AIBU to think that Benefit Cosmetic's is overrated?

[Bumblebeewine]

Hello lovely MNers

Am I the only one who thinks that Benefit's mascara is severely overrated? I have their Bad Gal Lash mascara and the application is nice (nothing special), but an hour afterwards it seems to always be black smudges under my eyes! I've added a photo so you can see what I mean, no eyeliner on so it can't be that! I seriously get on way better with my L'Oréal one, it never leaves any smudges. Am I the only one who think that Benefit are overrated? Is there a mascara of theirs that you love? It may just be this one product, which is fair enough, but I can't be the only one who doesn't like it??
(If anyone wants to recommend another brand or Benefit one then it's welcomed and appreciated!)

This picture has stretched (I think) so apologies for the quality!

I like the brow gel and erase paste and dandelion

I loathe They're Real - gave me massive panda eyes - gave it away after using it twice.

I have deepset/hooded eyes and it's hard for any mascara to cope with. Tubing mascara is the only thing that works. Boring but Estee Lauder Double Wear is really pretty bombproof

I was distinctly underwhelmed by the its real mascara. The roller lash is good. I also like the wow brow, and I've been using one of the lip sticks with inbuilt liner, I like it but the product wears down too fast on the liner side so you end up with an uneven end.

Some of it very overrated - Benetint I'm looking at you.

I really like:

They're Real Mascara
Dandelion powder
Hello Flawless Foundation and Powder
Highbeam(?)

I love the powder, the gimme brows, they're real mascara works really well for me. I also love the Dallas blusher.

I wear a lot of Estee Lauder but I have found the above products to be just as good. I don't rate their foundation and the lipsticks aren't too great.

I found Bad Gal to be rubbish too but RolleLash and They're Real are my jam

Like everyone else says, it's a bit of a mixed bag.

I love:

Roller lash
Dandelion powder and cream
Lolli tint
Hoola powder
Do the hoola face tint.
Porefessional.

Obviously not all at the same time, Dandelion in the winter and Hoola in the summer.

Rollerlash is fab. I find the lip stuff too sticky and eyeshadows don't last well.

Like every company it's hit and miss, love Benetint, Rockateur blusher, lemonaid and dandelion.
