Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara Review and Swatches

April 1, 2014

Latest from Rimmel London, we have ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara, an innovative mascara with an hourglass brush to plump lashes, fan them up and out for bold, wide-eyed volume.

Like the rest of the ScandalEyes mascaras, the ScandalEyes Retro Glam Mascara comes in a huge chubby tube. The black and white packaging has a’60s retro vibe that is very fitting for its name. There are 2 shades available – Black and Extreme Black – in both regular and waterproof versions.

At first, I was a little intimidated by the size of wand. That thing was HUGE and much bigger than what I would normally prefer. However, the hourglass shape – a smaller tip and bigger base – worked out quite nicely in getting those hard-to-reach lashes in the corners and really gave the outer lashes a lift. On the bottom lashes though, I would stick to mascaras with a longer, thinner wand like the Rimmel London Glam’Eyes Mascara.

The formula instantly added length and volume to my lashes without too much clumping. And like most of the Rimmel mascaras I have tried, it wore really well without flaking, smudging or running, yet washed off easily with warm water.
