Wander Beauty Mascara Takes Your Lashes All The Way

Wander Beauty Mascara has become a staple in my collection.

I feel like Wander Beauty is one of those hit or miss brands, you know? Some products are complete flops while others have made their way into becoming staples in my collection. Take Mile High Club Mascara, for example. This mascara has won awards from both Refinery29 and Allure, and has a 4.2 star rating on Sephora.com. And, this is a Wander Beauty product I join in on loving. I think this is a really solid mascara that does live up to its claims. But, is it the best out there?

Promises vs. Performance: 9-in-1 benefits, from length and definition to jet black pigment that lasts all day.

Wander Beauty Mascara, Mile High Club, promises length and volume to lashes. It promises to “take lashes all the way” in terms of volume, length, and definition. It wand features precise bristles that are said to grab and coat every lash. This is said to result in a full, flirty, fanned out effect. Not only does the formula contain nourishing and conditioning ingredients such as peach leaf extract, castor oil, and trehalose, but it also promises a flake proof, smudge proof, and water resistant all day wear. Mile High Club is a 9-in-1 mascara that promises everything from definition to long wear to an always fresh formula (read more about the benefits here).

Mile High Club Mascara is one I enjoy. I get volumized, lengthened, defined lashes that hold a curl most of the day. The formula is clump free at application, layers well, and has the intense black pigment I look for in a mascara. I love that the formula is on the more natural side and contains ingredients that nourish my lashes with each wear. As far as longevity goes, this Wander Beauty mascara has minimal flaking, smudging and transfer for a decent all day wear.

How It Compares: Wander Beauty Mascara lives up to its claims, but is it the best mascara?

Honestly, I’m surprised with how much I enjoy this mascara. The formula feels lightweight and applies easily with no clumping. I get volumized, lengthened lashes that hold curl for the better part of the day. It has minimal flaking, smudging, and transfer, which I always appreciate. Mile High Club has become a staple in my collection and one I reach for fairly often.

Now, does it beat out my holy grail Lancome Lash Idole (rated ****4.4)? Not quite, but it is a hard one to beat. For me, Lash Idole is everything I want in a mascara and more. I don’t have to sacrifice volume, separation, or length for longevity. I can get anywhere from a natural lash look (one coat) to a falsie effect (multiple coats). Truly, this mascara formula is versatile and does it all.

However, if you’re looking for a bomb clean formula, ILIA’s nailed it. If you want long, wispy lashes, Limitless Lash will provide. If you want mega volume and thick lashes, try Fullest Volumizing.
