When i first used this product i was amazed with the length of my eyelashes, i didnt have to add more then one coat, i didnt have to use my eyelash curlers either. The price is not bad for something like this, however i would not purchase this product again, after my third day of using it, it seems to have gone clumpy/lumpy, which means i have to use a different brush to get the clumpyness out of my lashes.

I really love this product and would recommend it to anyone. Using an eyelash curler only emphasises your eyes that much more.

Simply adore this product. I needed to find the best mascara that gives great volume and I cannot begin to describe how glad I am I chose this one.

Great lash extender, waterproof and truly lives up to its reputation of scandalous eyes

The Rimmel Scandal mascara comes in a super cute bright orange packaging. The shape of the mascara is much larger than the other Rimmel mascaras that are currently on sale, as the definitive characteristic of this mascara is the massive brush. For those who are use to much smaller mascara brushes, it may take a few times to get use to using such a big brush, but what I like is that it applies the product evenly across the lashes. This mascara does not clump on me even after applying a few coats. I like that the consistency of the product is not too dry or too liquidy, and the black is intense. It really enhances the length and thickness of lashes without the drama of clumps.

I did however notice that it was very difficult applying this mascara to my lower lashes, as my lashes are short.

Overall, this is a good mascara that is more affordable than other drugstore brands. This mascara retails for R89.99 compared to R100+ for other mascaras. The packaging is cute, the big brush is great for an even, clumpless application. A good few coats of this baby will finish up any rocking eye makeup look!

For someone, that doesn’t wear make-up often, I want something that makes it easier for me. Usually I spend about half an hour applying mascara, because I hate clumpy spider eyes! I found my go-to brand (won’t mention it here) and I stuck with it. When trying out the ScandalEyes Mascara, I had the same problem as always...getting out clumps! The brush is really huge, and for me it’s hard to apply the mascara without smudging everywhere. One thing I did notice though is that there is no heavy feeling after you applied the mascara. It felt really light, and I could where it all day without my eyes itching. So I don’t think it will be a problem for ladies with sensitive eyes. But for me, I just don’t like the spider eye look!

I found this mascara brush a bit difficult to use, the brush seems too large (I might get used to it after a while). I also felt that the mascara took a bit long to dry. The mascara its self is very creamy compared to what I have been using this allowed for easy application and minimal clumping, but also resulted in a creamy blob at the end of the brush, increasing the chances of errors! I have long thick eye lashes already, and felt that the bristles on the brush were just too soft and did not support my eye lashes the way it probably should. I enjoy the fact that the mascara stays on! No flacking, no smudging and after a day at work it looked like my mascara was just applied! The formula of the mascara is amazing! It feels light on my eye lashes, it does not weigh my eye lashes down, if I touch my lashes they feel soft and smooth and I love it! My mother also gave this mascara a go, but she did not enjoy using this mascara due to the fact that she has really puffy eye lids and the brush was just to big :( BUT, she loves what it does for my eyes ;) they really do look sculpted and healthy!

The packaging on this baby is hard to miss. It's huge and almost glow in the dark orange. The maxdensity brush is also 50% larger and thicker. This has proven to be a problem for some, but I actually like how the brush really coats each and every lash. But yes, you need to be a bit more careful and patient when you use this massive wand or you might end up with black goo all over your eyelid.

Okay, so Rimmel claims this mascara has 3x the collagen (for plump, sculpted lashes) and 3x the keratin (for strong, healthy lashes). They also mention that this brush is more flexible and that the bristles flex in to deposit mascara and then flex out to comb through lashes. "Volume so loud your lashes will scream". I can definitely agree with a few of these points. My lashes look more noticeable, blacker, lengthened and there is added volume. The pic below shows it all. Now, there might be a bit of clumping if you apply too many coats or if you don't let each coat dry before applying the next coat. You can see in the pic that I experienced a bit of clumping, but it does hold a nice curl.

Like most mascara's this wand collects quite a bit of goop at the end of the brush, but cause of it's significant size that goop is multiplied. This can be annoying for some and if left on the brush you'll be guaranteed a clumpy look. I love the length this mascara gives me and I haven't noticed any flaking during the day. If you don't layer this too much then your lashes will still feel pretty soft and not crunchy or hard. This is a wet formula mascara so that's why it's integral that you let each layer dry before applying more. I have fairly long lashes naturally so my results might be different to yours. But one things for sure this mascara makes an impact by making your lashes super black.

The packaging is super easy to spot in your makeup bag and the tube and brush are massive. I compared the size of the scandal 'eyes mascara to another Rimmel mascara I have. (Glam'Eyes Day 2 Night) and as you can see from the pic it's quite a considerable difference. The tube also has a nice seal on it so it locks everything in and your mascara stays 'fresh' for longer. This tube also contains a whopping 12ml of product, which is alot more than an average mascara which on average contains 9ml. Overall I really love the results this mascara gives and for only R89,95 it isn't going to break the bank.

Hi everyone. I was quite intrigued about the “scandal and mystery” of the build-up to this product release and when I found out it was for mascara I was thrilled. Mascara is the one beauty product I cannot live without and I am always trying new brands to see if their claims match up to expectations. I have been using Rimmel scandal eyes mascara every day for two weeks now so that I can bring to you a full and fair review.

My first impression of the product before I used it was “WOW” this is bold. I was hoping that the packaging would be representative of the products claims of creating shaped, plumped and exaggerated lashes. The florescent orange colour is attention grabbing and it would definitely draw my eye straight to this product amongst others. The colour and bold size are fitting to what the product claims to offer. The name really stood out for me. I found the play on words very clever and relevant to the product and advertising aspect.

I used scandaleyes mascara for the first time on a night out. I really fell in love with the effect it gave when paired with some contouring eye makeup. It definitely gives a bold effect. Although the brush is quite large I personally felt quite comfortable using it. This may be because I am experienced with using makeup tools but this might feel a bit uncomfortable for your average user. The formula worked well on my lashes. I did not experience too much clumping although I do feel that any mascara claiming to be completely clump free is far-fetched. The formula is thicker than usual and may feel a bit heavy for anyone who doesn’t use mascara too often but I found it to be quite comfortable and wearable

The formula contains keratin and collagen for healthy and strong lashes. Throughout the two weeks of using the mascara my lashes do feel marginally stronger and thicker. One thing I can say is that it definitely hasn’t affected my lashes negatively. I have not experienced any falling out lashes.

One coat is enough for a day time look and is great for anyone who is on the go and doesn’t have time to fuss over eye shadow and eyeliner. If you want to go all out for a night time look, apply two coats of the mascara, some bold eye shadow and loads of eyeliner

Overall I am impressed with this product and would recommend it to all my girlies. My only pointer is to bear in mind that we are all different and products work better for some than others, but at a price of only R89.95 it is worth the try. Hope you all enjoy this mascara as much as I do.

Happy scandalising!

It’s a great big intimidating brush at first... but it is so easy to use and easily coats all the lashes. As far as scandalous volumous coverage goes... I am not 100% sold.

For day to day natural (but better) looking dark lashes, this is perfect. Easy to apply and effective, the under R100 price tag is an added bonus. Often I buy mascara and am disappointed with the results, but this actually does a really good job, it just takes a few coats to get that thick glammy look.

I would recommend this product because it is so practical for day to day gorgeousness.
Rimmel Scandaleyes will fit in perfectly to a night (or day) of glamming :)

I am a mascara girl - there is no way that I can leave the house without a coating of mascara on my lashes. I'll forgo all other makeup but not my mascara. Needless to say I am always happy to try out new mascara.

My experience:

I’ve been using the mascara for almost a week now and thus far I have been incredibly impressed and happy with the results achieved. For once there is a mascara that isn’t promising far more than what it actually delivers. It’s not saying that you will get a false lash look but that with using this mascara you won’t really need to have flash lashes. In my opinion, it fulfils that claim – My lashes look great after 2 coats – beautifully lengthened and defined. But if you are after a full, dense look of hundreds of lashes this mascara does not do that. In my opinion I do not think (nor have I come across) any mascara that can take the limited lashes we naturally have and make them look the same as applying false eye lashes. What this mascara does do, is take what you have and make it look remarkably good. The bigger brush means that more of the product is picked up and applied to the lashes and this is what gives each lash a thicker look, creating the appearance of more lashes. The mascara itself is also a thick formula meaning that it gives the lashes a good coating and a person can easily build up more volume with more coats of mascara.

What I love:

There are no serious blatant lies in the advertising campaign - There immediately I am sold on this product. The product’s formula does not give my lashes a hard and brittle feeling. When applied my eyelashes feel soft and smooth. I can feel that there is product on my lashes but it does not weigh heavily on them and it’s hardly noticeable that there is something coating my lashes. The wand takes getting use to (because of its size) but it is phenomenal at it’s job of coating, separating and extending lashes leaving no clumps. I’ve only been using the mascara for just under a week now so I’ll have to wait and see how long lasting this effect will be. My past experience with mascaras has been that about 3 weeks into using a tube the clumping starts as the product begins to age and dry out.

What I dislike:

I can’t say that I am crazy about the packaging of the mascara. I am not a fan of orange so my opinion is completely biased. I personally like mascara tubes that have a touch of elegance or funkiness to them. I understand that the orange with black is suppose to draw a person’s attention to it on the shelves (I can’t think of any other mascara that has a bright orange tube) but personally I would probably reach for Rimmel’s The Max Volume Flash Mascara because the packaging of that is more funky – bright pink with gold print. The Scandal Eyes Mascara is however cheaper and that’s probably why the packaging is not as expensive looking and feeling as the other Rimmel
mascaras. I honestly can’t say that I have any other feelings of dislike or disappointment towards this product.

At only R89.95 this is an affordable mascara that delivers great results!
