Benefit "They're Real" Mascara Review 





After heading the rave reviews for this product I had high hopes of this mascara. I have to admit that it lived up to the you tuber and blogger hype. After only two coats I managed to obtain this result to my right eyelashes. You can see this by the image below. 













It allows for extreme volumising and making my lashes separate effectively giving the impression of fuller eyelashes. 
My only issue with this product is that it isn't created for lengthening the lashes due to its volumising. To combat this problem I paired this product with L'oreals "Telescopic Mascara" as it has the opposite problem in that it does a brilliant job lengthening yet cannot volumise to the extent of the "They're real"


All in all I would give this product a 9/10 as it is probably one of the better mascaras I have tried this year.

Benefit new gift set " World famous neutrals "

Yesterday I acquired the pallet "Eyenessa's easiest nudes ever". My inclination to the gift set was how it contained two gorgeous creamy eyeshadows. The tips and tricks for the day to night eye looks were basic and completely expected, no suprises although simple and flattering for the eyes,nothing too dramatic. Perfect for a beginner in make up looking for a starter kit into make up.








My favourite pressed shadow of the bunch was "thanks a latte". A cute play on words and also a shimmery coffee colour with gold specks of glitter running throughout the pallet. A pop of unexpected gold in a regular eye look would, in my opinion be the bed way to wear it. Maybe in the outer crease or more toward the inner corner.


My least favourite was the 'pinky swear'. I'm not so sure  why it was paced into this collection however I have no use at all for the colour .I was unimpressed by its colour pay off and it will most likely be the colour in my collection that will never hit pan.

Cream eyeshadows. I was delighted with the two cream based eye shadows provided with they're colours seemingly sliding onto the lid and staying there for a long space of time. Out of both of them I leaned more towards 'r.s.v.p'. This colour is a peculiar dark pink that would be perfect in the inner corner of the eye to brighten.

Overall I would give this set an 8/10. For the price and the amount of wearable colours it would be a fantastic set for a newcomer into the make up scene.
