Who has time to curl their lashes everyday before getting out the door?  I know I certainly don’t.  I can barely make it to the school gates on time as it is, so adding steps to my beauty routine in the mornings just isn’t an option.  I’ve often said I like time-saving make-up and beauty products that still work well and do exactly what they promise.  And if I find any goodies, I will share them here.

I’ve long been a fan of Benefits ‘they’re real!’ mascara as it is probably the best mascara I’ve used in ages.  So last week when mine ran out, I headed back to the Benefit counter to get another one.  When I got there something that I hadn’t seen before caught my eye – a new curling mascara.  So I asked a few questions and then tried it for myself.  The new mascara from Benefit is called roller lash and it’s all about curling and lifting your lashes without needing to use a curler beforehand.  I snapped it up and I’m really pleased with it.  It definitely curls and lifts and makes your eyes look wider and more open.  And it cuts out the need for curling your lashes first so saves time too.  In truth, I hardly ever curled my lashes beforehand as I am somehow always doing my make-up in a hurry, no matter what time of day.  But I have straight lashes so always had the best intentions of doing a bit of curling.  Now I don’t need to and that makes me very happy!  I think I may have found the best curling mascara for me.

Benefit’s roller lash will probably be even more effective if used with ‘they’re real’ mascara but for me, I’m quite happy to stick to one for the time being.  It lengthens a fair amount and curls well so I’m pretty happy with the results.  If you look especially on the left eye in the pic above you can see what I mean. I am already a Benefit cosmetics fan as they are one of the brands that I’ve found that really do what their make-up claims to do and also products like this curling mascara that save me time are always welcome in my beauty bag.  What’s the best curling mascara you have tried?  Any recommendations?

I should add that this isn’t a sponsored post – in fact none of my beauty posts are sponsored.  I buy things I like the sound of, I try and if I like them, I share them with you.
