Are you faux real?

They're Real mascara by Benefit RRP £18.50

If you read my previous POST you would have noticed I had a mascara in there which I’ve been using a lot recently… It’s the one & only THEY’RE REAL mascara by Benefit*. Now, I’m a huge fan of Benefit and they’re BadGal Lash (which reminds me that I need to get some more of it!) so was super intrigued to see what this was like.

The brush is designed to coat each & every lash of yours… Including the ones you didn’t even think you had!

The packaging I LOVE - I can’t really think of anything by the brand which I didn’t like packaging wise :) It feels more LUXURIOUS than their BadGal Lash. I really like the colour of the tube too.

The  mascara wand is made from RUBBER. About a year ago I wouldn’t touch rubber mascara wands… I didn’t think they’d do anything positive to my lashes. But, boy was I wrong! After trying one out I find myself drawn to these mascara wands all the time!

The end of the wand reminds me of Givenchy’s mascara… which I would find weird using without having a proper, long brush to comb through my lashes. This however, has BEST of both worlds :) Now it’s time for the before & after pictures…

I don’t curl my lashes. So bearing that in mind & the fact that I only applied one coat… the mascara has lifted my lashes, coated them from root to tip & lengthened them at the same time :)

I wouldn’t say it looks like I’ve got fake lashes, but I suppose that depends on how you define fake lashes… But some of the girls did think I had lash inserts :) It definitely gives them an extra oomph!

Application is super easy & the formulation of the mascara is great - it dries like a treat :) I’ve been using the tip to coat my outer lashes - I wouldn’t reccomend using it to separate your lashes because it usually has a lot of product on the tip.

If you don’t dip the brush into the product enough it can dry & make your lashes clumpy - so you gotta be careful. Having said that…

On a whole, I’m super happy with this product! Would I buy this again? Yes! Would I have bought this when it officially launches? Hell to the YES!! I’m looking forward to this coming out in waterproof too!

Will you be picking this mascara up when it launches in the next few weeks?

P.S - Watch this space for FLASH SALE details of this mascara which is going on sale 3 weeks before its nationwide launch!!

*This product was sent to me - honest opinion as always!

    Hilarious title, good job! Mascaras with brushes like that always confuse me, I always immediately assume they’re going to pants, but you’ve proved otherwise! x

      I totally get you, I was the same until last year! You should really try some out… Maybe do a little research before buying? This one and Avon’s SuperSHOCK are really good :) x
