I think someone should come out with an applicator brush like this with a rubber tip and sell it individually! Just a thought :) Ha! Although a good innovative way to get in between those lashes, I found that this pen didn't do anything special that any other pencil liner won't do. I very much wanted to love this product so much! The marketing was great too. I got this from Benefit at their last event, but I remember watching they beauty expert do a demo about this liner at the store during one of my impromptu visits and loved it, but when I tried it at home, I realized that the affair ended there. I must be using it wrong.
THEY'RE REAL! MASCARA

I only got a sample size of the They're Real! Mascara but it was more than enough to be used for more than 2 weeks to make a fair review on this product.

According to the Benefit Website:

They're real! lengthens, curls, volumizes, lifts & separates. Our jet black, long-wearing formula won’t smudge or dry out. A specially designed brush reveals lashes you never knew you had!

Benefit They're Real! Mascara full size for PhP 1,200/tube

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this particular mascara from Benefit. So when I ended up with a travel size one in my press kit from Benefit I decided to give it a try and truly assess what I think of the mascara in my own opinion. 

I like how it gave my eyelashes a reasonable length and a bit of volume. I have fine hairs on my lashes and this mascara coated them real well and defined them. Even though this travel size is small, the brush is what you will get in the actual size product.  I don't know if I will purchase the full size because it is expensive and why pay so much if you remove it at the end of the day, if anything I will just purchase the travel size and wear it on special occasions.

This mascara is not waterproof but it's certainly water resistant. I wore all day in an outdoor event  and it survived the humidity, oily and sweaty lids! It does not come off too easily with eye makeup remover though (in spite of me using Clinique Take the Day Off Makeup Remover, but comes off easily with the They're Real! Remover (which is coming up next in this feature). 

It seems to hold the curl, lengthen and slightly thicken the hairs, and not to mention -separate the lashes without making them look clumped. It doesn't sting the eyes too! My eyes are quite sensitive from fumes from eye products but this didn't sting my eyes at all!

Benefit They’re Real! Remover is what Benefit calls an easy-off waterproof eye makeup remover. So basically, it is an eye makeup remover from the They're Real! makeup line from Benefit. If you have been convinced from my review about using They're Real! Push-up Liner and Mascara, I imagine you’ll automatically want to pick this one up too from the store.

I received this remover from the Benefit event a couple of months back and I was quite excited to try it! As I have reviewed before, the mascara comes off quite hard so a remover that is designed specifically to remove the mascara and the liner, that would be awesome. It took me about 2 rounds of massaging the cream on my eyes until I got all of them off, and after that I still had to use a foaming cleanser to remove all of the gook and the oily residue that was left around my eye area.

The They're Real! Remover is a cream-based remover that promises to remove waterproof mascara, I am not sure if this works for all brands of waterproof mascara or can only be used with the They're Real! eye product line. It's actually gentle, but really strips off the mascara without shedding a few hairs along the way! It is advised to be squeezed onto a cotton pad or ball and sweep it on your eye area. I however have a different method. I'll show you later.

Benefit They're Real! Remover 50ml, PhP 1,000

It's a little bit messy though, but who would see you remove your makeup anyway, right? If you are a professional makeup artist using this on your client though, I recommend using a cotton pad.
After rinsing with water, this is the result:
This remover actually reminds me of Pond's cold cream, but more luxe. So here I am wearing the push-up liner and the mascara from the They're Real! line, about to use the remover:
By massaging the cream on your lids, it loosens all the makeup effectively without pulling on the skin and the lashes. This method will also get the products in between each individual lash hair and onto your skin really shaking the products loose.

Make sure that you do not open your eyes while using this product. Although it doesn't sting, it transfers a thin film of oil on your eyes making it really hard to wash off with running water. So your vision might be blurry for a while. So try to keep your eyes shut.
I think this is a good eye makeup remover to keep handy in your travel kit because it effectively removes waterproof makeup. Plus, it's flat tube packaging makes it a space saver in your cosmetic train case when travelling!
