This is one of the purchases I made a few days ago. I will be honest with you, this is my second purchase of Rimmel brand. I wanted to give them another chance (my first purchase did not yield the results I thought they promised...as for this one--same deal) Moving on...
The Rimmel The Max Volumeflash mascara makes a few promises:
1. To provide 14x volume
2.mess free, clump free application
3.has collagen and keratin to nourish and strengthen the lash
Their claim is to make your eyelashes Thicker. I am going to show you my pictures and then you decided for yourself if their claim is true

My first issue: The Wand
The packaging made it seem it is going to be a nice Big wand. Quite the opposite, the wand is small. If you can look closely, the wand bristles are actually in a square form to "coat" all the lashes. I am not a fan of this wand, at all.
Mascara formula: I am having an issue with this. I thought the formula was supposed to thicken my lashes, instead it lengthened them. My lashes look like spider legs if I go over the 4 coats!!!! If this mascara was promoted for lengthening the lashes, then by gosh they nailed it. But this is not the case. And this formula clumps!!!!!! You cannot see it on the photos, but when I used this mascara yesterday....it clumped like there was no tomorrow. 4 hours later, I have mascara bits all over my cheeks!!!!! It also it makes my lashes feel drier (never experienced this with other mascaras)
Verdict?
Stay the hell out of this mascara. If you have naturally thick eyelashes, it may work for you. But lashes like mine......forget it about it! Buy at your own Risk!!!
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS
I am going to return this today.
