Benefits They're Real! Mascara | Review| December 3rd

Last month I was a runner up in Benefits Facebook game '2 truths and a lie' competition. I won the Porefessional Primer and They're Real! Mascara. This post is my review of They're Real! which I have never tried before simply due to pricing but I would probably repurchase when it runs out.

I actually really enjoy the packaging of Benefit products as well, there is plenty to read and they look really nice. This mascara has been the most raved about mascara I've ever known about to be quite honest (besides the falsies but I feel like the falsies is... not great).

This is what the mascara looks like on my lashes and I absolutely love it. It has a completely different effect than my other mascaras on my lashes and it makes them look so long! It's not the most voluminous mascara in the entire world but everyone has their issues. It's quite a.. wet mascara though so sometimes it does get on the top of your lids so you just have to be a bit careful about that. The product also doesn't seem to dry and crack (you know when it starts falling off your lashes) but after application my lashes look the same throughout the day and don't lose their curl. The thing I will say I don't like is that when you put it on your bottom lashes I feel like it makes them look a little bit sad so I just don't use it for my lower lashes which I'm fine with.

Overall I think this mascara is fantastic. It's a great product itself (which is the most important part!) but it also has really nice packaging

  1. I've heard so many good things about this but like you I've always been put off by the price but it's in a Benefit gift set I'm getting for Christmas so I can't wait to give it a go.

  2. Yeah, I feel more inclined to spend that sort of money on Blush or Eye-shadow because it last a lot longer than a mascara but after trying this out it's worth it, there is a clear difference in quality to be honest. Which Benefit set are you getting?

  3. Yes me too, the Whola Lotta Lovin' Debenhams exclusive. I don't think I'd ever spend that much on mascara as I've found a couple of great more affordable ones and I'm not really a big fan of massive lashes, makes me feel like there are spiders near my eyes :|

  4. Oh that one is a cool one! I'm hoping I get one for Christmas but my family is into surprises :P Yeah I really love my maybelline and covergirl ones but they're real is really nice and using it makes me feel fancy, is that weird? Yeah I don't like spidery eyelashes either but this isn't like that too badly with the they're real mascara. (They should employ me I can't stop raving.) It does a little bit but not like you want to rip your eyelashes off.
