Benefit - Roller Curl Mascara - Review ♥

Hey guys!
Today post is going to be on the Benefit - Roller lash mascara.
I have this post sitting in my draft folder for so long and had completely forgot to post it!
I got this sample in the March issue of ELLE.I had high expectations for this mascara as Benefit are well know for their 'They're Real Mascara' which I am a fan of and I knew this one had to live up to it if not be better for it to be worth the buy.Retail price - £19.50

I was pleasantly surprised that i liked it!

I love my lashes to have loads of volume and just a bit more length and this mascara is defiantly just a lengthening mascara. I feel like I have to add another mascara on top of it to add the volume desired on the days I am wanting big noticeable lashes.

This is an amazing every day mascara especially if you don't like to wear a lot of makeup. It is defiantly build-able but I found once you got to the 3rd/4th coat it started to clump and look like spider legs.

The outer packaging is so sleek and pretty.

On the benefit website it states that the mascara has an 'instant curve-setting formula that's holds for 12 hours'. However I do feel that the formulation of this mascara does help curl your lashes but for me it doesn't hold for the 12 hours it states. After about 3-4 hours of wear I could see my lashes start to droop and loose its curl.

As you can see from the pictures above of my lashes on the left side is my natural lash and on the right is the roller lash masacra. I applied 2 coats for this picture so you could see what it would look like layered.

Each of my lashes fanned out lovely.

I reach for this mascara when I am having one of my 'Natural' makeup days.

I do like it and would possibly repurchase it if it was on offer or came apart of a set that benefit do for christmas but i wouldn't go out tomorrow and repurchase it for the full price.

What do you guys think about this mascara?

Take Care

Rimmel Scandal’Eyes Mascara Black Review ♥

First Review on this blog!

My first review is going to be Rimmel Scandal’Eyes Mascara Black!

This mascara retails for around £6.99 from boots(UK) and Superdrug(UK) but this may vary depending on offers and the shop you buy it from.

I know mascara is hard to review because everyone has different lashes and you have to find the mascara that works for 

you.

I love mascara and i always end up having way to many in my makeup collection, this is only because i like to try them out and see what they do for my lashes. The picture below is of what the packaging and brush looks like.

As you can see from the picture the mascara tube is very bight a colourful and this is what drew me to the product the first time I saw it.

I did come across some problems while using it though.

1. The brush is MASSIVE. I have small lashes and the brush is just way to big for me. I have looked at some reviews on YouTube and also other blogs and they also say the same. I personally think  it depends on what type of lashes you have.
2. The formula that they use for this product is very wet. This can cause problems applying as you can get it on your eye lid and if you blink before it dries you will get all on the under eyes area aswell.
3. It made all my lashes clumpy instead of what it says it should do. It says that this product should define, add volume & reveal unseen before lashes corner-to-corner.

There is one upside thought, with how wet and clumpy the mascara is for me, when I have fake eye lashes on and I want to make the lashes look little bit more natural this mascara does a great job. For me it helped blend my natural lashes into the fake ones leaving me with more defined eyes lashes. I know this also depends on what type of lashes you use due to them not looking natural if you are using very dramatic lashes. Many people in the past have asked me when wearing fake lashes are they real, which to me makes it seem like this mascara does a wonderful job for this.

Let me know what you think about this mascara if you have tried it!

Take care x
