Benefit Cosmetics: Roller Lash

Benefit Philippines, launched their latest innovation, the Roller Lash. They’ve had a contest on Instagram, where you and your bestie gets to win a roller lash, the mechanics where simple just had to repost a certain photo (You and your bestie). Then after a few days, I just saw on mynotifications on instagram, that Benefit tag us a photo. Then in God’s grace,
we won 🙂

I was actually intrigued with the advertisements for the
product, it says NO NEED FOR AN EYELASH CURLER. I’ve tried different brands of
Mascaras but this is genius. Why?

1.
It is LIGHT- other mascara brands I tried where
heavy and sometimes the strong
scent gives me a headache. Thats why I love this <3

2.
It last for long hours – 12 hours according to
the label

3.
It really CURLS and LIFTS right away – NO NEED FOR
CURLER. The beauty consultant at benefit explained that the “wiper”, the part
of the mascara is the one responsible for this awesome feature.

4.
Makes your eyes look wide open

5.
You’ll love the packaging and you can see the information you need to know.

6.
It is handy, you can bring it anywhere.

So here is my BEFORE AND AFTER 🙂

Muriel (The bestie) and I, really love makeup
we were so stoked on finally getting our hands on the roller lash. When we
tried it together, we really loved it. It is worth P1300 actually, but it is
worth the investment, its all you ever wanted in a mascara.

I would like to correct what I’ve wrote before, that it was WATERPROOF, When I splashed my face with water, YES, it was still intact. That was the truth. Then apparently, Someone I know who’ve tried it, says it wasn’t waterproof, It got scattered when they sweated. But I still think it is still a good product.

You better grab yours, it is so far their best
seller yet . You can follow Benefit Philippines on their INSTAGRAM page
@benefitbeautyph. Their store locations at Greenbelt 5, Rustans, Makati,
Rustans Shangrila, Mall of Asia, Trinoma, ATC and BGC Central Square.
