As a self-confessed beauty junkie there is nothing I love more than to discover new brands and try new products. As a beauty blogger I am immensely fortunate to be sent products to try from some lovely brands. If I’m honest this is something I never get over, it’s still surreal to me to receive gifted items for me to try out. It’s such a privilege. Recently I was contacted by a brand which was fairly new to me, I had heard of them through social media and other bloggers, but I’d never tried them myself.
The brand in question is Wonderland Makeup. Their aim is to deliver high-quality, cruelty free beauty products at a reasonable price point. With over 12 years experience the brand is really coming into their own in the world of cosmetics. The cruelty free aspect is for me a great selling point, it’s incredible to see more and more companies adopting this ethos.
Lash Thickening Mascara*
When it comes to mascara I find myself very critical and difficult to please. I have to admit I did try this with an open mind and I wasn’t expecting to be blown away. Perhaps it was this lack of expectation which allowed this product to really deliver for me. I was pleasantly surprised with the end results. My lashes appeared lengthened, evenly coated and they didn’t clump and stick together at all.
The lashes on my right eye behave considerably better than those on my left, I have no idea why but it has always been the case. The right side is like Gucci, and the left a cheap knock-off if you will. A bit like brows, one always turns out better than the other. Sisters not twins though hey!
I’m digressing! Back to the mascara! The formula is quite thick I find, and the applicator is tapered to get those shorter lashes on the inner corners of our eyes. For me personally I find the wand a bit too long, I would have prefer a shorter one with more control. That being said it did coat my lashes evenly distributing the mascara really well as it went. It spaced them out and gave them a fuller and more wispy appearance which I really loved. This was my favourite of the three products I’ve tried from Wonderland Makeup.
Studio Finish Primer*
This is an oil free primer, it is very lightweight and has a silky, slippery texture when you apply it to the skin, as it settles into the skin the silky texture goes away. I find that it gives my skin a smooth appearance and helps to cover over my pores. My foundation applies well over the top of this and I do find it long wearing. I do however have quite an oily T-Zone so it does break up around that area and doesn’t tend to wear well. I do find this to be the case with nearly all primers I use so I didn’t expect this one to be any different, especially as it isn’t targeted toward an oily skin type.
A little goes a long way so I would recommend a light hand. Overall I do like this primer, it offers a great base to apply makeup on top and I do feel that it helps it to be long wearing for the most part.
Eye Pigment – Paradiso*
I was really pleased the colour I received, it is exactly the kind of colour I would pick for myself. The pigment applies quite shear at first I noticed, I found I had to pick up a lot of products to get a good colour payoff using a dry, dense packing brush, however with a wet brush it picks up far more and the payoff is naturally a lot greater. The shade Paradiso works well as a brow bone and inner corner highlight, as well as all over the lid, it also looks great over the top of another lid colour to give a subtle shimmer.
I tested this with both primed and unprimed lids, naturally as you would expect the primed application lasted longer than without but I do feel that I have oiler lids so I wouldn’t expect any less. The specific colour I have could lend itself to being a face highlight too I’d say. I find the formula to be very fine and easy to work with and apply. You do get some fall out which is to be expected from a loose pigment. On the whole I do really like this pigment, Wonderland have a really great colour range to choose from too.

A great review! I’d be interested in trying the primer, I have such a weird relationship with primers that I enjoy any except for silicone based ones.

I’ve not actually heard of this brand before but I like the fact that they are ethical. The Primer looks like a great alternative to the cream kind I am using currently, so I’ll be looking into that x

Lol I’m glad to know I’m not the only one with uneven lash problems! I haven’t heard of Wonderland, but I guess we don’t have them in stores over here. But I’ll look into them!
