I recently strolled into Myer and decided to spoil myself with a trip to the Benefit counter!
I had been given a sample of the They're Real Mascara on a previous trip to the counter and decided that I needed the full version, but I never expected to leave with what I left with!
While there, I picked up the full size mascara, which ever-so-kindly came with a free sample size of the brand new They're Real push-up liner, and I also grabbed myself one of their best-selling eyebrow products, Gimme Brow.
Upon first use of the products, I can honestly say that these three are my new holy grail eye products.
Let me start with the mascara.
The wand is sturdy, with a flexible ball ending which helps to coat, elongate and thicken the lashes, while the shorter bristles allow close contact with the lashline, and provide separation and length.
It is also very hard to mess up with this mascara, as it dries super fast and if you brush it softly on your eyelid, it will hardly leave any pigmentation on the skin.
If it does leave some pigment on the skin, wait for it to dry and it will just flake straight off; NO SMUDGES!
Next, eyebrows.
Due to my naturally blonde hair, it has always been difficult for me to grow nice even and dark eyebrows. Until now!
Gimme Brow is a "brow-volumising fiber gel" and I bought mine in the colour light/medium.
The small brush allows for precise application, and the pigmentation is so perfect for my eyebrows!
I've never used an eyebrow gel that has given me better looking eyebrows, great colour and cements them to my face without looking tacky!
The formula lasts all day and maintains shape, colour and fullness. AMAZING!
I fill in my brows lightly with an eyebrow pencil to give them a bit of shape, then run over them with this product and my eyebrow game has never been stronger!
Finally, the eyeliner.
I honestly cannot rave about this product enough.
It is a gel formula inside a soft nibbed pen which allows for precise and easy application!
What I will say is the formula does dry very quickly so you need to work quite fast, but it is so easy to use that it's hardly an issue. It's super easy to do wings with too for all you sassy ladies and gents ;)
The thing that impressed me the most about this product was the pigmentation.
I've used gel liners before, and I do prefer them over liquids, but it always takes two or three coats to get them super black (which for someone who needs to stand out on stage, I need) but the pigmentation of the They're Real push-up liner got me so excited, I called one of my best friends and raved about it before I had finished applying it!
It is the blackest, smoothest gel liner I've ever used and I will DEFINITELY be buying the full size when my sample runs out!
One coat gives me the same result as three coats of other gel liners I've used. It's perfect, I love it and you will too.
Overall, this eye combo is so worth the price, and I am so so so so so happy I decided to splurge and spoil myself! I can't see myself turning back any time soon!
Love love,
