    I like this mascara, got a few tubes as perk/sample, ended up picking up a full size because i loved using it just after I curled my lashes. For me, it acted like a extra hold hairspray for my lashes. My lashes don't hold a curl well, not matter how long I hold the curler, pump the curler, even tried heating the metal band of the curler. My lashes always ended up falling. Just like the hair on my head does everything in its power to drop a curl, lest my stylist use a whole can of extra firm hairspray on my entire head.


    So, I found this mascara was good at holding a curl. I used it as a base. Then layers other mascaras that did a better job of lengthening and thickening my lashes. I did like how They're Real separated every lash and coated it in mascara (the wand is rubber with pointy bristles to really separate and coat, love the applicator). Where as other mascaras tended to clump lashes together, resulting In a mess and giving me a look I wasn't really going for.


    The formula is a little on the drier side than other formulas. Which helps with the curl, i think it also helps the mascara stay put all day. When I've worn this on its own, it hasn't run on me despite being a contact lens wearer that uses eye drops (central air can sometimes irritate my eyes & contacts; or while I'm testing new eyeliners). It's so good at staying in place that I believe Benefit came out with their own removed for their eyeliner and mascara. But i use Lancôme bi-facial makeup remover (half oil/liquid remover) and I don't have any trouble removing it at the end of the day. So, love the staying power & the dryer formula for curl and definition.

    I really hate this mascara, I found it made my lashes look clumpy and spider like. The Formula is average at best and the brush just was a pain and really difficult to work with. I had to give this mascara away to friend because I hated it so much. I wish it had worked well on my lashes, but it was just a GIGANTIC disappointment.

    I've used many other mascaras but this one just can't be beat. It provides such a beautiful coat of mascara and the brush gets right to the roots of my eyelashes; making them dramatic and my eyes pop. Both the mascara formula and the brush are of high quality, and running in at about $29 CDN, this is worth every penny.

    This is one of my favorite mascaras. It is a little pricer but I buy this from Sephora and get points so that kind of makes it worth it. It separates my lashes and doesn't smudge.

    This is my go to mascara! It makes my lashes look so full yet still natural. It barely clumps up and the formula is just perfect. Currently using the last amount from my second bottle and looking to re purchase this product again.

    This mascara is by far my saviour. Non clumping, long lasting length all day! I have tried every mascara out there and after using they're real I will not switch ever again!

    I love this product! It is pricey but better then most mascaras, the only downfall is it is hard to get off. My fav. going out mascara, I recommend it to everyone!

    Am I the only one who is not head over heels crazy about this mascara? I think it works just fine... But nothing amazing or to call home about. It does make your eyelashes look great but a brand new CoverGirl mascara can do the exact same thing. For the price of this product, I expect it to blow your socks off! For me, unfortunately it failed. It leaves these black tubes or latex residue on my lashes when I try to take them off. Too much effort to remove and I ain't got time fo' that! It's good but I'm just not in love... I am in love with Benefit's BadGal lash mascara!!!!! They're Real Mascara just didn't do it for me. I will not repurchase.

    I really love this mascara. The eyelashes are more longer and voluminous. The only problem is its price which is quite high. This is why I don't buy this product frequently.

    I really like the coverage of this mascara. It goes on easily and last all day. It is actually hard to get off. The wand is made nice. I like the packaging as well.
