Benefit They're Real! Mascara Reviews

They are real! Impressed!
I bought this mascara on a whim after being enticed by the subliminal yet effective way it was displayed on the checkout counter of the store. It turns out to be a good purchase. The product is reasonably priced and performs well. My lashes were defined and separated, though not fake looking. I didn'thave any clumping when I applied it lightly and built upon each coat. Sure, we all know how to apply mascara but the instructions and tips included were helpful. Three coats worked for me without being too stiff or gloppy. The mascara didn't smear or flake off, even in humidity. Yay! Everyone's lashes are different and results will vary. For me, this product worked well and it will be one of the mascaras I'd purchase again. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful

Good, Not Great
Got this as a birthday present sample from Sephora. It's a glossy black and goes on glossy and smooth initially, but the product begins to get thicker and clumpy a week or so after first use. The bristles are long, sharp and somewhat thin, so be careful not to poke yourself. This might just be the huge wand in the sample, though. It also has a "ball" of bristles on the end, meant for getting those hard to reach corners and lower lashes and smoothing out the ends. I read that somewhere, not sure where. But the ball isn't covered in enough bristles, so it doesn't really do much. I did notice that my lashes dried feeling soft, not brittle, but only after I'd brushed out the clumps. My lashes were slightly longer and thicker and the color was deep and black, but I prefer my usual Maybelline Define-A-Lash. My first Benefit mascara - not sure I'd try again. — 4 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

long lashes with staying power
I bought a small tube of this because I was curious about it. My curiosity proved to be a good thing here. My lashes look long and defined. The brush helps get every lase including those hard-to-reach inner lashes. I also love that it stays all day with no smudging or flaking. It also doesn't dry out my lashes. The only downside is that it can be hard to remove. But overall, I absolutely love this mascara. — 10 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Worth the money
I was excited to buy and try this mascara because I wanted to see if all the hype was really true. For $23 I was going to be mad if it wasn't lol. However, the brush applicator was perfect when I opened it so I knew I would love it. It has a hard combed applicator that separates all my lashes including my hard to get bottom lashes. The formula smells pleasant, the product color is a great natural black, and my lashes are longer, thicker, and clump free! No flakes, no smudge, just beautiful, separated, thick lashes! Very pleased and proud of this mascara. Good job Benefit! — 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Oh A Dilemma.
I absolutely love this mascara for a night time look. It really adds volume for clean, full lashes, without smudging nor flaking. However, I do have my bone to pick with it. While this mascara does add tons of volume, it is quite expensive and it doesn't do so hot when it comes to lengthening my lashes. I also have a problem of my lashes de-curling by midday if I put it on in the morning. I can't complain too much because I do love the falsies-like effect it gives, but I do wish it was just slightly cheaper for the slack in the other categories! — 10 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

I like it
I was happy to get this in my free birthday gift from Sephora. I really like how it separates my lashes and curls it. The black really makes my eyes pop. This is a product I'm considering buying when I need more. — 2 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Best for a noob with short eyelashes like me
This mascara is the best I've ever used and I've only used the samples I get from Sephora. It's awesome for girls with short lashes like myself. It makes it look more dramatic and actually DOES lift them for me. — 1 week, 4 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great Mascara and oh so great!
I got this mascara as a sample at first. I tried it with no real expectations and with in the few minutes of having it on, I fell in love with it. It lengthens and adds a lot of WOW factor that I love. It really does look like I put my false lashes on. Since using this mascara I have not used my false lashes, and I don't plan on using them anytime soon even for my engagement photos. This mascara goes on smooth and really clean. It also stays fabulous all day, and comes off easily with eye make-up remover. It is worth every penny! I have recommended it to all my friends mom. — 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Holy Cow
This is the best mascara I have ever tried. I just bought it one day because they recommended it at Sephora, when I ran out I tried buying a drugstore brand that I hoped would do the same because I was broke... and it did not. A week later I went back to Sephora and coughed up the $22 for it. Once you try this, you won't want anything else. It makes your lashes look fake, it's super lengthening and thickening and the brush gets kudos too for having the extra bristles on the tip to get the corners really good. It's amazing. Try getting a sample when Sephora is giving things away and try it first. — 2 weeks, 1 day agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not Quite a 10
This is a great, long-lasting mascara, but what I didn't like about this product is the before and after photo on the package leads you to believe that it will make your lashes look like false lashes. Not so much. I did my own before and after photos, which you can see if you visit my site, Pretty Proof. — 2 weeks, 4 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
