Hey guys! I have been meaning to do this review for a while, after I got the Benefit They're Real mini mascara in Elle a few months ago. I've got to be honest, at first I really didn't like this, it made my lashes look really clumpy and, quite frankly, horrible. However after a few uses I changed my mind completely! Also sorry for the lack of a before and after photo, I did take one but I have no idea where it has ended up.
This product has had so much talk surrounding it, some people adore it, while other's can't stand it! I know a lot of people weren't keen on the plastic brush, but honestly I'm not that fussed about it, you just have to be careful not to get too much product on it.
It really does lengthen and make my lashes look "fluttery", and dare I say it, amazing! I must admit though, you do tend to need to use an eyelash comb to separate your lashes a bit, but really I do this with most of my mascaras. I found it to be quite waterproof, as long as you don't rub it, which I was presently surprised with. It doesn't seem to start to flake for atleast 6-7 hours, which I really think is pretty good!
My only negative would have to be the end of the wand. It's a weird, round shape and is collects loads of product, which you can probably see in the photo and it's really hard to get off, so you can end up with little deposits of mascara where you don't want them! I know a lot, if not all, bloggers have this problem with They're Real, so maybe Benefit should consider a "re-style"?
Overall I seriously liked this mascara, even if we did get off to a rocky start. My only regret about this product is not buying more when it was in Elle still, as it is quite expensive at £19.50 for the full size. I think I will have to ask for this for my birthday (December 17th) or Christmas. Yes, I am already thinking of what to put on my wishlist for those two events!

ReplyDeleteIt's nice isn't it x
DeleteSomehow I did not like this mascara it was to wet to work with and made my lashes clumpy. Maybe it was just mine, I got a bad one. http://makeupwithkimmy.blogspot.co.uk/
ReplyDeleteAwh that's a shame! Mine was like that after a couple of uses, then it sorted itself out. I guess it needed breaking in haha :)
DeleteI got this in a set at Christmas and I was so underwhelmed by it. I found the formula too wet and I can be pretty careless with Mascara to begin with and it ended up on my cheeks! haha. I much prefer Bad Gal! :)

You definitely should! Although maybe try the mini in case you dont like it
DeleteI love this mascara - it's my go to! But I realised it was the brush, not the formula that I loved so now I just keep and re use the brush (cleaning it) with a cheaper drug store mascara :)

Oo that's a really good idea! I will have to try that first before I repurchase it in case it is just the brush I like x
