Benefit: They’re Real! Mascara

I wanted to review this product for awhile but for some reason I kept putting it off. I’ll be honest, as much as everyone seems to ADORE this mascara I’m not the biggest fan. I really wanted it to live up to all the hype and when one of my favorite youtube girls Nicole said she loved it I decided it would be worth spending the $22.00 at Ulta.

To be fair I don’t dislike it, it does give my eyelashes a really beautiful curl and I think it makes them much longer than they are naturally. The wand is pretty good and I like the little spiky thing at the end that lets you get down toward the roots of your lashes. That said… I hate how waxy the formula feels and how hard it is for me to take this stuff off. I also wish it added a bit more volume and darkness. I still feel like I need to follow it up with my L’oreal Carbon Black mascara to get the blackness I like and that’s kind of annoying since its a $22.00 mascara.

Personally I don’t think this will be an item I repurchase but it is worth a try if you are looking for a mascara that will really curl and define your lashes. Let me know how it worked for you!
