I bought this rimmel volume flash mascara on Julipa on offer for £5.99 at the time that being more than 12 month ago. It came with a free rimmel eyeliner which was rubbish. The Rimmel waterproof volume flash mascara Is the only one I am using it and the same one I bought more than a year ago so this will be my first observation that it last a long time even when used every day. I also brush my eyebrows with it and it is lovely my eyebrows look like I've just been to the salon. It definitely is waterproof I personally tested it myself so thumbs up for this rimmel mascara please do try it it does what it says and it is not expensive. I never wore fake lashes so I am always looking for a mascara who will make miracles. This one doesn't make miracles but is the best I have tried by now.
