They're Real

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.

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.

I used that one too. It’s a dupe of Benefit They’re Real and performs ok. I have moved over to tubing mascaras because I’m oily and use drops throughout the day and don’t want to encourage smudging. I still might get another anyway because I remember liking it.

My favorite right now is Bad Girl BANG! but have used They're Real for years too and it's very good. But Bad Girl BANG! lifts so beautifully and keeps the lashes dreamy all day long.

I was sent this mascara from ipsy it’s the benefit they’re real and oh my god it is so lengthening and gorgeous, not too sheer not too clumpy

Tatcha the silk primer (in the compact)! This looks amazing with any foundation but love it with Kat Von D good apple foundation (in round flat container, but must specifically be used with the Tatcha primer!).

Benefit “They’re Real” mascara used to be my holy grail for probably 10 years. Ever since they reformulated it, it smudges, dries out super fast, and flakes everywhere. So disappointing because the original formula was so good. I stopped using it well over a year ago and switched to Armani “Vertigo”
