c/o Benefit
I've been a huge fan of Benefit cosmetics for the past 10 years, I love trying out their new products and I was recently sent this little bundle to review! First impressions were really good, if you've read another blog review you may already know that this package came with a working video (you just insert a USB cable and BOOM, it plays) ...Seriously. Bonus points for creativity!
They're Real Push-Up Liner
I don't usually use liquid liner, I tend to use a pencil eyeliner for quickness or a gel liner if I'm feeling fancy. I don't have the steadiest hand in the world so I was a bit apprehensive about trying this! Thankfully, it's extremely easy to use. The rubber tip allows you to get really close to your lashline (something I sometimes struggle with) and because it's a pen, application is just approx 19191 x easier. When I first swatched it, I was shocked that it wouldn't budge when wiped. This stuff is heavy duty and hella long-lasting - result! Figuring out how to get the liquid out wasn't the easiest...Thank goodness for Google. *Apparently* you click the base 1-2 times to and then the gel appears, but on the first use I probably had to click it about 10 times before anything happened.
I still require a lot of practice before I get the perfect application, but next time I wear it in an outfit post I'll be sure to mention it! I think it's a pretty reasonable price for a Benefit eyeliner which is so long-lasting. It's obvious a lot of thought went into the design of this, those Benebabes sure know their stuff! Would I recommend it? Hellz yeah if you have a steady hand!
They're Real Mascara
I was also sent a mini version of the They're Real Mascara which I've already been using for a little while. I know this mascara has been heavily raved about in the blogging community, but anyone who has it knows how darn stubborn it is to remove. Although the added volume/lengthening is undeniable, fighting to get it off every night (and losing a lot of lashes in the process) completely put me off. I was team BADgal all the way. UNTIL...I tried this little product:
They're Real Eye Makeup Remover
TA-DA! This makeup remover is a must-have for anyone using the They're Real Mascara or Eyeliner. Ooooh boy. Battling to get your waterproof mascara/eyeliner off is a thing of the past thanks to this baby! It removes eye makeup with ease and has made me fall in love with the mazzie. Double win. I can now have awesome statement eyes without the fear of taking half my eyelashes off before bed.
Have you tried any of the They're Real collection? Are you a fellow Benebabe?
T - Hella impressed.
I'm soo glad they've introduced a remover as I find the mascara a pain to remove too! Totally loving the usb idea too :)

I don't think I've ever seen you with kitten flicks! I really love the mascara in this range - I was lucky enough to win one and I'm super impressed! xxx
ReplyDeleteI actually love it because of its pitch black cream. Some people don't like it that much, but for me it pretty works! xx
ReplyDeleteI tend not to use many eyeliners as I just dont have the steady hand for it - it usually ends up all over my face.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of it, but better stick with pencils to be safe :)

I've also been a Benefit fan for yonks. I used to be all about the BADgal mascara before I tried They're Real a couple of years ago - it's my favourite by far but I agree that it's a pain to remove - might have to try Benefit's remover!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute set, Benefit have such great quality makeup! The makeup remover sounds good, removing mascara is always a tricky one!
ReplyDeleteI love the mascara it's amazing! xx
