Rimmel London Wonder'Luxe Volume Mascara

I was excited to be a part of this trial team as I was in the need of a new mascara and was willing to try a new brand. First of all, I really liked the packaging. I thought it was sleek & stylish with the rose-gold colour and the curved/twisted shape. I also liked the curve of the wand and the promise that it would give you fuller, longer, lashes.

However, the first time I tried the mascara I found it was really clumpy, which caused a mess as I have short, fair eyelashes. The second time I used it, I took great care to avoid getting too much mascara on the wand, in an attempt to stop the clumping. As a result, I didn't get any clumps but I also felt that my lashes weren't highly defined.

Overall, l I found this mascara to be middle-of-the-road. It did make my blonde eyelashes stand out a bit more but it didn't live up to its claim of "a fan of longer, fuller, lashes". Perhaps if I had been genetically blessed with longer lashes I would see a difference.

Im not someone who usually wears mascara but after wearing this mascara i will definately use it more often easy to apply and makes my eyelashes look amazing. Love it

First of all the packaging of this mascara is gorgeous, I always love a beautiful rose gold sparkle! It is also very sturdy plastic. I love that the wand handle is angled making it easy to twist open & shut and made for an easy application. I found the wand tip to be bendy, which is the flimsy part for me as the wand bends when I try to push the sides to get rid of excess mascara. This didn't work so well so the wand had excess mascara after using a few days & would transfer clumps onto my lashes.

In saying that, this mascara gave my lashes full volume and made them stand out. My lashes were also very soft, they weren't entirely smooth like this mascara claims to give because of the clumps but after dabbing them with a tissue I loved the look of my lashes.

I don't usually notice the scent of mascara but I noticed this and noticed it was quite pleasant. This didn't come with any other packaging but on looking at the Rimmel website I see that it's infused with 4 "luxurious caring oils" - argan, maracuja, marula & camellia oils which is where I'm assuming the scent comes from.

I was quite impressed that I didn't have any fall out and no marks during the day. I did notice by the end of the day though my lashes seemed less volumised, and would recommend more application if you're heading out after work!

I enjoyed using this mascara. It does what it says it does but I did find that it did have some clumps and didn't seperate the lashes as much as I would have liked. However, that is not one of the claims that it would do that, so just something to be aware of.

Upon comparison, before and after mascara application, I did notice that my lashes were more noticeable and thicker. There were some clumps but mostly, my lashes were smooth. My lashes were also slightly longer after application. The mascara was also quite easy to apply and went on smoothly albeit a few clumps here and there and didn't sperate the lashes as much as I would have liked. The mascara has a soft, subtle and pleasant (to me) scent if you have it up close to your nose though there is sometimes a small waft when using. Overall, I did enjoy using it and after application of the mascara, you could definitely tell that mascara is used. My lashes were noticeably (slightly) longer and voluminsed.

Love the colour of the packaging for this mascara, the metallic packaging is super nice and with a slight curve in the packaging it makes it easy to hold.

I was super surprised when I checked out the wand on how skinny it was and was a little skeptical - however found it made the mascara super easy to apply and separated my upper and lower lashes really well.

The mascara definitely did not apply thick or clumpy and applied to the lashes really smoothly. It did take a few coats for me to get the volume benefits of the mascara, so definitely not my favourite mascara of all time, however for an affordable mascara I would look at repurchasing.

Colour was a good dark black colour too, and I found it didn't really smudge for me either which is a bonus!

Wand is curved which I loved as made it easy and flexible to apply to my lashes. I do however still prefer a bigger brush I think!

All and all a good mascara :)

I found the Rimmel Wonder'Luxe great to use. The curve of the wand gave my lashes just the right amount of coverage, going on smoothly without gluiness. I could use a single layer for daytime and then layer more mascara over the top for a fuller night time lash look. The pink pop of the packaging gave it an extra, fun edge for my make up purse.

The pink shiny tube is so pretty and girly. It makes me smile every time I use it!

The wand is quite thin, I'm used to fatter brushes, but the curve definitely catches all the lashes.

The mascara isn't too sticky or gloopy, nor too runny. I like that one coat is enough for a beautiful volumised lash-line, as I usually struggle getting a second coat on evenly.

This lasted the day and was easy to remove with micellar water. But it does smudge if you rub your eyes, and I probably couldn't use it when my hayfever kicks in, as I think I'd get panda eyes quite quickly.

But I would use and repurchase, and if there's a waterproof version, I'll be all over it!

This mascara is a great everyday mascara. It comes in a light mirrored pink tube that's just a little bit blingy!

The mascara liquid is a great consistency, it makes for a very even application. The brush is great for the zigzag move to leave lashes nicely seperated. It took a while to dry, but after the first use I knew to not blink for a while, so there was no further smudging.

This left my lashes with a slight curl and lots of volume.

I would repurchase this if i saw it again in store.

I have mixed feelings about this one - it definitely does give you volume but due to the comb design of the brush, you need to put on quite a few layers before you can really see the effects. The pro about this brush style though is that you avoid the clumpiness that can often come from bigger brushes. It wears quite well and is easy to remove, but for me I would prefer length over volume so this one wasn't really for me.

I have black lashes that aren’t thick but are probably medium in length. I like my mascara to add both volume and length to my lashes. This mascara was easy to apply and didn’t clump it have too much product on the wand. It was easy to comb through your lashes evenly and spread out your lashes. I applied two coats like normal and the result was a bold look. It lengthened my lashes but didn’t give my lashes as much volume as I would have liked. I will try doing three coats maybe.

This mascara lasted during the day and didn’t come off or flake off. It was also easy to remove. This mascara contains oil to boost the health of your lashes. I have been using this mascara for 1-2 weeks and have not noticed a difference in my lashes but I think it’s too early to notice anything.

The wand is made of a rubber type material that is flexible rather than have brush bristles. I prefer this type of wand (similar to the material of a benefit roller lash wand).

Packaging is a shiny metallic dusty pink tube that has flat angled sides. I like this tube as it not the typical round cylinder shape. I thought it would be awkward to hold but it’s not.

Overall this mascara is decent and really good for the price. I will continue to use this mascara but it’s not my favourite as I would like more volume in my lashes.
