They're Real! I swear

(Benefit They're Real Mascara, £18.50)

Now if you haven't heard of Benefit's They're Real mascara, where have you been hiding?! Being hailed as the UK's best selling mascara I had great expectations for this product. Although I wasn't running out the door to buy it, perhaps because of the steep price tag. 

I would usually shy away from plastic mascara wands as I have felt they don't work very well for me in the past, (and poking yourself in the eye with one is not pleasant). However, I have to say I got on very well with this one! They're Real creates exceptional length there is no doubt about it. Personally I apply around two coats of this stuff as I have very fair eyelashes, but once it dries there's not much hope of adding another coat. 

Benefits 

• Great wand, especially the rounded end which grasps the outer lashes better than most.
• Lengthening 
• Holds curl very well    
• Lovely packaging 

The only issue I have with this mascara is that it can be very difficult to remove, although this does mean that it stays put all day :)

 

Have you tried the UK's best selling mascara?
