Benefit is known worldwide for its mascaras. From they’re Real! to BADgal BANG, they’re some of the best lash-boosting formulas you can buy. But in truth, there’s only so much a mascara can do. If your lashes are sparse and short, you’ll benefit (excuse the pun) from adding a lash serum to your routine. Luckily for Benefit fans, the San Fransisco-based beauty brand has unveiled its latest launch, the Benefit Whoop Lash Enhancing Serum.
My lashes are OK. They’re not short nor are they particularly long. So, I was more than happy to give this new product a try and report on my results. I’m partial to a lash lift, and longer lashes would improve my results and make my mascara look even better. Here’s how I got on…
You Will Love The Benefit Whoop Lash Serum If…
If your lashes are short and sparse, you’ll love the benefits this lash serum has to offer. After putting it to the test, you’ll love it because it’s quick and easy to use – it takes seconds to apply it before bed – and shows results in as little as six weeks.
What Does It Do?
It makes your eyelashes fuller, thicker and longer. A custom blend of plant extracts, rice proteins and vitamins condition existing lashes and promote lash growth.
How Does It Do It?
The formula contains hibiscus flower and safflower extracts, which help lashes look thicker & fuller. Biotin, an ingredient found in many lash serums, helps condition the look of lashes, while provitamin B5 helps lashes look shiny and healthy. It’s worth noting that this serum doesn’t contain the ingredient prostaglandin, which can be found in many lash serums and has been in the news lately because of concerns about its potential side effects.
What Does It Smell And Feel Like?
The Lash serum isn’t fragrance-free per se, but it doesn’t have a noticeable scent. As for the texture, it’s a lightweight serum. Once applied, you can barely feel it. I do have very sensitive skin, and I will say that it did tingle slightly upon application, but that went away after a few seconds – just those ingredients getting to work, I suppose!
How Long Does One Bottle Last?
The lash serum has 2ml of formula in it. If you apply a small amount each night as recommended, it’s likely it’ll last 3 months.
Best Place and Time To Use It?
For best results, Benefit suggests using the lash serum every night before bed.
Whoop Lash Serum’s Design and Aesthetic Is Special Because…
The lash serum has a slimline design that’s comfortable to hold in the hand. What’s special about it is the brush. Each of the soft bristles has different lengths, which ensures you get maximum coverage of your lash line. In true Benefit style, the design is as pretty as ever, too – it’s a bubblegum pink shade.
Sustainability and Values…
The gentle formula is clinically and ophthalmologist-tested and suitable for sensitive eyes.
It’s also free from prostaglandin and its derivatives, parabens, phthalates, sulfates, fragrance, and gluten ingredients.
My Overall Experience
I really enjoyed testing this lash serum. Adding it to my routine was easy, I simply kept it in my bedside drawer and applied it before I went to bed. That way, I never forgot to apply it. One quick swipe across each lash line, and I was done. As I mentioned above, when I first apply it, the formula does tingle slightly, but that disappears after a few seconds. I put this down to the ingredients getting to work. I have quite sensitive skin due to suffering from eczema, but the formula didn’t cause my skin to flare up.
The all-important question: did I notice lash growth? Yes! Albeit, only a little bit. I have been using the lash serum for just over two weeks now, and my lash line definitely looks thicker. I haven’t noticed a dramatic difference in length just yet, but I’m hoping with continued use that’ll change.
