Oh, Glam Eyes Lash Flirt
(A mascara by Rimmel)
Cheap … but not sleazy.
Just seven dollars!
In two shades: Black and Kohl Black
On sale at drugstores.
Lashes like magic
Sprinkled in Miracle Grow
EFFING CRAZY LONG!
For mad length and lift
Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara
Lasts from dusk till dawn
Nekkid lashes
What’s Rimmel’s secret?
The air-whipped formula and
Carbon black pigment.
Is it perfect? No.
The brush is hard to use and
It can make a mess.
One layer
Each time I use it
Product ends up on my lids
It’s so annoying!
There’s also some flakes
And a bit of smudging too
Not a huge deal though…
Two layers
I still think it’s great
Especially for the price
It’s a drugstore gem.
To lengthen lashes
Give Rimmel Glam Eyes a try.
MBB Rating…
Three layers

P.S. We made it through Monday in one piece, babes, and I feel like celebrating! I think candy’s in order. Maybe a Blow-Pop or two. They have wacky flavors now like Blue Razzberry and Extreme Lemonade. Really, how extreme can lemonade be?? It’s lemonade!
P.P.S. Before you jet, beauty lover, check out the home page for more makeup reviews. 🙂

Catherine says
April 12th, 2010 at 9:13 pmLOL. I am really loving these haikus, Karen!!
This mascara looks really lovely actually. I’m impressed! The volume’s really not bad either, imo.
And omg I miss blow pops so much!!! I also have a ridiculous donut craving right now. Do you ever get those?
.-= Catherine’s last blog post… More Birthday Stuff LOL. =-.
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:37 amI do! What are your donut faves? I totally get taken over by Krispy Kreme cravings every so often.

April 12th, 2010 at 10:02 pmhey karen,

Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:35 amHi Lee,
That’s a GREAT mascara. I love it too! Have you tried their new High Lengths yet (the one with funny teeth)? It’s good for lengthening…

April 12th, 2010 at 10:18 pmI picked this mascara months ago but haven’t used it yet. Maybe I will crack it open soon. I have always liked the original glam eyes mascara, the one with the black and pink packaging. I find the wand quite easy to use because it is skinny. It makes my lashes long!

Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:30 amI haven’t tried that one. Does the wand have similar teeth to this one?
Lindsay says
April 12th, 2010 at 10:22 pmDannnggggggg your lashes are long! I love the Tabs pics that usually occur at the end of every post. It’s like a hidden cat treasure.

Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:27 amHi Lindsay,
Do you think you might try this mascara? I hope you give it a go!
bernadette says
April 12th, 2010 at 11:46 pmI am actually a big time fan of Rimmel Glam Eyes (the regular one) – I initially bought it because the packaging was cute (pink with a crown? yes, please!)…Rimmel actually has some great products for their price point. Kudos for showcasing this one! 🙂 Must try it now!

Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:33 amGive it a go! Let me know if you like it more/less than the original.
NINA says
April 13th, 2010 at 5:42 amExtreme Lemonade FTW!!!! Im glad we all made it thru Monday!
I had such a horrendous drive home – the freeway I take to get to our home was like a parking lot. I was disgraught when I got home – so distraught that I needed three pieces of those Easter Nerds that I got from Church. I felt better after that.
Im still in search for a mascara – maybe ill give Rimmel a shot – its on sale somewhere for 40% off …. 🙂
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:26 amTraffic makes me crabby too girl! You so aren’t the only one. Glad you got home in one piece though… candy is the great healer of crankiness, LOL!
NINA says
April 13th, 2010 at 9:08 amOh yes. Without candy a lot of us girls will just be nervous wrecks!!!
noemii says
April 13th, 2010 at 6:41 amwhooaa i totally bought that mascara yesterday at walgreens for three something dollars ! 50% off yo ! at walgreens .
cool beans .
i’m quite partial to the packaging ..
mm .
blowpops .
i wish they had never made them with icky chocolate .
bubble gum is the way to go !
😀
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:24 amNot bad, Noemii! Gotta love a steal of a deal.
I didn’t know Blow Pops made pops with chocolate flavored centers. I always just assumed they were all gum… maybe you’re thinking of Tootsie Rolls?
noemii says
April 13th, 2010 at 8:31 pmYeah, Tootsie Roll Pops .
you know they got it from Blow Pops . Almost everything is identical except blow pops are Way cooler 🙂
I never wear mascara, so i thought spending six bucks on two mascaras isn’t bad, even if they do suck .lol.
my eyes are really sensitive to mascaras for some reason. plus, i wear glasses so i’ve never seen the point ..my friends about rip my head off when i say that hahaha
Kim says
April 13th, 2010 at 6:59 amGrape Blow Pops have been my go-to candy since I was a kid – we have an industrial sized box of them in our snack drawer right now (and suspiciously, all the grape are long gone).
Oh, and your lashes look great too!
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:22 amI like the old school flavors too. Give me a Cherry one any ol’ day!!
gio says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:01 amYour lashes look amazing and so long! Looks like the mascara gives some volume too. I think I need to check this out.
Love these haikus!
.-= gio’s last blog post… Sunday Beauty Reads, 11/04/10 =-.
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:20 amYes, the volume is pretty darn good. What’s amazing to me is that it’s so affordable, too! Gotta love that.
mkdallas says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:08 amKaren, your lashes look like paintbrushes, lol! You don’t even need mascara, dang it. Loving the haikus and as always, the pics of his Royal Hawtness Tabs make my day. I’m sure he’d prefer his blowpop to be gravy-flavored.
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:19 amTotally! It would gravy flavored with a crunchy Friskies Signature Blend center. 😀
DallasBrownEyes says
April 13th, 2010 at 7:56 amWow, that is some amazing stuff! You go, girl!!!
What is the difference between ‘black’ and ‘kohl black’?
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:27 pmI haven’t seen the Black shade so I can’t really say. Has anybody else here used the Black color?
lexi says
April 13th, 2010 at 8:14 amCool – I was interested in picking up a good drugstore tube of mascara once I’m finished with my plush lash. I’ll have to check this one out.
Don’t you know a product isn’t fun unless it’s branded ‘EXTREME’?? Extreme lemonade? That better be so sour that I pucker until my forehead caves in…
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:28 pmI think after you get the hang of the brush you’ll like this. 🙂
Ergh, I sniffed the Lemonade one last night but couldn’t get myself to go there (wasn’t in a sour mood).
Aniela says
April 13th, 2010 at 8:17 amYou have amazing lashes Karen, I swear when I saw the first pic sans mascara I thought you actually had mascara on..and I was like wow thats pretty good lol
love the haikus btw…i just wrote one for my bf a few weeks ago since he didnt even believe that i knew what a haiku was…the nERVE!
anyways, tabs looks like a qt pie as always:)
have an awesome day K!

April 13th, 2010 at 1:29 pmHi Aniela,
That’s so sweet that you wrote something for your BF. He better cherish that!!
Hope you’re having a lovely Tuesday!
Glosslizard says
April 13th, 2010 at 8:44 amI finally splurged on a Sonia Kashuk lash brush (the snazzy kind with the long, contoured black handle) and all I can say is… why did it take me so flippin’ long?!? This thing separates my lashes like nothing I’ve ever tried before! I think it’s the extra-long metal teeth! I think it’s the perfect partner for the oh-so-affordable Rimmel mascaras (which are extending my time between pricey mascaras while not supplanting my deep-seated affections for Chanel and Armani)!
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:30 pmHi Glosslizard,
What other Rimmel mascaras have you tried? Can you recommend any other good ones?
Glosslizard says
April 13th, 2010 at 9:23 pmI recently tried Rimmel’s Lash Maxxx (yah, lots of x’s!) waterproof, and their Maxx (only two this time) Volume Flash mascaras. I thought both were very good in terms of lash appearance and were pretty long-lasting! I like Volume Flash better in terms of performance, but Lash Maxxx is nice because I hate spending a lot on waterproof mascaras! Not much clumping or smudging, but neither were really good in terms of pigmentation! All in all, great for the price, but not enough to wean me off of pricier options when I have the cash! 🙂
Kathryn says
April 13th, 2010 at 11:29 amI actually tried the Extreme Lemonade Blow-Pop and it was so sour I couldn’t finish eating it! haha.
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:30 pmYowza! I probably wouldn’t be able to handle it. I like sour… but not too sour!
Marce says
April 13th, 2010 at 11:56 amLOL Tabs looks as though he might kill if someone takes away those Blow-Pops!
I love this mascara, I have good luck with Rimmel London! I tried this ages ago and loved it, it gives me volume and length, though the wand is weird, like you say. But for the price, I’ll have two, thanks! (No haiku for you today, I had a mouthful to say) 😀
.-= Marce’s last blog post… Lo Nuevo en Makeup: Revista Oh La Lá! =-.
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:31 pmI’m glad it’s not just me who finds the wand weird. Do you end up with product all over your lids, too?
T says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:03 pmI have sudden urge
To respond in haiku too
Haiku rhymes with too
That Rimmel ‘scara
Makes your lashes so so long
It is beautiful
Wish Rite Aid would have
A BoGo sale already
I’d pick this up, yo
Did sweet Tabs at least
Share some of those lollipops
With Miss long lashes?
I bow down to you
My Haiku lovin’ goddess
Signed, Haiku challenged
Karen says
April 13th, 2010 at 1:33 pmT, you freaking rock
Love your haikus; they’re so great
Tabs sends you kisses
Meghan says
April 13th, 2010 at 2:41 pmI absolutely adore rimmel glameyes mascara!
Francesca says
April 13th, 2010 at 4:53 pmKaren, what’s your favorite drugstore mascara?

Tatiana says
April 13th, 2010 at 4:59 pmi’ve actually been using this mascara for awhile and i think it’s pretty good. it does a great job separating my lashes and defining them. i agree with your rating karen 🙂
but i’m waiting for it to run out so i can go buy diorshow! yaaaaaaaaaa.
Tiera says
April 13th, 2010 at 5:54 pmHi Karen! I had the original Glam’Eyes formula sometime last year and the thing I really didn’t like about it was how flimsy the applicator was. Is that what made the brush difficult for you to use? It so I think I’ll have to take a pass on this one… It does make your lashes look fab though!

elle says
April 13th, 2010 at 10:04 pmI like this mascara too, but I always stab myself in the eye with the brush. Not to mention it takes forever to dry. I think your lashes look best with one coat. Have a nice week

Cat says
April 21st, 2010 at 1:20 amWHOA! This mascara looks freaking amazing on you! I have this mascara too but unfortunately, it the most I’ve ever seen a mascara de-curl my lashes aaand bend the tips of my lashes in really weird directions :-P. I love the brush though!
laura says
September 10th, 2010 at 3:46 pmI just stop using this and switch to Revitalash mascara so far its doing good!
