Unless you've been living under a rock when it comes to beauty products in the past couple of months. I have a feeling you will be more than aware that Benefit Cosmetics have released two brand new eye make-up products; the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner and the They're Real! Remover.
I've had a good couple of weeks to really put the three products, when you include the They're Real! Mascara, to the test. So if you're looking for an in-depth review of the Benefit They're Real! trio. Then you've come to the right place.
Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner £18.50
The formula itself is a true matte black gel which doesn't smudge, budge or fade. I couldn't believe how incredibly quickly this liner dries. That's perhaps my only minor issue with the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner. If you're not quick or particularly neat when applying this then. It's not the easiest of products to quickly alter or remove. Once it has dried it's there for good, which isn't necessarily a negative at all. As long as you have a good eye make-up remover at hand.
When you first use the Push-Up Liner you only need to twist the base a couple of times before the gel appears from the AccuFlex™ tip. I purposefully twisted the bottom of the product several more times than you would need to ordinarily. Just to show you how the product is dispensed and how it appears when you use it.
Can you tell I had fun playing with this the first time I used it? Hehe. As you can see, you can really create a variety of thicknesses and flicks with this liner. You can even use the liner to create a smoky kohl-like effect. Which hopefully the last three lines demonstrate.
Now as I briefly mentioned above, this stuff does not budge at all once it has dried. There is no need to reapply this liner throughout the day. And it literally does not come off until you decide to remove it. This leads me on nicely to the next product in the They're Real! trio. And the second of the brand new Benefit releases; the They're Real! Remover.
Benefit They're Real! Remover £15.50
Unlike with micellar waters and traditional eye make-up removers, you don't need to spend ages rubbing your eyes to get rid of every last trace of the products in question. This remover is really powerful despite being as gentle and creamy as it is. It melts away even the toughest of products, which the They're Real! Push-Up Liner and Mascara are. As well as any other waterproof make-up products you might use.
You can also use a cotton swab with a tiny amount of the They're Real! Remover on the tip of it to quickly fix any eye make-up mistakes, which is especially great when you first try the They're Real! Push-Up Liner out. The They're Real! Remover is also suitable for those with sensitive eyes and those who wear contact lenses.
Benefit They're Real! Mascara £12-22.50
As I mentioned in my last post (link here), the only mascara that I've ever paid more than £10 for or bought outwith the drugstore, was Benefit's They're Real! Mascara. It has been a firm favourite of mines ever since. But as I mentioned above, it really is a pain to remove (without the They're Real! Remover). So for quite a while it has been reserved for special occasions only.
The mascara itself is a true black shade which truly adds volume and length to the lashes without having to apply several coats. But what I really adore about this mascara is the wonderful wand. Firstly it's rubbery instead of the traditional brushes that I typically gravitate towards. But what makes this wand something special is the fact that the bristles also appear at the top of the wand. This means you can really catch every lower lash, which is something I normally struggle to achieve.
So what do you think of the They're Real! trio? Have you tried any of these products? If so, what do you think of them? Will you be picking up any of the They're Real! products any time soon?
