They're Real! Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara

Meh.

This product gives me racoon eyes. I apply it before work, and I notice by mid shift I need to wipe off parts of my under eye. I'm a bartender so I know I have a physical, active job but this mascara doesn't stand up to my other favorites. It is also hard to wash off. There's always crumbs and streaks left behind even after I use make up remover and face cleanser. The only reason I gave 2 stars is because if I've done a really smokey eye, the racoon eyes kinda blend in and you don't notice as much. I can't return it because I got it with a mascara sample pack coupon from years ago- but I would return it.

Used daily

I love this product! It’s a pain to wash off but worth it

So hard to remove

I wanted to love this mascara, and in a way, I do -- it's long-lasting and waterproof, and it makes my lashes look so long and curled up -- but gosh it is SO HARD to remove. Even with an oil cleanser, I still struggle. I've lost so many lashes since using it that I will definitely not repurchase.

Smudges easily but hard to clean

I really wanted to love this product. The brush is great. It grabs all of your lashes to give you a great lift but it smudges like crazy! Within 2 hours of being at work I have to start wiping my under eyes. At the end of the day all my concealer is gone. What’s even worse is the clean up of this product. It’s extremely difficult and it isn’t even waterproof. I have to use a wipe and Clinique’s make up cleaner (oil) and the. 2 more face washes to get 90% off. It’s really annoying. I’m stripping the skin under my eyes.

Decent mascara but leaks

It’s a good mascara for volume and lengthening but it leaks on the lower lashes onto the under eye so I stopped using it.

So disappointed

I used to love this mascara, after using other ones I came back to it and it's awful. The mascara doesn't stay on my lashes but slowly melts down and creats large black under eyes. Save your money.

Used to be amazing...

This was my go-to for so long since it was one of the few that didn't give me raccoon eyes. In fact, it was so good I had to leave and oil cleanser for a min just to take it off. I don't know what changed but it doesn't last more that 3hrs now. Even tried opening a new one. So disappointed.

She’s cute ig

** Not nakeytime-proof ** she isnt as clumpy as rollerlash due to the more slick formula (truly gliiides onto the lashes) however this means she takes a lot longer to dry and it’s hard to avoid getting it on your skin when you blink and having to wait longer for it to dry before cleaning up said splotches, the stopper also doesn’t get nearly as much product off the wand as it should thus a lot of time is spent scraping all the excess product off the end of the wand. She’s also a very runny mascara and ANY contact / perspiration leads to immediate raccoon eye. Def needs an upgrade on the stopper at least bc the lashes to be lashing once you do all you gotta do to apply it and clean up the inevitable mess.

Raccoon eyes!

The product definitely give you amazing length BUT an hour after putting the mascara on, there is black fall out on the bottom of my eye.

A must have

I seriously have gotten so many compliments on my lashes when I use this mascara. People legit ask if I got false lashes.

Do Not Buy

needed mascara in a rush and have been using Benefit's eyebrow pencils for years and just trusted it without knowing anything. ISSUES: this mascara quickly bleeds onto your face (both under eye and lid) but also is incredibly difficult to remove. it's actually the worst mascara i've ever used :'(

My HG No More

They’re smudgy. They’re raccoonish. They’re flaky. This used to be my one and only. A reformulation was a big error. I’m really disappointed. I will never buy Benefit again.
