Benefit They’re Real Mascara review

Discover the amazing lash transformation you’ll get with Benefit They’re Real mascara

Benefit have just launched their brand new mascara Benefit They’re Real. A consumer panel survey run by them boasted the most impressive results with an amazing 100% claiming to have seen long wearing results. With such rave reviews hysteria was generated – but does it live up to its claims?

My interest in this mascara was established when I saw a picture of the results the mascara had on lashes with a before and after photo – the transformation was simply breathtaking. If you’ve read my review on Bad Gal lash mascara, I wasn’t too impressed so I was really hoping for better results this time.

So what’s Benefit They’re Real like?

The mascara comes in a pretty small silver tube with pretty plain packaging. Another surprise for Benefit who are famed for their quirky designs, so perhaps the product is what makes it a must buy this time around.

It has a plastic brush with a spiky bit on the end which gives it that added oomph. To get the best results Benefit recommend that you wave the wand both horizontally to give lashes volume and length then vertically to add curl.

After applying I was pretty impressed with Benefit They’re Real mascara, my lashes were longer then when a traditional mascara was used and I managed to get a curl effect.

At £19.50 the product isn’t cheap, but on this occasion I would say it was well worth it as it gives the best false lash effect I have had with any mascara. On the downside the product comes out quite quick so you will get slight clumping – but I can live with that.

I’d give it a 4/5.
