At first, I was a bit skeptical when it was first released. But after pictures of the mascara results on normal individuals - without any of Benefits ad campaigns or marketing, I was absolutely gobsmacked. I knew, that this mascara had to be mines. So, the next day I dragged my boyfriend up to Livingston, to our local shopping outlet, for some "shopping". He had no idea what he was in for. I marched into Debenhams and I seen it displayed on the Benefit stand, The heavens opened and I knew, it was mine. I was certainly not disappointed the first time I used it. I initially tested it without eyelash curlers, as apparently you do not need them. And Benefit are right, you do not need the eyelash curlers, although for the ultimate curl I do prefer to use them. The main purpose of this mascara is to provide you with a curl, and it certainly does live up to standards. It is very lengthening and buildable - I never really clumps and I tend to add about three coats. For the purpose of this blog post, I only added one coat so you can really see the true natural effect of this mascara. The staying power is fantastic - although its not a "hard" mascara, it lasts all day and the curl stays put.

This mascara comes in at £19.50 from most Benefit counters in the United Kingdom - unsure of the price in countries across Europe and the US. This mascara is well worth it and is perfect for every day use - thinner fake eyelashes could be added for a more dramatic look. I enjoy using this mascara daily and it is well worth the price - I feel like Benefit could have charged more for this if they wanted to - as it's worth every penny.
