Benefit Roller Lash Mascara [Review]
4:34:00 PMHi guys ^^, sorry for not posting since months ago. You
see, 2018 is really a different year for me because I add plenty of new makeup
routines that I’ve never done before or I usually don’t do again for years. From
my post before I told you guys that I tried to do highlight and now I tried to
do mascara again.
I haven’t found any mascara that quite works for me and
all of the mascara that I bought seems like it doesn’t do anything to my
lashes. And you know that mascara can be really hard especially to people who
have short and sparse lashes like me. As a result, I always got stain under my
eyelash area easily and you know how hard it is to clean them without ruining
your makeup.
I do some research first before buying and I found these
two benefit’s mascara that is raved by so many beauty gurus. The first one is
Benefit They’re Real and the other one is Roller Lash. From what I see, the
They’re Real mascara looks clumpy and messy or people can say it’s spidery
which I don’t really prefer. On the other hand, the Roller Lash looks natural
and less clumpy even though they apply it like two times. So, I bought this
mascara from Sephora and hoping to see what they can do to my Asian eyelash.
They sell this mascara for about Rp 370.000,- or 24 US$ that
includes 8.5 g/ 0.3 OZ of products inside. Please mind that you shouldn’t use
mascara too often since the cleaning part will be quite harmful for your
lashes.
Packaging
Well, you know Benefit. They are one from many brand that
create the cutest and adorable packaging that you will ever see. I never hate
their design and packaging, my collector’s heart wants to collect all if my
wallet can buy all of them :(.
And by the way, the Roller Lash look cuter than the They’re Real mascara LOL.
It is also one of the reason why I pick this mascara. I know you guys also pick
makeup and skincare by the packaging also :p.

Swatch and Textures
I really really love this mascara! It is not clumpy for
maximum two times application, not spidery and volumes my lashes just like how
I want it to be. All of my mascara before just doesn’t do anything to my
lashes, they don’t look longer and I didn’t see any volume (exclude Maybelline,
they have bunch of good ones but I don’t like how spidery they look to me). This
mascara though, I can see why people raving so much about it.
[Before - I got no lashes :')]
[After - Soo much better :DD]
From the name and claim, you should have already known
they are marketed as a curler mascara. It means that they will also curl your
lashes without using any lash curler. Sadly, it doesn’t hold curl so much
because of my straight lashes. It is because I have monolids which you know,
all my lashes are turning straight down to earth. It still holds curl for about
30 minutes I think if I am lucky. Sad isn’t it? Should I buy a heat lashes curler
for it to do the magic?
Still, if you got problems like me you can curl your
lashes before applying any mascara. I’m lazy though, just because it takes so
much time to curl them up! Even though it doesn’t hold curl, it is my lashes
problem, not the mascara that is problematic. If you have double eyelids or
easy to curl lashes, I bet you can use this easily and the curl will last long
because this mascara is waterproof.
The only thing that is unfortunate for me is, I cannot
use this for the under eyelash part. The applicator is too big since my eyelash
is quite short, it will only stain my skin around them. That’s why I bought
another skinny mascara from Innisfree that I only use frequently to do its job.
This roller lash is waterproof and doesn’t smudge at all.
Very recommended for you guys who bothered with smudging mascara.

[It doesn't look weird and still natural :D]
Pros:
- Look very voluminous and natural
- Make eyelash look fuller but not clumpy
- Water Proof
- Can curl eyelash especially a bit if you have an easy-to-bend eyelash
Cons:
- Quite high on the price
- Hard to use for under eye area since mine are short
- Cannot hold the curl for my short and straight lashes (but it’s not a big deal)
Final Thoughts
4.5/5
Favorite mascara since it does look voluminous, long and
very natural. You can even build it up to make it more voluminous, but you need
to be careful since it will clump up after applying more than twice. Still, I
love how it looks and it is also waterproof :D, highly recommend if you cannot
find any good mascara that doesn’t look spidery.
