Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I'm always on the hunt for a great mascara. I use Mally's mascara and like it. I'm watching the presentation on HSN and have to say this looks very impressive. Has anyone tried this and if you did what do you think?TIA

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I ordered this product twice and because the first one I received dried out so fast and after reading all the people loving it I decided to order another one which came in a TSV and the same problem I feel it is over priced it drys out to fast.

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Love this mascara. Love. It! Probably my current fav. Many complain it is difficult to remove. I do not have any trouble removing with Sephora eye m/u remover. The blue one in a clear plastic bottle. The mascara separates, lengthens, curls, and volumizes, and never smudges on me. So many smudge on me. I highly recommend it.

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I love this mascara and used it all the time. Then I discovered Maybelline Mega Plush. It has a totally different brush and the formula is not as wet but side by side similar if not better results. Plus, since it is always BOGO 50 somewhere, I don't feel bad about tossing the tube more often. I can use a new tube of the maybelline every month for less than the cost of one tube of the Benefit every three months.

Hmm, really? What does the tube look like? They have so darn many. I'd love to find one I like as well for less $$.

LOVE this mascara. Never had a problem removing it, it slips right off in the shower for me.

But it is the same price at ULTA, so no savings here...

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

They're Real performs as advertised. One coat is sufficient to see the mascara, but it can be built up to the fringed thick look if you want that. It doesn't flake or smudge on me. The product does seem to dry out quickly (compared to other brands). Benefit does make a small half size tube for $10. I think that is a better purchase to avoid throwing away unused, but unusable product --because by the time the thickening and drying begins in the tube it's nearly empty.

I will add that the reason I have it is because it's been in the Sephora Mascara Stash box the past couple years. I would never purchase it instead Lancome Definicils or Hypnose.

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

This is my absolute favorite mascara. I received a sample and I was hooked! Best mascara and wand as it catches all of your lashes.

Have tried and use many different mascara's... Have very skimpy light lashes... I really like CG Flamed Out, also Maybelline Falsies they both give me nice volume.. I also like Just a Buck LA Colors lash building as they come in some nice colors... I am from the old school as just to say... Like to use some mascara's that match my eye shadow...

To add I always use a lash primer before applying my mascara's... Even with my dry sensitive eyes have not problem with using any of these...

Re: Benefit They're Real! Mascara

I have some They're Real! mascara now & I don't care for it. What I have is a sample size birthday gift from Sephora. It is slightly clumpy & I am not sure if that is normal or if they gave me old product. I would not buy it, that is for sure.
