Rimmel wonder'full mascara with argain oil

Rimmel Wonder'full mascara - £7.99

Whilst browsing the beauty section in Asda I come across the Rimmel wonder'full mascara which is infused with argan oil and it's supposed to make your eyelashes softer... and more healthy looking? I can personally say I have never looked at my eyelashes and thought "they don't look healthy today" it's generally not something that women tend to look out for and I haven't noticed that my eyelashes are any softer...

I didn't even look at the wand/bristles or read reviews before buying this which is extremely unlike me, so I was completely blind to this mascara when I bought it. I was sucked in by the 'wonder'FULL' as I wanted thick, full lashes and I found that I do quite like the brush as it's the shape I'm most drawn towards when buying a mascara but the formula didn't perform as well as I was hoping, mainly because I was expecting big, voluminous lashes and whilst this mascara does make my lashes look fuller it's on more of a natural scale which just wasn't what I was looking for. I got the black option and it's very black and doesn't flake off onto my cheeks like other mascara's I have tried which is a plus because that's definitely not a good look. at all. This is a good mascara in the sense that it doesn't transfer under my eyes or onto my eyelids but I just had higher hopes for it. I don't really think there's much to say about this mascara as it's pretty average compared to others that I have tried, like I said it isn't a bad mascara by any means it just wasn't what I was looking for. 

Do you have any mascara recommendations for BIG, full and long lashes?

First of all, I'm finding it quite hard to believe that these photos were taken in my bathroom, in natural light on my plastic window ledge?! Looks like I have found a new place to photography products! ...and lets just excuse the dirty finger marks all over the product, shall we?
I usually like plastic bristled mascara wands and I find they grip my lashes better and give them some length that they need, although with this mascara I have found that even though the brush is made of that soft fibre material it's still capable of lengthening my lashes which I was pleasantly surprised by. On the second image, nearly half way down the wand you can see that the material is a little different, that's because that part of the wand is actually flexible and moves, so it's not solid... something which I wasn't too sure if I would like but when I'm actually applying the product I haven't really noticed it, I think it's just a gimmick the whole "flexible wand will make your lashes look better". one thing I do like about this mascara wand is that it's tapered, meaning that it starts off thick and thins out nearer the end of the wand, which is do find helps coat all of my lashes evenly and stops me from getting product on my eyelids when i'm applying it.

The formula is black and very long lasting, I haven't had any flakey bits fall down onto my cheeks and I haven't had any experiences with smudging around the eyes, because the whole panda look isn't a good one, yet I do find that if I'm not careful this mascara can my lashes can look clumpy. Overall, I do think this is a good mascara but not the best on the market and I will probably won't repurchase it in the future, I've never really stayed faithful to a mascara before as i'm always up for trying out new products.
