Review + Surprise: Benefit Roller Lash Mascara




Hello Dolls,
Did  you know that today marks the first month since my blog has been published? I am so pumped up about the support I am getting so far from every single one of you and I couldn't be anymore grateful. So, to thank my avid subscribers, I have a surprise for you guys. 

We'll get to that later...

I also wanted to do something a little different than usual. From time to time, I will be posting videos alongside with my blog posts. So, it means, you can also subscribe to my YouTube Channel.

This weeks product review is recorded through this video post. Please check it out and stay until the last part to learn what my awesome surprise is.


Summing up my takeaways of the Benefit Roller Lash Mascara are the pros and cons.

Pros:
  • Pretty and practical packaging
  • Jet Black formulation that makes your lashes stand out even more
  • Incredible brush and bristles design that prevent lashes from clumping
  • Lightweight and feels soft when worn
  • Doesn't flake out throughout the day
  • Very easy to remove
Cons:
  • Price 
  • Doesn't live up to its claim of not needing curler
  • Doesn't curl my lashes by itself
  • Not for volumizing, only for lengthening
  • Not waterproof

There you go, dolls. Let me know how this new medium (YouTube + blog posts) works out for you.  Remember, if you want to join the makeup giveaway, don't forget to follow the two rules I explained on the video above. 

Thanks for your love...

Keep Dolling Up,
Gelie (Jelai) xoxo

  1. I don't know when products do not do as advertised it is a big turn off to me. and when the dollar amount is higher it should do as claimed..

    1. Dee Dee,
      I totally get where you are coming from. However, please do remember that lots of people raved how good this mascara is and that it did hold their curls. So maybe it's just a case by case situation. I think it depends on how stubborn your lashes are (like mine). This might curl your lashes if you don't have the same problem with mine. Thanks for your insights! Are you subscribe to any of my SNS account? I need to know the name you use there so I can include you to the giveaway challenge.

  3. I have always wanted to try this product specially since Benefit is not readily available here in the Philippines. Can you do a post on your recommended affordable Korean Skincare products that we should try?

    I'm glad that you have decided to add Youtube to the platforms that you post to. :) Congratulations Gel!

    1. Hi, girl!
      First of all thank you for this valuable feedback. I had no idea about the availability of Benefit cosmetics in the Philippines. I am actually testing out some new skin care product that I just got last week. I will be posting my reviews and recommendations about them in the next couple of weeks (if not days). Stay tune! Good luck...

      Appreciate it.
