I know this may be extremely old news for some of you, but I wanted to start this blog off with a basic necessity. EYELASHES. If you have them, and you want people to see them, purchase this mascara immediately! I have been using mascara for past 12 years of my life and have yet to find a better option than Benefit’s “They’re Real!” mascara. You don’t even have to use a curler with this one (although I do because I secretly aspire to look like Minnie Mouse every time I go out). It is $24, and lasts me almost 6 months. This product lives up to its expectations, has 4/5 stars from over 10,000 reviews on sephora.com and beats many other high end mascaras on the market (including Lancome which was the very first “pricier” mascara I used–often praised for its excellent eye makeup line).
