Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara
The rock star aesthetic of the Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves release didn't really grab me, but I'm not adverse to a bit of snakeskin so I was still pleased with how this chunky mascara tube looked. It's quite a lightweight plastic they've used which I think is great for travel, but takes away any luxe feeling that this product could have delivered as well. It's a super wet formula that I've been using for a few months now, and it hasn't seemed to dry up at all so that is something worth nothing if you are a fan of wet mascaras.
This definitely gives dramatic lashes, but my natural lashes are quite long and curled anyway so results may vary. I haven't had any problems with this smudging or smearing throughout the day, but I'll be damned if I don't splodge some on my eyelid at least once a week while applying it. A friend of mine began using this mascara at the same time as me and has mentioned that because it's so wet you have to watch out for splodges while applying it if you're prone to pulling faces in the mirror (guilty!) It's a nice deep black too which is a positive for me because I like dramatic lashes every day - no brown mascara au naturale over in the Bovary household!
Overall this is definitely a decent mascara but can get a little clumpy if you don't wipe the excess off on the rim with each use. I like the wavy 'broken heart' shaped wand (really, Rimmel?!) and the way it tucks in nicely to the root of my lashes. I've actually just repurchased this as I found it on an amazing discount, but it is still a few steps below my beloved Covergirl Clump Crusher in the ultimate mascara stakes.
I need some new mascara recommendations, it has been too long since I bought a new formula! What are you using right now and how do you like your lashes?
Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves mascara retails for $16.95 AUD (currently on promotion at Priceline for $8.47 until July 16th)

I've had crap luck with rimmel's mascaras so I've not purchased any new ones from them the last two years. I love the shape of the brush but yes, the name is so ridiculous!!
ReplyDeleteOh that's no good, I've only tried a handful and most have been alright but not my favourites.
DeleteI've got the Retro Glam and like it pretty much. I haven't noticed this one, but I couldn't deal with that brush lol. I
ReplyDeleteRetro Glam is an awesome name - the brush isn't the worst I've used but definitely different!
DeleteI have this, I think it's ok,nothing outstanding but not rubbish either. The brush freaked me out a bit to begin with. I use it for everyday mascara as it makes my lashes look naturally long and thick.
ReplyDeleteagree with your comments, I find it clumps a bit too much to be my everyday mascara but I like how it makes my lashes look!
