Rimmel London Wonder'Luxe Volume Mascara

What a cute design! It’s a bulky, unique shaped mascara (probably twice the thickness of the usual mascaras you would see). It’s even coated in a pretty, shiny layer of chrome pink. So here you go pink lovers! The mascara was extremely light-weighted. Even though it’s bulkier than the usual mascara’s, it wouldn’t add much of a weight.

Taking out the wand itself, i noticed the curved applicator tip, and the fine comb-like bristles. The mascara itself seems to have a nice and smooth texture to it, which reminds me of the liquid eye liners. I didn’t see much of tiny black dusty bits or stringy fibres stuck to the bristle. It looked almost clump free, but never know until you try it on... So here it goes!

The comb-like bristles make it a lot easier to prevent too getting too many tiny bits on your lashes. Initially there was too much product on the brush, where i had to scrape it off on the sides of the tube few times. I have long, straight lashes of moderate thickness. The mascara highlighted the length of my lashes, making it more defined, but because my stubborn lashes that takes a lot of effort to curl, i didn’t expect much help from this mascara to keep the curl in shape. Although the mascara didn’t help keep my lashes curled, the mascara didn’t have a lot of the usual flakiness that you see in a lot of mascaras, due to it’s wet texture.

The mascara is buildable so not too difficult to add a more bulky look. However, if i brushed too many layers on my stubborn lashes, the more difficult for me to separate my lashes out, as the mascara builds in thickness rather than length, which straightens my lashes, and will add in that usual sticky tackiness when i blink my eyes, which i find quite uncomfortable. However, the mascara worked nicely on my thinner bottom lashes for some reason. Maybe due to my technique.

It is convenient and easy to remove even with just warm water. Yes, sorry water-proof mascara lovers.. This mascara is not waterproof. But looking on the bright side, It doesn’t adhere strongly to your skin, so it wont smudge out as bad as the usual mascaras that would give you an obvious panda eye when trying to remove your make up or any oopsies. I find removing waterproof eye make up really difficult. A lot of times after removing mascara, i had to scrub and wipe so hard that the skin around my eyes eventually turns red, but it’s not the case for this gentle one.

I love how Rimmel makes and keeps their products at an affordable price to customers. Although, this product wasn’t made for my lashes, i do like the more natural approach of this mascara, as it wasn’t too heavy. And i loved how there’s less flaky bits, as i always found it irritating trying to get rid of the tiny bits that gets into your eye. I wouldn’t recommend it to those who‘s loyal to a dry, fibrous mascara. But i do recommend this mascara for those who wants to further define their long, fine, and naturally curled lashes, but prefer the simple, minimal make up look.

I loved this mascara. When it arrived there was no packaging to comment on but the tube itself is lovely metallic pink colour and feels nice to hold, easy to open and stylish. The wand is one of the newer styles with the spread out rubber pronged head. The formula was a cood consistency and covered the brush well with minimal excess on the end or the wand, easily wiped back into the tube. Application is as easy as with any other mascara. I applied two coats for a great looking lash. Extra coats did make the base thick and dark but made the tips of my lashes look a little thicker than I'd prefer but that might be what others prefer. The writing says "Full bodied volume & Care Mascara", I've no idea if my lashes are better off for using this mascara but it's easy to remove, no scrubbing my eyes so I guess that helps with the 'care'. This mascara lasts really well throughout the day and doesn't seem to crack and flake under the eye. I have also slept in this mascara (as well as remove with Micellar water) and in the morning it had all flaked off but was an easy swipe with water and a cloth to clean up. I think this is a great day glam mascara and intend to wear it often. I don't think it gives the longest lashes but perhaps a coat or two of this with a coat of a lengthening mascara over the top and you'd have lashes to die for.

The thing I like most about this Mascara is how quick and easy it is to apply product. The brush coats lashes quickly, holds a nice curl, and gives you naturally fanned and longer lashes. The brush also makes it easy to tidy up any stuck lashes for an even full fan look.

Mascara staying power is very good. I normally have panda eyes with most mascaras, just oily lids or something. So I tend to use tubing formulas if I need a long wearing Mascara. However the Wonder'Luxe lasts well during the work day with minimal smudging. I was impressed!

Would recommend given this a go!

I was sent this Rimmel wonder’luxe mascara to trial. It comes in a metallic pinkish tube which I must say is very very light feeling. The brush has tiny bristles and the consistency of the mascara is very creamy which made it very easy to apply.

Because of the smooth consistency of the mascara it didn’t clump on my eyelashes and made them look so much longer. I also only need to dip the wand into the mascara once as plenty of product came onto the brush. I will continue to use this mascara as I really like it compared to the current mascara I’ve been using.
