A budget €3.47 mascara from Amazon has been praised by customers who say it “makes you look like you’ve got fake lashes on” - with some claiming it lasts for months.

Amazon's Rimmel Extra 3D Lash Volumising Mascara has seen almost 14,000 five-star ratings. The smudge-proof mascara is claimed to "lengthen and curl your lashes with zero clumps" and to have a very nourishing formula enriched with vitamin E gives lashes an “ultra-smooth film” for a healthy look.

Shoppers who were initially skeptical due to the low price said they were "blown away" with the quality of the product, saying it “doubles lash length.”

One Amazon customer said the product lasted her seven months, Manchester Evening News reported. She said: "I bought this because it was cheap and I needed something quick. However it’s actually really good quality, it makes my lashes super long and the lash stick is really good for getting between lashes. It has lasted me 7 months and honestly I would get it again. It’s amazing."

Another one wrote: "It's a thin wand so I didn't think I would like it, but it's great for lengthening. Actually looks like eyelash extensions."

A third person said they are convinced the mascara has helped their lashes grow. They said: "I used it a few times and I noticed my usually short eyelashes were starting to grow. I'm thinking how did that happen. I'm not even using anything to promote growth.

"A couple more weeks and and there's no doubt in my mind that this is what has made my lashes grow longer than they've ever been. It's very apparent there's a huge difference. So needless to say I will definitely be purchasing more of this. I'm so impressed by it.”

A customer called Eleanor said: "What's not to like. Great price, nice mascara, lengthens, does not clog, stays on all day, does not smudge. Excellent value. Would repurchase."

Another wrote: "I’m really impressed with this mascara. Doubles my lashes length, super black, it’s better than my max mascara in my opinion. Highly recommended."
