Roller Lash by Benefit. Does it really work?

Hi Everyone

So I've recently purchases the Benefit Roller Lash and thought I'd give you guys a review of what I thought of this raved about mascara.

Now the thought behind the mascara is that it has such great coverage and the formula helps create that curled look. The packaging is sure adorable with the lid being in the style of an old school roller!

Now I'm a creature of habit and even though I have used this mascara without curlers for this post I have used my old and broken models own curlers (must remember to buy new eyelash curlers!!)

This mascara can be purchased at any benefit stores, department store or a boots store that stocks the benefit brand. It is pricier than your usual highstreet/drugstore mascara at £19.50 but I feel like it is worth the money. I also bought one for my sister and will give her opinion below too as we both have differing opinions but for different reasons you'll find out below.

So here are my lashes with nothing on to give you idea of the difference it makes. My lashes were tinted about 3 weeks ago so still a bit dark unlike my usual blonde lashes.

Before applying the mascara I curled my lashes

When applying you need to ensure that the wand is upright as the brush points in different direction to catch the lashes and apply the solution evenly.

As you can see it really elongates the lashes and doesn't have that "spidery" look even though I went over a few times

Just look at the difference! :)

Once applied it really looks nice, my lashes were separated and elongated making my eyes look really open.

So I also decided to take a photo after a day at work to give it an accurate review. It's all well and good showing how it looks newly applied but a mascara needs to last the day! So it was around 11 hours after that this photo was taken.

Now I think this mascara lasted really well over this time. The intensity of the black has gone but the curl is still there.

Overall I really like this mascara and will repurchase once this one has been used up. My sister however I'm not so sure.

My sister has a condition called trichotillomania, now this is not something that's life threatening at all so no need to worry there. Trichotillomania is where you unintentionally and unknowingly pull out the hair on your body, for her it's a comfort thing where if she's stressed she pulls. Now this varies from person to person as to the severity and the pulling sites. For Anna its the eyelashes and eyebrows. Over the years she has done an amazing job reducing the pulling and allowing her lashes to grow more but there are areas of damage where they don't grow as straight and gaps.

For her it worked ok but didn't give the same effect I had so she will not be repurchasing like me.

I hope this review helped as with more expensive products I feel knowing as much as possible about it is key.

Let me know if you've tried it or if this review has helped you in the comments.

Love you all
