Before I begin this review, my apologies for the criteria that ciao have given me at the bottom. Bizarre choices but I had to fill them in order to publish the review. Must be the gremlins at work again.
I'm forever mislaying my mascaras, eyeliners etc, dashing to the shops to replenish them in a blind panic on a Friday for the weekend and then lo and behold I find the original one! Well you can never have enough make-up!
The choice of mascaras always makes me confused, I'm a very indecisive person so hate having so much choice, I generally buy one that is a middle of the road price.
~ Price ~
As of January 2006 this mascara cost £4.99 in Boots. I have had it before so know that it lasts a good 6 months although I do only wear it at weekends, never having the time or the inclination to apply mascara for work!
Plus the waterproof options which I don't need as I just NEVER cry on a night out!
~ Endless Length and Lift Mascara ~
I like the packaging / holder for this mascara. It is thin at the tip of the handle and gets wider and wider towards the bottom so it stands easily on it's base.
Not surprisingly, the lid is screw top and the section that fits in to your hand isn't too thin or thick so it's easy to apply the mascara.
I have naturally jet black eyelashes so don't need a mascara for colour but they aren't naturally exceptionally long so this mascara is great for lengthening them and giving them more definition.
The 'lift' part comes with technique! As you apply it lift / push the eyelashes up with the applicator section from the root to the tip, but I'm still not overly sure that this should be part of the name or selling point of the mascara as it isn't that effective.
The major plus for me is that the mascara has an anti-clogging formula. I just hate it when mascara clogs or I can see clogged mascara on someone else's eyelashes. You just don't get it with this which means that you can also reapply it at a later stage of the day or night, although I have never had to do this.
It is also easily taken off with the old eye make-up remover so you don't get big panda eyes the next morning, unless that is, you have forgotten to remove it the night before, not the fault of Rimmel though!
I am thus far 100% satisfied with this mascara in terms of it's lengthening and anti-clogging attributes.
Not sure where the endless comes in to it. My eyelashes do have an end point and I'm sure that the mascara will come to an end eventually....perhaps the reference to endless is that it lasts all night long and there's no need to re-apply!
AGAIN, IGNORE THE SPECIFIC CRITERIA BELOW, HAVE NO IDEA WHY I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THESE FOR A MASCARA, UNLESS CIAO KNOW SOMETHING I DON'T!!

I bought these as they are on offer. I don't wear mascara and found these to be a bit full on and fake - ish. Maybe because I'm not used to the way I look - Kupo x
