If benefit's "they're real" is your HG

[ijack]

What other mascaras do you like? I love they're real, but it's such a pain to get off.

Someone on here loves Maybelline The Falsies, and I'm about to grab some. I'll report back.

Cover Girl Clump Crusher. I have to use 3 coats, but I love it. Before that I used The Falsies. I've used samples of Benefit They're Real and like it a lot, but have never purchased because I like the drug store brands as much.

Clump crushers was a huge disappointment for me. I feel like they're real is so much blacker than anything else I've tried

I just got the sample in my birthday gift. I agree it's great but a pita to get off. I like Dior Show Iconic. For drugstore I like Loreal Voluminous. I used to wear Lancôme definicils, but its been a couple of years.

I really like Bare Escentuals Buxom lash.

Nothing I've used has ever really come close.

Admittedly, I sometimes don't wash my eyes (just my face) and wear it a couple days without taking it off.

This is kind of genius!

They're Real just flakes off me by the end of the day, so this post is perplexing to me.

I've been using Diorshow Blackout waterproof and like it. I also love Chantecaille Faux Cils.

Really?

I don't think I've ever had mascara flake on me though. 

It's definitely more clumpy, which sometimes annoys me and I pick at it, but it's definitely a chore to get off.

Yep, right below my eyes was covered with little black chunks of it by the end of the day. I was glad I only bought the sample size one instead of the big one. So weird.

That is crazy. I can barely get it off with makeup remover.

They're Real also flakes on me. But it also doesn't come off completely with eye makeup remover. It's an annoying combination.

I've been using Tarte's Lights, Camera, Action and really like it, but it's not super black IMO if that's what you want.

I also have a sample of Smashbox Full Exposure that I could love. I've only used it twice, but it goes on really black and really smooth. The brush is nice and soft, too. They're Real almost hurt when I tried to really get the bases of my lashes, it was so hard.

I totally jabbed my eye with the wand on They're Real. My eye was irritated for a good hour afterwards.

I have to use eye makeup remover (I use the target version of Neutrogena) and then use face wipes as well and really rub my lashes to get it off.

[lizzard]

I use coconut oil to remove it. It takes about 2 rounds of coconut oil (basically rubbing it into my lashes with my fingers) + a wash cloth + water, but then it is all off. Then I wash my face with my regular face wash.

I find "They're Real" comes off well with Neutrogena Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover. I don't find it any more special that Clump Crusher. Not a HG item for me. I recently got a sample size of Tarte Amazonian Mascara and loved it more than the other two. It's my new favorite.
