Last week, reader Danielle E. was nice enough to share her thoughts about the purple shade in this collection (as well as some photos of her wearing it). Take a look:

A closer look at the wand

I picked up the purple shade and I'm loving it. It's a very bright vibrant purple shade - not a plum by any means (it leans blue, and although the color looks blue in the pic I sent, it's much purpler in real life).
I really liked the wand too. The skinny brush really helps you get to the base of the lashes and wiggle the color through until its coated your lashes. It's got a tapered tip so you can really get in the inner corners. Overall this was a great buy and I highly recommend them!!

Do you own any of the Rimmel Extra Pop Lash Mascaras? I'd love to know what you think of them.
Thanks so much, Danielle E., for the wonderful photos and insights. I truly appreciate it!
Oh god, now I want the colored mascaras. Danielle looks like she has a lot longer lashes than I do, but I'm impressed nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteShe looks great in the purple. I have not used Rimmel mascars before and I love this brush too. The purple on me is barely noticeably, but the blue one worked really for me. I also picked up the green, but haven't tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteDo you have dark or light lashes? I'm loving this!
ReplyDeleteHi Amber! Danielle here :) I have pretty dark, black lashes. I am wearing the purple here with no primer underneath. The purple is very noticeable and vibrant on my lashes - even from afar! I'm sure it would look even more vibrant and beautiful with a white lash primer underneath.
DeleteSweet! I picked it up today after seeing this post. I have darker lashes and was really dissapointed by the Maybelline ones so I'm excited to give this a try!
DeleteHoly crap! That is so pigmented! I'm not too sure how I feel about colored lashes full on, but I saw Melmphs on youtube apply these just on her lower lashline and I thought it was really cute!
ReplyDeleteOh! Purple heaven!
ReplyDeleteI'm very pleased with this review as I tried the Fantasy Makers purple mascara(should have grabbed pink)and was greatly disappointed. No pigmentation at all even with a white primer coat.
ReplyDeleteI snapped up the blue and green at my Kmart and when I tried them, I HAD to rush back to get backups of these. The green was out, so I snatched another blue and a purple.
They are amazing; not a very build-able or dramatic mascara in terms of making your lashes longer or go 'oomph,' but certainly in the pigmentation. The green is so bright and gives my pale blue eyes a lovely pop! Without eyeshadow, they give enough color without being overly bright or obvious-it doesn't look like costume makeup and works for everyday.
Definitely urge everyone to try at least one color-they are great for the price and quality.
Ooh, pretty! Danielle has lovely lashes!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I should've picked up the purple! I just posted a review of the turquoise on my blog which was nice but not as good as this!
ReplyDeleteI bought Pop Tourquoise and used it on top of my black mascara as more of an accent. It applied well over my already dry mascara there was alot of product on the brush so becareful to do a little wipe first or you may get clumps. The blue really really showed up!
ReplyDeleteI would rock that purple! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteI have to blue and the purple and they are both crazy pigmented. They wear well without smudging on the lower lashes as well. A great colored mascara if you're in the market and inexpensive to boot!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that purple is so pigmented! I'm liking the look of the brush too.
ReplyDeleteI own the maybelline hot pink great lash mascara and that has great pigmentation on my black eyelashes :). perhaps the cranberry shade is the issue :).
ReplyDeleteI have the blue and the purple and I love them! They make me look like I have fairy lashes. I wore the purple one to my brother's birthday party, and all the ladies went crazy over it. The gentlemen didn't even notice. Figures.
ReplyDeleteI picked up the turquoise just because I haven't seen turquoise mascara in ages and love it. I had to apply a few coats, which is normal for me, but the color really shows up. I think I'm going to get the purple and the green, too, for the fun of it.
ReplyDeleteWhoah! That's really good! I'm guessing the formula's a little dry (which I like) that makes the lashes look like that...Gimme!
ReplyDeletexx,

Her lashes are so lovely! I bought the purple, but I didn't notice much. Maybe it's time for me to invest in some lash primer.
ReplyDeleteI have the blue and dark lashes. The rimmel is amazing. Its works much better than the maybelline teal and purple color. I can tell a slight tint of color with the maybelline, but the rimmel is bright and really show up with or without primer and it last all day long.
ReplyDeleteI have all three colored ones and I have applied them with a primer/without/over top mascara and I'd have to say they were pigmented on all the different applications- I personally still would prob use these over top my regular mascara to give me more volume and length but overall I really really like them!, the green is prob the least one I'd wear since its not a color I would typically reach for also they look nice for used only on the bottom lashes too! ^_^
ReplyDeletethis looks awesome! Im going to have to pick one up because most colored mascaras, I find aren't very pigmented. This is a rare find! and, its drugstore so I don't have to spend a lot on it!
ReplyDeleteI have blonde lashes and the purple shows up only slightly...worth the 3.99
ReplyDeleteI got Pop Purple today at BigLots for $2.20 and I have to say, I'm not pleased with my purchase. It is sheer and chunky, and when compared to plain eyelashes, neither me nor my sister could tell the difference. Boo! I was really hoping it would be good- the streamlined container is adorable- but I guess this is going back to BigLots.
