Lashes unleashed

Imagine your lashes have gone to the gym, eaten lots of protein and, as the kids say, got totally hench. That’s the effect of this plumping mascara, one of Benefit’s biggest launches in ages. With its flexible rubbery brush, the formula made our lashes look much longer, spiky and va-va-voom, without irritating our eyes. Full marks.
