I'm probably not alone in saying that mascara is an essential in my make-up bag – a must-have, desert island, can't-leave-the-house-without beauty product that I apply every time I wear make-up.
I've tried countless mascaras other the years, and surprisingly few really impress me. I want volume AND length AND lift AND definition, and I don't want it to flake or smudge one bit throughout the day.
Clearly me and my lashes are hard to please, but I've never been disappointed by a Benefit mascara (it's no wonder they're the UK's bestselling prestige mascaras). And Benefit's newest one, Fan Fest Mascara (which launched earlier this year) is no exception – and it's currently on sale.
Fan Fest usually costs £25.50 but shoppers can but it with 25% off at John Lewis as part of the retailer's early Black Friday sale – taking the price down to £19.12.
If you want to try it out for less before splashing out on a full-size tube, the mini version of Fan Fest is also included in this offer: just £10.12 now down from £13.50.
As its name suggests, Fan Fest is designed to fan the lashes out side-to-side, giving a pretty, wide-eyed effect. It has 'full fibre' brush with a 40 degree curve for reaching every single tiny lash, plus a flexible formula that separates lashes.
I love it for a number of reasons. Firstly the curved brush enables you to either scoop or push the lashes up depending on which way you hold it. It gives the lashes plenty of oomph and definition – not va-va-voom, false lash effect volume, but a nice amount for everyday wear.
My eyelashes are long but point in awkward directions (some a super curly, some lean in towards my nose) and this mascara does a good job at controlling them, splaying them out in roughly the directly I want them to be in.
Crucially, Benefit Fan Fest also stays put all day long – no smudging, smearing or crumbling off.
This is why it has been my favourite mascara discovery of 2023, and I'll definitely be stocking up while it's in the 25% off John Lewis Black Friday sale.
This is just one of a number of incredible Black Friday beauty deals we've already spotted go live ahead of the main shopping day on 24 November, including £105 off a Braun epilator and savings on this popular collagen supplement.
