    This is the best mascara I have ever purchased (and yes, I do frequently purchase high and low end mascaras). When they say that this stuff makes your lashes look fake they aren't kidding- it makes them long, plump, and separated. Perfect.
    The only negative about this mascara is that it is difficult to wash off- with or without remover. Other than that, everything about it is phenomenal.
    It will make your eyelashes touch our eyebrows if you apply several coats.

    I love this mascara! It took me a while to figure out how to use it properly but once I did - Wow! First, it separate and thickens the lashes and then when you brush through the lashes with the tip (you'll know what I mean when you see the brush), it adds a lot of length and lifts. Who needs false lashes after discovering this product!

    After trying almost every single drugstore mascara, I decided to try one that was a little more high end. I noticed immediate results from the first application of this mascara! Cheaper mascaras always had one great quality, but had a downfall on another. But Benefit they're Real! Mascara does well in every aspect. It lengthens every individual lash, thickens the lash without getting clumpy. This mascara is also buildable so you can put on more than one application. It also intesifies the lashes so your eyes become the focal point. The price is around 22 dollars, however, I found that the quality was well worth the price.

    LOVE THIS - its the only mascara I found that that really defines each and eevery lash. Its dark black color is great and last throughout the day.

    I call this mascara "hairspray for the lashes" because it hold the lashes up VERY well. But at the same time it dries really fast, and reapplying is impossible. Like hairspray, once its styled and sprayed you cant do much with it anymore! But with fast hands you can layer this mascara quickly before it dries and sets into place. It's not waterproof, but i haven't had to deal with smudging (yet)

    I bought the mini to try it for $12 and I fell in love. Maybe its helpful that I bought the mini because I can really get in close and have better control with the brush and have really separated lashes with no clumps. And if your favorite mascara isn't working the same like it use to its probably just to old and time to replace it. For sure worth the try.

    I absolutely love this mascara! I was at the Benefit counter trying on something else, and the sales person showed me this new mascara, putting it on one eye so I could compare - wow. You could really see the difference vs my normal drugstore brand mascara.

    I like this because I feel like it makes my eyes look great and 'finished' every time I'm wearing it, even when I don't have any other makeup on. It lengthens my lashes, finds all the little side lashes that you don't usually reach, and I can layer it as thick as I like without it clumping. I normally have major clumping issues with every mascara I use and this is the first one that, three months on, is still working just as good as the day I got it.

    Overall great defining mascara, would definitely recommend. While the price is higher than you could get with some other brands, it's worth it for the great lasting quality.

    This is the best mascara that I have tried! Having naturally long lashes, I am looking for a mascara that will curl and really add some drama. This mascara did just that! It actually looks like I have false lashes on when I am wearing this! Love it! I would repurchase for sure.

    I was sceptical when this came out. I heard a lot about this, so after a month or so I went out and bought it. Best decision mascara-wise ever. It makes your lashes look great, evenly spaced long, thick, FALSE! So glad I bought it. The price is a bit steep but the tube will last you a while. Great buy!
