    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 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, LOVE, LOVE this mascara and cannot imagine ever using anything else ( and I have tried them ALL.)

    I have naturally long eyelashes and this mascara makes them POP! I can't tell you how many people have commented on my eyelashes since I started using it about a year ago...my own sisters-in-law asked me if I had started wearing false eyelashes, that's how much of a difference it made.

    The only down side is the price, but it's a generous size tube of mascara that usually lasts at least two months.

    I received this product as a birthday gift by sephora as part of they gift package. it is travel size which is perfect for me as my make up bag is always so heavy. Never tried benefit product but I was pleasantly surprised. I still prefer the dior show mascara which I use regulary.

    This is one of my favourite mascaras. I love how quickly it builds up volume and length. The brush is awesome because I have problems with the lashes on the outer edge of my eye being too curly and the tip allows me to sort of grab them and straighten them out a bit(not like actually straight, just less curly than they are naturally) and flare them out. Fantastic mascara!

    I know everyone raves about this mascara and I can definitely see why, but it's just not for me.
    I received it in the BeautyInsider Birthday Gift from Sephora and I was really looking forward to trying it.
    I packed it on my recent vacation (perfect mini size for my travel makeup bag!) and off I went.

    The good:
    Great lengthening for my lashes - they did look super long
    The wand is really interesting with the ball at the end to get the outer corners
    Didn't flake all day through sun, humidity, physical activity

    The not so good:
    Clumped up really quickly
    My left eye turned out lopsided (I'm right handed), but that doesn't happen with other mascaras
    Left a disaster of a mess on my face when removing it at night - had to scrub it off with two makeup removing wipes and still left me racoon eyes
    Made my lashes sharp and crusty feeling

    I kept the tube, might use it for a special occasion when I really need to create drama, but definitely not going to be my new favorite.

    Best mascara I have ever used. Girls that I recommend it to love it. It's a bit pricy, but you can get the smaller size at Sephora for $10. Definitely worth the buy.

    I got this mascara as a free sample, and immediately fell in love with it. It goes on so smoothly, with barely any clumps, and makes lashes look so long and quite full. I have never been so satisfied with a mascara before, and look forward to every application.

    It's difficult to find a mascara that works for your lashes, and I think its Girl Code to tell all the other ladies what works best and what is a terrible product. I think Benefit They're Real Mascara is a great IF you already have long lashes. It is extremely dark and thick and it last all day without going for a run down your face. I've read reviews that say "you don't need to curl your lashes anymore" or "doesn't clump at all", and from my experience you do still need to curl your lashes or it WILL clump I have very long lashes and I find this mascara does a great job of seperating, once lashes are curled, and darkening my eye lashes. The down side of this product is the price, but look at it this way- don't eat out at lunch 3 times and you have it covered!

    My recommendation would be buy a travel size if your interested but not 100% sure on the product. If you want to try it so bad your body is shaking and its taking all of your will power not to drive to the nearest Sephora, or other stores its sold, then I would suggest going to buy it, like now! I love this mascara but I'm undecided if I'll purchase it again, simply because I am a makeup junkie and I love trying new products. Only time will tell, but if I do have to repeat a product this would be the one!
