Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara Review

I got a great deal last week, with the sale at Walgreen's and my coupon my Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara was only .49.  I hadn't use Rimmel before, but a friend of mine was all excited about getting it with her coupon, so I thought< "Hey why not, I need mascara anyway." 

I was so disappointed with Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara.  The first application was ok, but I couldn't get it to come off! Not by washing my face, not by using a combination make up remover and facial cleaner, not even using Vaseline.  I ended up having to pull it off my eyelashes so I could start fresh. 

After a couple of days of use of Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara I not only was not getting the amazingly long look results I had hoped for, but my eye lids at the point closest to my eyelashes were red and irritated. They itched.  So not only am I stuck with this on my eyelashes but now it's itchy and irritated too. 

A few "notes" on Rimmel London Eye Magnifier Eye Opening Mascara;

• at first I thought the comb like brush that has some "give" would make application easier and it does,  I think it's the mascara that is difficult to apply 
• I can't put a second coat on, one coat is not enough, I was no blessed with long lashes that just need a little help so a second coat is needed. The first coat dries and clumps quickly leaving me no way to apply a second. 
• the irritated eye thing comes and goes, but I have already purchased a different Rimmel (look forward to that review) with a different coupon. Hopefully I will have better results with the other brand of Rimmel Mascara. 
• My eyelashes are hard! It dries like cement and not only can I not get it off, but no one is going to want me to be fluttering these babies anywhere near them!
