I may pick up Elle for the sample, but I think that if I want a full size product I'll go for the Maybelline one! One of the main reasons Benefit made Roller Lash was because of the complaints about how hard They’re Real is to remove.

The play on words with curlers for your hair isn’t even cheesy because I would totally say the oomph factor of this mascara vs. I find that it makes me look like I’m wearing false eyelashes because my lashes are long and close together anyway without mascara, it just kind of makes them extremely long and full of volume, I totally agree about not needing to curl your lashes!Before Using A Benefit Product, Please Read The Ingredient List On The Packaging Of Your Product To Be Sure That The Ingredients Are Appropriate For Your Personal Use. If you already have curled lashes, and want well separated and longer lashes, They’re Real is the mascara for you. As you apply Benefit Roller Lash Mascara, you feel a gentle tug as it visibly lifts the lashes – it’s quite fun to watch up close! Be very mindful to not have too much product on the wand like I explained above or things could get pretty clumpy.

The eye-opening Hook ‘n’ Roll brush grabs, separates, lifts and curls…while the instant curve-setting formula holds for 12 hours. Its patent-pending Hook ‘n’ Roll™ brush features tiny custom-designed hooks to catch, lift, and curl even short and straight lashes. The babes of Benefit recommend a coat of They’re Real over Roller Lash as a beauty tip, which I’ll definitely try out. I like mascaras pretty much based solely on the wand – I feel like the formula doesn’t matter if you don’t have a good brush on the end to use with it. I’d find splodges of black on my under eyes half way through the day through transfer from my lower lashes.Rather than the usual gimmicky brush hoopla, this brush went through 46 different designs to get to the final, perfect one, so they have clearly put a lot of thought into this.

I would always go for separation over volume, but I'm not sure the preference is worth the extra money! A mascara inspired by hair rollers, this super-curling and lifting mascara gives a sexy, wide-eyed look. I’m really quite selective when it comes to mascara, often feeling that I’m having to pump way too many times to see any type of effect take hold on my lashes.Though, admittedly, I have naturally longer lashes, I’m all for enhancing and dramatising that look – and this new Benefit beauty does just that!
