Rimmel ScandalEyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara Review

Guest post by Sarah from Not Your Average Beauty Blog

If there was a group for mascara addicts, I would be the leader. I never go anywhere without mascara and I am always on the hunt for the perfect mascara. In this quest to find the perfect mascara, I have tried a ton of mascara and know my way around a good mascara.

I picked up this Rimmel mascara because the brush looked interesting. This brush is supposedly shaped like a broken heart to hug the lash line. The thin tip of the brush is supposed to grab the hard tor each inner lashes. 

This mascara claims to give the lashes incredible volume and curve. This mascara is supposed to do all of this in one stroke and leave no clumps. 

I used this mascara until it was too dry to use anymore (and that says something). For starters, this mascara holds a curl like nobody’s business. I use a Tarte eyelash curler. This mascara held the curl for about 8 hours. It held the curl for even longer when I layered it over my Clinique Lash primer. 

The shape of the brush was a major plus in my books. The unique shape made it easy to get right down to the root of the lash. Also, the tip of the brush made it very easy to grad the tiny inner corner lashes. I also liked the shape because it helped create and hold the curl. 

Now for a few negatives about this mascara. First off, this mascara was not even close to clump free and it got worse the drier this mascara got. I also have to disagree with this mascara being a “one stroke” because I had to go over my lashes a couple times to get the effect that this mascara claimed to give. I also found that although the brush was great for the upper lashes, it was not good for the bottom ones. The brush was too big to really define the bottom lashes and I would get mascara on my under eye area. 

I do believe that this mascara is a great drugstore pick and I recommend it for anyone who is looking for an affordable mascara or a mascara that is going to hold a curl for a long time. 

What are your favorite mascaras, both drugstore and high end? Is anyone else a mascara addict like myself?

Stay beautiful,

Sarah
