They're Real! Mascara Benefit Review

Being addicted to mascara as most of us are, I feel we are all searching for that perfect one. When new mascara’s launch most of us try them with high hopes that they will deliver what they claim- 7x volume, lengthening, curl, no clumping and so on… I have tried almost everything; from Rimmel to YSL, L’Oreal to Dior, Maybelline to Chanel and everything in between so when I heard about Benefit’s “They’re Real” I was excited as Benefit’s Bad Gal Lash is in my top ten list of mascara’s. So what’s all the hype? Benefit claims ” The exclusive brush is specially designed to maximize the performance of the long-wearing, glossy formula-revealing lashes you never knew you had! Staggered bristles grab close to the root, boosting length & volume beyond belief. The precision bristles on the custom-domed tip lift, define & curl even your tiniest lashes. The end result...luxurious, silky lashes that won't smudge, clump or dry out”.

Benefits Research Results-

-94% saw dramatic length and volume
-90% saw base-to-tip curl
-94% saw visible lift
-100% saw long-wearing results
-Results observed in a consumer panel survey

My Results-

The formula seems a bit messy, thick and heavy. The brush picks up a lot of product making it a tad messy. I curled my lashes first with my Shu Uemura eyelash curler and applied two quick coats of They’re Real immediately after I found myself pushing my lashes up as they were starting to fall already due to the heaviness of the formula. I saw a little length and some separation but I think if I added any more coats, it may start to clump. This was not what I expected from all the hype, so I definitely will not purchase this again.

 I also compared it to my Bad Gal (2 coats as well) and you can see why I like it in the picture not as much length but such nice fullness to my lashes

so my pick is if you’re going to go with Benefit Mascara Bad Gal Lash gets my vote hands down.

Let me know what your favorite Mascara is and why.

Always be yourself
