Benefit: They're real! Review

Naturally, i was super exited to try this product after reading lots of positive reviews and seeing how amazing some of the results looked. My usual mascara in the Bourjois Paris Volume Glamour ultra black, so i assumed the benefit mascara would match the results of this one if not be better.

When it arrived (i order online) my initial reaction was pleased. The packaging looked awesome and the product looked good. The mascara brush is also good looking, and reassuring that it'd be good at it's job.

However, when i did try the product i was thoroughly disappointed. Applying it gave the same affect as a cheap drugstore brand. It made my eye lashes black however they weren't even slightly voluminous and they didn't appear much different to how they look without make up. They were also quite clumpy and some of my eyelashes were very stuck together, this made it very challenging to remove the mascara afterwards.

So, overall, this product may appear very effective and luxurious, but in my experience i would have been better off buying a cheaper, shops own brand that would of given the same effect. I have always loved benefits products and so had high expectations however the look it gave me was worse than what i expected, by far. I would not recommend buying this and would suggest investing your money in another brand to try. My regular mascara is better and gives me even, spaced out lashes which look very natural yet lengthened.
