Benefit They're Real Mascara

Beauty editors went nuts over Benefit's They're Real Mascara a good few months ago, however, I've only just got round to trying it. My Boots points have reached the £20 and I could save them no longer.

The wand is cleverly designed to catch even your smallest lashes and I found with a few strokes I created the false lash look Benefit alluded to.

 I haven't had any problems with clumping or smudging as the formula clings to my lashes tightly. However, this also gives the products its only downfall, I do find it trickier to remove than other mascaras. My more sensitive cleansers have struggled, requiring a more robust face wash, which isn't ideal around the eye area. So maybe I'll use it when I want more striking lashes rather than everyday.

As you'd expect from Benefit its not the cheapest mascara out there (£18.50/8.5g) but think of the cash you'll save in false lashes!

Available from Boots and Feel Unique (£18.50) among others.
