Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara is available all over the place! Rimmel is a very common drugstore brand over here in the UK. I've seen it at Boots, Superdrug, Tesco and Asda. I'm sure there are plenty of other stockists. Prices vary, but it's about £7.99.
It's shiny and purple. What more can I say?
This is an interesting wand and it's purple under the mascara. It's one of those flexible, rubber wands which are all over the place these days. The spikes (I can't say bristles, they really do look like tiny spikes) are quite small and vary in size over the wand. The wand looks like it's made of three balls, all connected together. I do find this quite hard to use. There's a lot more mascara in the grooves than at the balls so I end up applying too much mascara to some lashes, and not enough to others. Going over my lashes a few times in an attempt to even it our will give quite a clumpy effect.
Naked lashes!
It didn't curl my lashes a great deal. When I used an eyelash curler it did look better and did hold my curl for quite some time. If I take my time over application then I do get a nice, even coating. For me, this is not a mascara I can use in a rush. I get nice length on my lashes and a bit of volume. They are separated when I take my time but if I rush then I usually get clumps. The ball shape of the wand is useful for coating the very inner and outer lashes, along with the lower lashes.
I don't get any smearing or flaking issues but there is a waterproof version if you prefer. The tube of that is turquoise, not purple. This comes off easily enough with either my duo-layer eye makeup remover or cleansing oil.
