MY 2 CENTS
I received a travel size of Benefit They’re Real! mascara in my September 2012 TopBox
“They’re real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. Our jet black, long-wearing formula won’t smudge or dry out. A specially designed brush reveals lashes you never knew you had!”- excerpt from Benefit website
They’re Real! is a pretty awesome mascara. It definitely gives my lashes that va-va-voom factor by darkening and lengthening them. It also defines and elongates my lower lashes incredibly!
I’ve experience no clumping or flaking and it doesn’t disappear throughout the day.
I am so happy with this mascara and would definitely pay the $30 to stock this in my kit.

I love this mascara. It takes forever to come off.
siciliannabeauty
You’re right, it does take a bit for it come off! Totally worth every penny.

This is my FAVORITE mascara and I agree with you ladies… awful to take off! I started using Sephoras waterproof eye makeup remover – works wonders!
siciliannabeauty
Haven’t tried that remover- is it oil based!?
pearlsandparis
It is oil based but very gentle.
siciliannabeauty
Awesome. Thanks :)

I have always wanted to try this mascara but since I stopped wearing mascara, I haven’t thought about buying it. I know that they sell travel size tubes at Sephora, maybe I’ll start off with that.
siciliannabeauty
Travel sizes are good! They still last about 6 weeks or so.

I used Bad Gal a really long time ago but from what I can remember, I wasn’t too “wowed” by it!
Marlene
I have little lashes.. & your seems to be extra long & thick :)
So prob why I am liking the Bad Girl .
siciliannabeauty
I need to try Bad Gal again though!
Marlene
Your lashes do look nice in this mascara
siciliannabeauty
Thanks!
Sara
I’m wearing it right now and I loooove it. If you use MUFE Sens’ Eyes makeup remover, it comes right off!
siciliannabeauty
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
