Limited Edition Benefit x Swarovski They're Real Mascara* / Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner

For a very limited time only, Benefit Cosmetic's cult favourite They're Real Mascara will be flaunting a new matte black packaging, embellished with Swarovski crystals. Same great formula, same quality, same unique wand.

Now you all know that I am already a long-time fan of the Benefit They're Real Mascara. This product claims to effectively lengthen, curl, volumize, lift and separates the lashes. It's jet black, long-wearing formula is smudge proof, and will not dry out.

The design and packaging of the limited edition They're real mascara is stunning… It feels luxurious and looks glamorous with an edgy bad-ass #lashitude appeal. The wand is straight with firm plastic bristles which I find to be perfect for lengthening and separating the lashes. The custom dome-tip helps to precisely coat even the tiniest lashes to define and emphasise the lashes from root to tip.

This mascara really does live up to all it's claims.  It lengthens, volumises and lifts the lashes to define  and hold in your curls, replicating falsies…it's no wonder the mascara itself has to proclaim that they're real! The formula is waterproof, transfer proof and smudge proof for a minimum of 8 hours and will not irritate the eyes, flake away or weigh down the lashes. Bear in mind, this mascara can and will start to visibly clump after 3 generous coats, and it can take a little bit more effort to remove with generic make up wipes or make up remover so you're best off investing in the Benefit They're Real Remover, which from what I hear, is a creamy gel formula that's very gentle and dissolves waterproof make up like a boss…Something I might need to pick up at a nearest counter because…

The Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner is an innovative Lash-hugging gel liner. This product is impressively long-lasting - I'm talking all day wear without smudging, transferring or drying out and flaking away. This gives me crisp dramatic wings day to night without having to touch up or clean up! It's ultra-matte black formula hugs the lash line and gives my eyes a more bigger and open look. The Accuflex tip proved to be pretty helpful as well, pushing down the lashes so I can get a more closer and precise application.

This push up gel liner does take a little bit of practice and will require wiping before each use for a smooth, fresh application. The Benefit They're Real eyeliner also proved to be a little difficult to remove, so you're definitely going to rely on a really good make up remover to gently dissolve all the product off…regardless it is one of the best eyeliners I have ever tried that did not smudge, rub off or transfer (common problems with typical Asian monolids).

The They're Real Push Up Liner is now available at Benefit counters at Myers and online for $37 aud and the Limited Edition They're Real Mascara will retail for $45 aud early next month.
