00:00 Hey guys, it's Sam, welcome back to my channel.
00:02 Today's video is going to be a first impression on the new Benefit mascara.
00:05 This one is the roller lash.
00:07 So basically this is supposed to be a really curling mascara.
00:10 It doesn't claim to be super lengthening or volumizing, but it's supposed to hold the
00:14 curl of your lashes all day long.
00:16 So that's what we will be testing out today.
00:18 My last Sephora order, I got a sample size, which fortunately it doesn't have the cute
00:23 top packaging, like the full size.
00:26 Still the same mascara.
00:27 So we will be trying this out today.
00:29 I'm going to start by applying one coat on one eye, so we will see how it looks like.
00:34 So this is what the wand looks like.
00:36 There's a little bit of a curve and it's a plastic wand, so we will see how it applies
00:40 on my lashes.
00:41 By the way, I have naturally really long lashes.
00:48 They're just really, really straight, which sucks.
00:52 But if it's curling, it should be good.
00:57 Okay, so that's what one coat.
00:59 I feel like my lashes are going in a crazy direction, but it does seem to want to curl
01:03 my lashes.
01:04 So I'm going to try to apply a coat the other side.
01:06 Hopefully my lashes aren't so crazy.
01:12 I like that it's not a super wet formula.
01:14 It feels like it's freshly opened, but it's almost like sticky.
01:18 So it really adheres to my lashes.
01:21 So this is one coat.
01:22 As you can see, this eye went a little crazy, but it seems to give me a little bit more
01:27 of a curl, which I appreciate.
01:29 This gave me a little bit of length and volume, so we'll see how two coats looks like.
01:34 It seems to dry really quickly on my lashes because I feel like it's a little bit dry
01:38 when I'm trying to apply a second coat, but in a good way.
01:41 And this is what two coats looks like.
01:43 The first impression, I feel like it caked up really quickly.
01:46 I feel like I didn't have that much, but it looks like I have...
01:50 From up close, it looks a little dry, a little clumpy.
01:53 There's a few lashes that are sticked together, but it's really not bad whatsoever, and I
01:58 think I really like it.
01:59 I feel like it gives me...
02:01 It almost looks like I'm wearing false eyelashes.
02:03 There's a ton of lashes.
02:04 They're really long.
02:05 They're curled.
02:06 I could see myself loving this mascara.
02:08 I kind of hope I don't because it's not a cheap one, but we will test it out at the
02:12 end of the day if it's still curled and if it's smudged or something like that.
02:16 So I'm going to try to not touch my eyes, and I'm just going to clean that up a little
02:19 bit because I have a little bit of mascara, but otherwise it seems really quite great.
02:25 So last look up close.
02:28 So this is what it looks like right now.
02:30 I feel like it looks really good.
02:32 It depends what you like, obviously.
02:33 If you like really natural looking lashes, it's probably not the one for you, but I feel
02:37 like even though there's a little bit of clumpiness, as you can probably see, I still like it.
02:43 I quickly wanted to update you before the sun goes down.
02:46 As you can probably tell, it's about two.
02:49 So I've been wearing this mascara for about eight hours, which is pretty usual for me.
02:52 So I'm going to do a close up.
02:53 You're going to be able to see that I haven't had any issues, barely maybe a tiny, tiny
02:59 little bit of smudging, but nothing really.
03:02 I am impressed.
03:03 My eyelashes are still curled.
03:05 They still look pretty intense for something that is just two coats quickly.
03:09 The formula kind of reminds me of the L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black when it gets older
03:15 and it's less wet.
03:17 So for $24 US or $29 Canadian, would I repurchase it?
03:22 I don't know, just because I really love drugstore mascara, just because I don't know, they're
03:27 really affordable.
03:28 Like the one from L'Oreal that I just mentioned is $6.
03:31 So I don't know if I would personally purchase it just because my lashes are pretty long
03:35 naturally.
03:37 But if you're looking for a really good curling mascara, I would recommend it.
03:41 If I could get another sample or use a hundred point perk at Sephora for it, I would totally
03:46 do it.
