Benefit Roller Lash Mascara (Sample Preview From Elle Magazine) Review.

 Konnichiwa Minna-san! This is the much anticipated Benefit Roller Lash Mascara review, I have been very very excited to try out this little promotion from Benefit & Elle magazine. 

Earlier this month Benefit revealed that they would be giving away small samples of their new mascara in the March edition of Elle magazine as a promotion of the product. Immediately I was interested as I have tried a few of the Benefit mascaras previous such as the "They're Real"  mascara from a year or two ago. 

The sample is so cute and small, about the same size as any standard sample of mascara. The packaging isn't exactly the same as the mascara that will be coming out next month, it's a but more simpler done as the full sized version will have a hair roller as the tube lid. 

I love the brush, I am a huge fan of plastic brushes without bristles because I prefer a more clean look rather than full with a lot of volume.


I personally really like this mascara in comparison to the other Benefit mascaras that i've had in the past. The lift and length it gives my eyelashes is very noticeable, but the lashes are also very spaced apart as well due to the way the brush and the bottle near enough eliminate clumps.

The after picture to the left shows one coat of the mascara, this could easily be buildable to create the lash look that you desire, but for me this is basically perfect. 

I would recommend using a eyelash curler with this mascara to get the full effect of the product. 

Overall I would say this is a win for me, and that is something I don't usually say about a Benefit product. The formula is good, the packaging (even the sample packaging) is good and the brush is ideal for me.

There is still a possibility that you can buy this in the March issue of Elle if it hasn't sold out in your local store.

PinkyP Art by Leah G & Lolita Fashion @ Zazzle Store & Product Review! xxx

Konbanwa Minna-san!

Today I am feeling so lucky because I get to review the creations of Leah G, the designer of PinkyP! I was so thrilled to be asked to review some of the ultra cute designs she has created for her Zazzle store. xxx

 First off are these adorable cushions, they are so cute! I feel like I can almost relate to the character on the left side, she reminds me so much of myself when I was younger. The contrast of the pink hair and dark background is very complimenting on the second cushion, it really makes the character stand out and look bold. I truly adore these two designs, I find them fresh, unique and a gorgeous cushion pattern.

 A variety of different clothing is available with a multitude of designs as well. The two that I picked are the two that for me, stood out the most for my tastes. The first is the leggings, I love love love these... The bow & weaved design down the side of the leg is so cute. The t-shirt has the signature character of Leah G's designs, PinkyP featured on the front. I think this is so kawaii with the different shades of pink used & the twin pony tails on PinkyP. 

This is definitely a must for me, I must always have a compact mirror with me at all times. Cutie PinkyP is featured here once again, this time in a gothic/chic version and another steam punk design. I love the simplicity of the black and the roses on the gothic design, I think I actually prefer this one to the steam punk design. 

I simply adore these binders and the fact that they can be personalised! How useful is that?! Fair enough you could be normal and have your name, but for people with lots of subjects of study you could get a few of these and name them for all your different studies. The new Emerald type design here is a must have for me... sooo pretty, I love the colour of green so much in this character. The punky/gothic/lolita/steam punk girl is back in this design and she is fierce. I love the cogs & clocks as it makes the image super edgy, especially with the bright pop of pink hair again. PinkyP is back again in this bubblegum barbie pink design, I think this is super cute with her pink, almost strawberry shortcake type dress.

Now this is a product I can get my hands on! I love purses, especially purses with lots of room of course. I picked these two designs to review because they just called out to me, I adore the simplicity of the first design and the punky character of the second design. Both of these are a win/win for me.

I love the difference with the bow design for the messenger bag, it's a little change from many of the previous designs as it's simple but still bold & makes a statement to any outfit. The pastel PinkyP design for the second bag is adorable and very me! anything pastel will definitely appeal to moi. This bag looks like something you would take on a day out when you aren't needing to carry very much with you, possibly going out shopping and you only need to carry a purse?

These two designs are so different, I love the zombie/sugar skull character and the sugar skulls in the background of the punky/gothic lolita girl as well. I would definitely have these for my phone, they are unique in my eyes and I don't think you would find something like this anywhere on the high street.

Overall I find the designs and characters fun and inviting but also edgy, as I have said countless times they are totally unique to the person that designed them and utterly adorable. It is clear that a lot of time and thought went into the creation of these characters and I feel each one of them shine in their own way.
