Thanks to CurlsandMo for hosting a giveaway on Instagram to win a free Benefit They’re Real! mascara; I won! As if I don’t have enough mascara (some that is still unopened – don’t judge me), why not try one more. Besides, this one gets rave reviews from many other beauty bloggers, like this review from Danielle aka The Style and Beauty Doc. She’s my beauty bestie in my head, so I knew this mascara would give me life.

What They Say

A jet-black mascara that lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts, and separates lashes for a spectacular “out-to-here” look. This breakthrough bestseller reveals lashes you never knew you had! The specially designed brush features staggered bristles that grab close to the root, boosting length and volume beyond belief. The custom-domed tip uses precision bristles to lift, define, and curl even your tiniest lashes. With a glossy, jet-black, long-wearing formula, you’ll flaunt luxurious, silky lashes that won’t smudge, clump, or dry out.

What I Say

Love. Love. Love. This mascara is everything everyone said it would be. I absolutely love the brush and after just a coat or two, BOOM. Lashes for days! It gave me length and just enough of the volume I needed. I put on two coats as usual in the pictures above, and without a doubt there’s a huge difference. I will definitely be wearing this mascara on the regular until it’s all gone. Then I don’t know what I’ll do because I just can’t see paying $23 for ANY mascara. It does come in a deluxe sample size for just $10, but still. However, if you don’t mind dropping $20 or more on a mascara, then They’re Real! is for you. Buy one for me too, okay? Thanks!

Here’s a tip from Benefit: To create more length, wiggle the wand through your lashes while pulling them toward the inner corner of your eye. Then pull lashes toward the outer corner. This helps the formula surround and lengthen each lash.
