    I got this in a Sephora Birthday Gift recently, and had wanted to try it for a while. I usually get drugstore mascara brands, because they do the trick and you can get some really good deals pricewise. However, when I do get to use a higher end mascara like this one, it's easy to see why they cost a bit more. This mascara has been giving me beautiful lashes every time I wear it.
    I think the brush is what really makes this amazing; the bristles are kind of spaced out, not like a spoolie with thick, dense bristles. It grabs and coats every single lash, and gives tons of length and lift. Plus the end of the wand has a dome tip, so you can do little touch ups.
    I haven't had any issues with They're Real smudging or flaking, even when I don't wear primer around my eyes. It lasts forever, and makes my lashes look so glamorous and perfect. I plan on purchasing this again once my mini tube has been used up!

    I've still got my sample of this, and it's only just started to seem like it's getting old and needs to be replaced. The formula is a bit flaky and clumpy now, but it STILL gives me the hottest lashes. I've tried several different mascaras lately after getting a ton for Christmas, and not one of them compares to this. No other mascara helps my lashes look so thick, and it coats them all the way to the tip without me having to try. My lashes are long, but the ends are not as thick as at the base and also very blonde, so most mascaras somehow end up not even catching them for some reason, or just overdoing them and making them look spidery and too thick.
    I'm sad that it's time to get rid of my sample of They're Real, but I am definitely going to replace it with a full size!

    I have very fine hair and my eyelashes seem to be that way as well. So all mascaras up until now were too heavy for my lashes. I came across Sephora's site, offering a free birthday gift when you are signed up...this was one of the two items you could choose from. I love this mascara & I probably won't buy any other kind again.

    I did not like this mascara because it clumps my lashes, it is also very hard to take off at night.

    This mascara does a great job lengthening and thickening. I don't like eyelash extensions, and this is the closest thing to fake you're going to get with just a mascara.

    Can't live without this one! I use it over a base or by itself. It does everything you would want! Longer, curlier lashes that are all separated. I always use this mascara with a neutral eyeshadow. Just to show off my lashes!

    I absolutely love this mascara! It doesn't clump or run too badly when wet. It stays on for a long period of time and comes off fairly easily. It makes your lashes look perfect. It is a bit pricey but if you can, it is worth a try. Got mine from Sephora.

    I love this mascara so much! It really delivers and it gives me great length and voluminous looking eyelashes! It doesn't clump at all and the brush is so fantastic. The quality of the packing is really great too.

    The only downside is the price, it's a little bit more on the expensive side compared to the other drugstore mascaras I use, but it's so worth it! I would definitely give it a try if you're unsure about whether or not you want to purchase this wonderful mascara. :)
