That stupid fucking bounce mascara from benefit. Literally back to back to back amazing mascara releases (they’re real, roller lash, badgal bang) then this dry, flaky nightmare that if I apply at 10:43 covers my under eyes in dried product by 11:00am sharp. To hell.

Honestly I think mascara has changed - first pic is giving me Benefit's "They're Real" vibes.

Better than Sex is awful, one of the few mascaras that smudges and flakes on me no matter what I do. Try Mac Stack, Benefit They're Real, Diorshow or any by Maybelline and you'll see the difference.

It's better to use 2 or 3 thin coats of mascara than 1 thick coat. Korean mascaras are typically better than Western ones. They clump less.

They're real mascara by benefit 😁 Aside from the brush stabbing my eye too many times it is damned impossible to remove.

Benefit's They're Real is the single best dramatic mascara I've ever used. It's a pain in the ass to remove though so I rarely wear it.

Tinted lash primer is a game changer! I use the Benefit They're Real tinted lash primer in brown. For my top lashes, I coat with the primer, separate the lashes with a spoolie, fill in my lash line with a brown liquid eyeliner, then go back in with a dark brown or black mascara and separate with a s

Revlon lip butters x100000. Also, benefit They're Real mascara, but in brown. They still do it in black, but I loved the brown. 💔

you don’t NEED high end make up in order to level up your make up routine. i feel like back in the days it was a case of a clear difference and high end make up did outdo drugstore brands. now i think there’s less of a line, and cheaper brands have really come a long way, personally i think this is
