Review | Benefit Roller lash

In the March copy of ELLE this month, I got my hands on the new Benefit mascara, roller lash. I've tried Benefit mascaras before, but although I haven't hated them they don't always float my boat either, so I was excited to try this out!

"Why we love it!

It’s a roller for lashes! The eye-opening Hook ‘n’ Roll brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls…while the instant curve-setting formula holds for 12 hours."

The wand (applicator? brush? I'm never sure) is plastic and has the slightest curve to it to help follow the curve of your lashes. The bristles are slightly varied in length, being slightly longer on top and shorter on the underside of the curve. It applies really evenly at first, but I find on my longer lashes it gets clumpy pretty quickly.

I do really like the formula however, it's not too wet (I think it's the design of the wand that makes the clumps happen) and it removes really easily. It has good staying power too, without any fallout. My lashes don't really lose their curl so I can't say as to whether it holds curl particularly well. I do also really like the simple packaging, the colours are nice and I'm a fan of just the basic tube shape!

Overall, I don't really like or dislike it... I like it but the plastic wand really puts me off, so I probably won't be buying it!

Have you tried this out yet?
