Please tell me your opinions on Benefit They're Real mascara

[foolssilver]

Thinking of buying it but after a lot of money wasted on mascara purchases I need your advice.

Thanks

I had some as a present one Christmas. It wasn't something I'd ever used but I must admit I thought it was good.

But I think it's overpriced. I just can't bring myself to spend £20 to replace it. There must be something out there equally good for less.

try the cheaper smaller version first. i don't like it at all, it's really hard to put on, too much faffing about (using the brush vertically) and i don't like the wand. it's awful to get off later too.

you might like it though, i think Boots do a small version for a tenner or so.

Still stick with max factor masterpiece max

I didn't like it

It was a bit spidery on and it was like tar to get off

I was in a Travel lodge with no make up remover and I had to spend about 4 hours using the horrible scratchy towel to scrape it off my face whilst looking like a Tim Burton character

You can't go wrong with MF Masterpiece

Yup MF masterpiece wins every time

I like the results, but it takes ages to remove it with make up remover. Then after I think it's all off and I wash my face there seems to be loads more.

Yes, catgirl - it's like tar!

I wouldn't buy it again.

I got a small one free with a magazine.

It's good mascara but hard to get off.

I like Clinique curling mascara (in a silver tube) - semi waterproof, comes off with warm water and gentle rubbing with fingertips.

I wasn't impressed.

I agree. Nice mascara but a bugger to get off.

They're Real indeed, real horrible. Didn't like it at all, glued my eyelashes together into some weird spider legs.

I love it! It's the only mascara that I can put on without getting a dollop of it on my eyelid. It comes off with Simple eye-make-up remover or my Alpha H balancing cleaner.

Forgot to mention I don't bother faffing with the vertical bit.

It comes straight off for me using Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (or the cheaper Superdrug versions) and I like the fact that it doesn't shift during the day.

I liked it but there's a Barry m one that's more or less the same

This one

i personally didnt like it as found it too clumpy. Benefit rep suggested maybelline one by one which i got and like at fraction of price

Not impressed with it. Wasn't easy to put on, didn't like texture/consistency and didn't create effect I expected.

I've tried lots of diff mascaras but keep coming back to MF Masterpiece ( waterproof). Always looking for the HG but for the price it's v good.

I love it, but it's nothing compared to Diorshow Iconic. Now THAT'S a mascara.

Waste of money. Hated it. I like max factor false lash effect. Hope that helps. X

It really isn't worth £20. I was pressure sold a tube when 9 months pregnant, hot n bothered and weak by the pushy Benefit sales child
I do use it but agree with others that is is gunky and nothing not already sold elsewhere for a fiver.
I get it off okay ish with body shop chamomile eye make up remover.

It's shite.

Hth.

i love it

this is my favourite at the moment although I have used They're Real in the past and got on with it quite well.

I tried Dior Show because of the hype, but found it so bad I actually gave it away!

depends on what your lashes are like, my friend it looks amazing on. me not so much.

on myself its good at lengthening but doesn't give much volume.

Thanks everyone

I think I'll give it a miss then and have a look at Max Factor. Not tried them in ages so time to revisit I think.
