Rimmel's Scandal Eye Show Off Mascara






Today I thought I'd share with you my most recent and favourite beauty pick up, Rimmel London's 'Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara'. It's no secret that mascara is an essential in every girls make up bag, weather it's the only thing rattling around in it or among many other beauty favs but if your a huge fan (like me) of trying out new mascaras then this one should defiantly be in your collection, you won't regret buying it. 

I purchased this mascara for it's introduction price of £4.99 at Morrisons and to be honest that's cheaper than the majority of mascaras in my collection, and once you see the results yourself the price tag screams bargain! I'm sure you can pick this up for the same price in places like boots, superdrug ect. What drew me to try this mascara wasn't just the stand out hot pink packaging but was the unique ball type brush, it claims to define volume, lift and lengthen. It does just that, see for yourself.

Lashes before application 

Lashes after application 

First I use my eyelash curlers to really open up my eyes, pressing them for around 5 seconds, and then quickly after I apply my mascara. I'm pretty lucky as my lashes are naturally quite long but need a little help in volume/thickness, which the ball brush is really handy as it gets them right from the roots. 
I apply mascara like normal mainly to my top lashes and only a few strokes to my bottoms ones as this helps them to look longer and fuller. I use the flat brush all over and then used the ball part more towards the outer lashes as they need more defining. Overall you get a good amount of product spread across your lashes without the look of clumps and you defiantly don't get flaky bits gather under your eye like some mascaras do, they just look as natural but scandalous as ever.

I would defiantly recommend this Rimmel mascara whilst still at it's introduction price, less than a fiver!! Seriously girls get your hands on this and get scandal lashes now, you'll love showing them off.



Tip: Don't pump your mascara as it tends to dry them out quicker.
Tip: When using eyelash curlers, heat them a little before use as they tend to work better.


So there we have it, my review on Rimmel's 'Scandal Eyes Show Off Mascara' and once empty I will be restocking. Hope you've all had a great weekend, have you tried this mascara or would you purchase it??
