Overall quality: 5
Price value: 5 (i dont know how much it retails for, i bought it on ebay, got 2 for 10 bucks)
Packaging quality: 5
Buy again? oh heck yes

this thing is so precise with my lashes. it coats each one individually, and the wand makes it great to get at the base of your lashes and it holds your curl really well (at least for me). i admittedly bought this after seeing Pixiwoo use it a few times, and i'm a mascara junkie. i REALLY like this one.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I love this stuff too! I'm UK based and I think I got it on offer at boots for about £5, otherwise it is around £7. I have been using loreal telescopic previously which I liked as created great lenght, but this wasn't all that noticable because it didn't create a curve. Sexy curves however gives me great lenght and a lovely sexy curve, hehe!

I get the impression with this product that you either really love it, or completely despise it. I have seen so many reviews from people who hated it, luckily for me it works great. Money well spent!

Overall rating 4.5/5
Price 4/5
Packagaing 5/5 (I <3 rimmel's packagaing, v glam!)
Would buy again: Most certainly!

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

Thanks for the review! How is it as far as flaking/smudging, anything? I can't stand when mascaras do that..

Have you tried it with P+P Lash at all?

This one sounds nice tho.. I think I'll check it out when I'm done with my Maybelline Colossal (which is awesome too btw).

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

This product isn't waterproof (or at least I haven't seen a waterproof version) so it can smudge, but as long as you don't rub your eyes too much then you'll probably be fine. As for flaking I haven't had any problems, I don't ever wear more than 2 coats and can't say I notice any flaking.

I haven't actually tried prep + prime lash, would you reccomend it?

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

Great product. I too got this based on Pixiwoo's recommendation. The wand is really great for those with short lashes.

I bought this based on the recommendation that Sam gave on Pixiwoo's YouTube channel. I actually purchased it when it was on sale for 40% off at Walgreens. It usually retails for about $7-$8.

The first thing I noticed was the packaging. It's a metallic deep purple. Very pretty. The second thing I noticed was which the wand. I love it. It's silicone with short, fine, closely spaced bristles that undulate like waves. It's so cool looking. Once the mascara is done I will keep the brush and try it with some of the other mascaras I have.

The formula itself isn't bad. I didn't notice dramatically fuller lashes, which is usually my preference, but I did notice that the mascara lengthened my lashes quite a bit and curled them very well. As a result, I often use this mascara when I wear false lashes because I think it helps my lashes blend well. I didn't notice any issues with clumping and the formula does glide along your lashes without being too wet or too dry.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

Damn. You girls are totally tempting me with these reviews, it sounds awesome.

You know.. I actually had it in my hand today at the store, and then the little common sense voice came on in my head like "bitch, put down the DAMN mascara, you just bought a new one three days ago... the hell is wrong with you?"

I'm glad I didn't buy it instead of submitting to the enabling devil that sits on my other shoulder, lol. because i have like 3-4 mascaras that i'm rotating daily right now. hah

It's next on my list though!

I saw this mascara a while ago in the drugstores but didn't bother to try it out until I read all the good reviews on it. I bought one yesterday and I'm really impressed with the results. It gives me nice curls and lengthen my lashes. I hope they would come in waterproof formula.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I am using this one for the past month and I like it. It lengthens my lash and no clumps which is a plus.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I had issues with the brush - it could be poor technique though but I had problems with the bendy brush.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I just bought the waterproof formula 2 weeks ago and it is the best waterproof mascara I have ever tried. It doesn't smudge, it doesn't flake and it's long lasting! It can be removed easily with makeup remover. Love love love this mascara

I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and I like it. It definitely lengthens, but it doesn't really help with volume for me.. it's one of my go-to mascaras, but it's not my favorite. I'm still searching for the perfect one for my lashes!

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I actually didn't really like it. The bristles poked me, and I don't care for the brush design. The actual formula itsself didn't do much for me either, I didn't notice any volume which it promised, it was more of a "natural" mascara that just basically coats my lashes.

This mascara is next on my list. How is it for thickening the lashes? That's one of the major things I look for in a mascara.

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

Ha- I bought this based on pixiwoos recs too and I think its ok but not the best mascara in my collection - I was expecting great things from it and have to say I was a bit disappointed - maybe cos I was expecting it to be so fab

It doesn't smudge tho and does as good a job as my Laura Mercia or my Bad Gal lash with a couple of quotes - so not bad for less price

This is my fav by far! I love how it gives me a lot of product on my lashes without any clumping. I naturally have very light thin lashes but this gives me an amazing boost while still looking natural. I got it on sale for 3.99 CAD and can't wait to stock up for more!

Re: Rimmel Sexy Curves mascara

I used it for 3 months after watching Pixiwoo's review. I personally would give it an overall rating a 3.5/5 and the main reason being that it flakes after a couple of hours. I did not have any problems with the smudging and it did seperate my lashes well.

Overall quality: 2
Price value: 3 (here in the Netherlands its still pretty expensive)
Packaging quality: 5 (the packaging is really cute!)
Buy again? No

This really didn't do anything to my lashes, except maybe make them a little blacker and seperating them. The curl didn't last that long, and there was no lengthening or volume whatsoever.
I really didn't like it and threw it away after multiple uses. (failure!)
