My latest drugstore find is Rimmel Glam’Eyes Mascara.
Packaged in an uber sexy black and pale pink tube with a fishnet stocking-looking cap, it has a thin, comb-like VolumFlex brush that comes with “extra supple, ultra-fine elasto-bristles with 2 short sides for lash building and 2 longer sides for flawless separation” for up to 10 times lash intensity.
Compared to other mascaras, the brush feels a lot softer and bendier (it literally feels like you can break it), but it works really well if you are trying to get to the root of your lashes. It is also great for adding length and volume without clumping.
The formula itself is very smooth and feels slightly runny. I love how it darkens and intensifies my lashes with just a few coats. It also dries fairly quickly and you can keep applying to build up the intensity. Plus even though it washes off really easily with warm water, it barely flakes and stays on all day.
Overall, I like this mascara a lot and will definitely repurchase when I run out.
Glam’Eyes Mascara is available in 2 shades – Black and Extreme Black – at drugstores nationwide for $5.99.

I’ll have to give this one a try. Has anyone ever tried Mabelline’s Define-a-Lash mascara?? I heard that works really well too, but haven’t tried it yet.

Stephanie, I did not need to use a lash comb with this – this baby barely clumps.

glam’eyes mascara is also available in brown black- the colour i have.
this mascara didn’t really do much for me, it separated my lashes, but did not really lengthen or volumnize it. perhaps it’s my thin eyelashes. pretty packaging though.

After reading your review, I went out and got some. I love it! I usually use estee lauder projectionist mascara, but I definitely choose Glam eyes over it.

Cyrell: I’ve tried the Mabelline’s Define-a-Lash mascara, I think itès alright especially for the price. The small bristles really get into the small lashes. It didn’t clump, the color intensify with each coat. It dries pretty fast as well. But you need to curl your lashes 1st if you want a bit of volum; it lengthen my short lashes though. There’s a little smell, but if you can bear it, then the mascara is pretty good.

My problem with mascaras is that they always look so dry on me, I want the wet and fresh look! I’ll try this one.
