Rimmel Volume Extend Mascara

I consider this mascara to be one of Rimmel's better products. It is a double ended design originally produced by Bourjois, but a couple of years after their Coup de Theatre mascara was available, presumably their patent expired and now you can buy versions from many of the major brands, including Rimmel. There are brushes at each end of the tube, one in white liquid and one in black, or brown-black liquid, depending on which shade you buy. It is available in a waterproof version, but I would not bother paying the extra couple of pounds for that because it's not really waterproof. It does survive crying, but how often do you cry with mascara on? Unless this is ...  Read the complete review

I have used Coup De Theatre mascara for years and when it ran out the last time I went through two stupid buying mistakes, this being one of them, then closely followed by me buying another dud in the form of Maixi Frange by Bourjois which is detailed in another review. I went along to my local Superdrug intending to buy my usual, well loved mascara but like most women do, I looked through the other make up and noticed this red and white packaged mascara. Seeing that it was double ended and similar to the Bourjois version but cheaper, I thought well why not! Anything to save a few quid! I spend too much as it is so a couple of pounds left over is a bargain in ...  Read the complete review

Rimmel Volume Extend Mascara is one funny looking shape that can cause confusion on its actual purpose. Is part burgundy part white, the burgundy part makes me wish I actually had a lipstick in that shade. This tube is double ended: at one end it has a white product with a brush, and at other end the usual black stuff you would expect with any mascara. To open it you would think you have to unscrew it but no, you actually pull it. It can take a while to get use to it, be careful as it might even cause an accident. Over time with a few uses when you close it back it might squeeze some colour out of the tube so make sure you keep it clean. I got the say is not ...  Read the complete review

I bought this mascara as I wanted to try out his new mascara and see if its claims that it adds volume and length to your eyelashes were true. The mascara looked quite funky as it was a nice deep berry red colour for half and white o the other end, this made it stand out on the shelves and therefore was the reason I picked it up and began even more interigued when I found there were two mascara brushes on either end. On opening I found that one was white and the other was black. I got this home and instantly wanted to try it out. Firstly you need to apply the white over your eyelashes, and so I did so. It went on nice and easily and I have to say ...  Read the complete review

I originally bought this mascara, as I loved the idea of a mascara which added both length AND volume, rather than one or the other. However, all is not as great as it sounds with this mascara. Firstly I found that you have to apply the darker colour while the white is not still wet - but not quite dry either! If you apply while the white is still wet, it will come off onto the black brush, however if you wait until the white is dry, it can be quite hard to get the coverage from the black one over all the white, which can leave you with "interesting" zebra effect lashes! The second problem I found with this mascara is that applying it is quite time ...  Read the complete review
