I recently tested the Rimmel ScandalEyes Show Off Mascara in the shade Extreme Black. This mascara is a fiber formula, meant to lengthen lashes and this particular mascara also says it gives you lots of volume. Length and volume; sounds like my kind of mascara! What did I think? Check out my full review below and all the info after the pics!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Show Off Mascara is a fiber formula that lengthens lashes with a breakthrough brush. The flat side build for va-va-voom volume, while the ball tip lifts and curls lashes. Flake-proof, smudge-proof formula that lasts morning to night!
Available in two shades: Black and Extreme Black. I have this in Extreme Black, because well why not? If you're going to go black, go extreme, haha. But seriously, I like rich, deep, intense black mascaras so of course I'm going to pick the one that is the richest black they have!
This mascara is a drier formula, which I know some people prefer - but don't think it's dried out when you get it. Some mascaras are just drier formulas, that's all. It goes on nicely with no real clumps - although there were some micro clumps, but not really detectable and something you could easily take care of with a mascara comb (I left any micro clumps in for the before & after pics).
It does a nice job at lengthening, but I don't find it to really add volume. For a fiber formula, I find this goes on nicely. Some fiber formulas can be a bit messy, and even really wet, but this one really wasn't messy or wet. The fiber formula I think is the reason for the nice lengthening effect it gives your lashes, but I wouldn't consider this a volume mascara at all.
One thing I really liked about it is it separates your lashes really nicely. I think this is a mascara that would layer nicely with other mascaras.... use this one for lengthening after you use your favorite volumizing mascara. That's what I plan to do with this until it's used up/past it's good use. I don't think this is a bad mascara by any means, but I don't think it's amazing either. For me, this is a natural-look mascara when used alone.
I'd recommend this if you're looking for a lengthening mascara that separates your lashes nicely and looks natural but still makes your lashes pretty.
