

I dunno, I found it a bit ho hum. Probably a good mascara for someone looking for nothing to drastic with just one layer or as I said, if you’re happy to do several coats to get the volume.

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
