Rimmel London ScandalEyes Volume on Demand Reviews

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.

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.

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’m a fan of Rimmel foundations and blush but this one I’m not too sure about as it doesn’t lengthen or bold my lashes as much as I like.

My eyes feel a little sensitive using this formula also. So although an affordable option it’s not my favourite at all.

I would not repurchase.

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.

I like my lashes really full and bold and this mascara didn't bring it. It goes on really nicely and doesn't clump as long as you only do a few coats. It'd be good for those who like a lighter every day wear mascara. It's not bad! It's just not what I'm looking for in a mascara!

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 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
