Ever since I have started to wear makeup, mascara has always been one product that I am a bit more experimental with. I have tried and tested a whole range of mascaras across many of the drugstore brands and one of which I find myself returning to is Rimmel London.
Whilst shopping in Boots a few weeks ago, I noticed that they were giving away the Scandal Eyes Lycra Flex mascara for free when you spent over £10 on other Rimmel products. This gave me the perfect opportunity to a) Get a free mascara, b) Buy even more makeup products and c) Test out a mascara that I had never previously used.
I am a massive fan of the Rimmel Scandal Eyes mascara, with the bright orange packaging and so immediately this product seems like an extension of the original. Instead of the neon orange packaging, Rimmel have gone for this bright neon green which certainly stands out in my makeup bag. I really like the shape of this product and I think the colours work well together, making the product a bit more fun.
It is also extremely well priced, at only £6.99 from Boots and this is around the same price range as similar products making it really competitive.
To illustrate the effect the product has had on my eyes, I have taken a photo without any mascara on. The product applies so well and the brush is huge, creating so much volume once applied. I think the formula is also really nice, as it isn't clumpy and doesn't stick your lashes together. The product claims to only need one coat, but to make my lashes really voluminous and full I do need to apply a few coats.
One criticism that I do have of the product however is that I find it can take longer to dry than other mascaras out there. This means that I do get the annoying bits of excess mascara on my lids which is annoying when I have eyeshadow on and need to carefully remove it without ruining the rest of my makeup.

I think I do prefer this product to the original Rimmel Scandal Eyes, purely because I think you get a better product for around the same price and you can tell the difference between the two products. However, I'm still not sure if this mascara will beat Maybelline Falsies as my favourite, purely because I think the Maybelline mascara still makes my lashes longer.
The pictures above and below show the effect the mascara has on my lashes. It is a lovely mascara and definitely a steal at the price you pay. It can be easily worn everyday and it certainly lasts all day yet removes so easily with makeup wipes at the end of the day. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a new mascara wanting to try something different.
