    Benefit is the absolute best for mascara, in my opinion. They're Real and BADgal are my two favourite mascaras ever. They're Real gives me super long, cat's-eye lashes that last all day. It doesn't clump, and it goes on really smooth. I love that the applicator has a ball shaped spiked tip, which gives the outer edge of my lashes that nice, cat-eye sweep. Very pricey (about $30) but definitely worth it!

    I love this mascara. Though the price is nothing special (Around 30) it does go on easy, the colour lasts all day and it isn't a nightmare to try to get off at night. I really like that there are bristles at the top that can be used to help put mascara on your bottom lashes easier.

    After having used two travel sizes of this mascara, I have to say, I don't get what all the hype was about.

    This mascara has an interesting wand, to say the least. It starts off as a regular wand, and then bubbles out at the tip. The bubble tip is recommended to be used vertically, to separate and define lashes. That never really worked out for me. It was just awkward, and more often than not it stuck my lashes together. It felt more like a gimmick than anything else.

    When using the regular part of the wand to apply the mascara as I normally would, I found that bits of product would cling to the tips of lashes and I'd have to pick it off after the product had dried. For such an expensive, high end mascara, this should not be happening.

    After all was said and done and I'd worn the mascara for a full day, it had either flaked or smudged all around my under eye area. Again, for the price, this shouldn't be happening.

    There are so many good mascaras out there that are more affordable. I don't see the point in this one. It's average, at best.

    Hands down the better mascara I have ever used! And I did try a lot of them. My lashes looks super long and full. It is hard to remove, but with a good oil base remover it's not that bad. Event if it's an expensive mascara, it is worth the price! Would definitely recommend.

    This mascara didn't work for my lashes at all. It made them clump together so it looked like I had half the lashes I actually have. It wasn't a cute look.

    They REALLY are real, I swear! This mascara gives the same look as a set of fake eyelashes. Lengthens and gives volume to existing lashes. I just bought this and the first day I wore it I got compliments!

    This mascara is more on the pricier side.. ($31CAD at Sephora). But it does add more length to my lashes (not very much volume though). I have to be careful when using this product because it tends to clump my lashes together, which is a very popular look these days but I don't like that look. It is also hard to get off, I have to put makeup remover on a pad and let it soak on my eye for a bit.

    My cousin had recommended this mascara to me. She had been using it for some time and I decided to try it. I purchased it from Sephora and I instantly fell in love. It is very easy to apply and separates my lashes. It thickens easily as well. I don;t have a Sephora in my city, but it is available at Shoppers Drug Mart.

    This is okay! I found it smudged on me quite a bit.. even just being outside in the summer with the heat. I have oily skin too which may be why it smudged on me. It is a good, average mascara if you want that, but it is not a wonderful HG product in my opinion.

    Got this mascara as a gift on my birthday and got upset. Well, it works great, but very hard to get it off. You have to rub eyes and eyelashes, which is not ok. The price is a it expensive and plus it doesn`t make volume on my eyelashes. So frustrated with this product.
