Are department store mascaras really better than those at a drug store? My verdict: No. Save your money. While Benefit's They're Real! Mascara provided definition, length, and volume, I strongly preferred the $4 bottle of Lots of Lashes. My lashes were undoubtedly fuller and I was able to use the pointed brush for precision in a way the Benefit mascara did not allow. I also was not sold on the tip of Benefit's wand which is supposed to provide extra length and volume. The mascara tends to clump to the tip rendering this feature useless. The heart shaped Maybelline wand allows for the user to easily flare out corner lashes for a more defined and intense look which really compliments a cat eye look. I was expecting great things from Benefit, but I think they've just got great PR. Now mascara is a tricky thing to review since everyone's opinions vary greatly, so here is what I like in a mascara: I want full lashes,foremost. I want my eyes to look bigger and darker. Length isn't as much of a concern for my taste, though this mascara did help. What I really love is a really thick flared out lash line without having to clump on mascara. I put on 2-3 coats focussing on the outer corners of my eyes for a gorgeous look. Maybelline is the clear winner in my eyes. Ha. Ha. Eyes. Don't expect a miracle from They're Real! While it's a good mascara, I don't find it to be as thickening as I wanted and I definitely would not use it expecting to get a false lash look. Lots of Lashes is inexpensive and it works!
