There has been A LOT of hullabaloo about this mascara lately so I was itching to get my hands on it. I just can’t bring myself to pay a lot (like, anything) for mascara because they last 3 months tops (even if you don’t use mascara everyday you should replace your mascara every 3 months for hygienic purposes). Sephora.com deluxe size samples to the rescue! This is how I get all my high-end mascaras. With a purchase at Sephora.com (usually over $25) you get a free deluxe size sample. I chose this mascara.

I LOVE IT! It actually reminds me a lot of the Maybelline Lash Sensational Full Fan Effect Volume Mascara that I featured in a Bye Bye Beauty post. Why would I love Roller Lash if it reminds me of a product in a Bye Bye post, you ask? Roller Lash has all the pros of Lash Sensational with none of the cons.

For starters, the wands are pretty much identical. The wand is curved and one side has shorter bristles to get close to the lash line and the other side has longer bristles to fan out the lashes. The volume and lengthening I get with this mascara is amazing. It fans out my lashes and makes it look like I have false eyelashes on. The first time I wore this a co-worker commented on my lashes.

The brush is supposed to be a unique design—a “Hook ‘N’ Roll” brush that catches your eyelashes to lift and curl them. Not sure that I am noticing anything catches my lashes (which is fine by me), but the results are definitely there.

The full-size is $24. I would definitely choose this again as a deluxe sample or use my Sephora points to buy a sample, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much on a mascara no matter how amazing it is. If mascara is your thing, and you’re okay with spending the money, I would definitely recommend this one.
