In my opinion Dior is better because it's easier to get off and it doesn't flake.

I think Dior is hands down the best mascara on the market right now, but with that being said... I received this mascara as a free sample and I am pairing it with Dior's Maximizer Plumping Serum and it seems to be a good combination. In fact I am needing more Dior mascara, but I am just going to wait until this is all gone. So for the price I think it is a good buy, but in comparision to Dior it does not stand the test on its own.

I think this mascara is better. This mascara makes lashes look amazing. I put about three coats on at my wedding and was able to go without false lashes, though everyone thought I had falsies on!!!
Just make sure you brush lashes well with the wand. You don't need to keep dipping the brush, just run the wand through lashes several times. It stays on and looks awesome. Dramatic lashes.

It is much better than CD Blackout, however this mascara is difficult to wash off and you may lose some lashes in the process.

black out doesn't compare. they're real does it all...better. dior's mascaras smudge and leave little flecks of mascara on your cheeks. they're real does not. it does take a good waterproof makeup remover to get off (or baby oil).

I found that they're real was very difficult to wash off, and I felt like it led me to lose some lashes, thus I would only apply it every other day or so. Needless to say - I have returned to using CD Blackout, never should have switched!

they're real is much better. BADgal can give you volume but that's about it - it doesn't lengthen very well. they're real does it all and if you apply it correctly and you can layer it you'll get more volume and definition than BADgal would give you in the first place.

I found that it did kind of straighten my curl if I applied after using the eyelash curler, BUT, the curl does come back if you hold your fingers under your lashes after you apply the mascara and kind of gently push them back into the curl shape and hold it there as the mascara dries and sets.

I would say yes, it does hold a curl. I don't use an eyelash curler, so I can't compare it to using one. Instead, I've attached my before and after pics for you to see. Hopefully it will help to show the curl effect you get using this mascara.

Sort of. I have straight lashes that droop down. When I tried it in stores I used the sample wands the store puts out for customers to use and I was able to take off the extra goopy mascara from the brush so it wasnt as wet when it went on (the wetness is what straightens the curl). But when I used the brush from the actual mascara taking the extra goopy mascara was really difficult so it went out more wet and started to straighten the curl. I guess it depends on what wand you use, but if you have a regular wand it would work much better.

Yes, I am agreeing with a lot of what people are saying. It takes some work to get off at the end of the day.

It's very similar to Iconic, except that this formula is lighter. Iconic's is more thick and hence it has a more dramatic look. However, Benefit seems to do a better job at curling. I am an Iconic user, and I was looking for an everyday mascara that it's not too dramatic, yet that it curls and adds length. Benefit's it's an amazing mascara, comes off easier than Iconic, and does have similar results as Iconic. Iconic uses more product too, so the tube doesn't last as long and it's more pricey that Benefit's. What I'm doing is keeping my Iconic for nights out and special occasions and purchasing Benefit's for everyday use. Hope this helps!

hi, I too, really like FAIRY DROPS SCANDAL QUEEN, and I got this, too after seeing it on a friend who has really great lashes to begin with (I don't, but hers looked really fabulous) and so I got it. If your lashes are one of your best assets - meaning you are happy with the length, thickness etc. and you just want a bit of definition, this is great. Otherwise, pass. Save your money for something else like Japanese Mascaras (other than Fairy Drops) -- if you are very into mascaras check these out:

answer 1
I've used Lancome mascara for more than 2 decades now ending with Hypnose. I say ending because once I tried They're Real, I didn't bother finishing my tube of Lancome. This stuff is what I've always wished Lancome would be. You can layer it without pulling out a straight pin to separate the lashes in between coats, it glides on like silk, and it lasts all day and then some. It also doesn't leave little mascara flakes on my cheeks like Lancome does sometimes. I'm in love (in case you couldn't tell).

I just switched and it was worth it. I was hesitant about the look of this brush, but I swear this lets you layer on without the clumping and spidery looking lashes lancome gives. The first coat is really light compared to the super thick coating you get right away with lancome, but you can let this sit 5 seconds and add an additional coat(s) for much better legnth and definition.

While I do not use Lancome, I am faithful to my mascara (Clinique Lash Power) and was both excited & anxious to make the switch. I was so disappointed w/They're Real. I noticed no difference in my lashes - in fact, they may have looked worse w/the They're Real. The product felt sticky on my lashes and was a nightmare to remove - lots of makeup remover, which still didn't get my eyes completely clean.
If you're happy w/your current product, I would only give They're Real a try if you're in the position to return the product if you are unhappy.

I don't know why, but this made my eyes burn, itch, and water like crazy, and that almost never happens to me

I have very sensitive eyes and I have no problem with this mascara. No burning, no itching, and my favorite, no mascara flecks in my eyes. I love this mascara!

No...I have very sensitive eyes and the day after I used this I woke up with...a little bump (don't know what it was but it was gone after two days) on my upper water line at the base of the lashes.

I have sensitive skin and wear contacts. Never had any issues with this wonderful mascara. Alcohol free toner is a must to remove at end of the day.

It wasn't for me, but I think it is supposed to be. It made my eyes red. I have to be careful with mascaras though. I also had problems with Bare Minerals mascaras, which are supposed to be hypoallergenic and all natural. But that is just me.

I'm not sure about it being hypoallergenic, but I can tell you that this is one of a very few products that don't make my eyes tear or itch!

I'm allergic to EVERYTHING and it doesn't give me a problem however, it doesn't state that it's hypoallergenic. Tarte makes a mascara that's all natural if you're better off with fewer chemicals.

Question
How do you get this stuff off?
I LOVE the way this mascara looks and feels, but I have tried two different eye make up removers and there is still so much mascara left under my eyes and on my lashes! Any suggestions? I will NOT spend 21 dollars for the benefit eye makeup remover -- so please don't suggest that! ;)

use baby oil with a cotton square and just go over it with your eyelashes in the middle of it and it'll come off easliy. just be gentle so you're sure not to pull out lashes

I use Ponds make-up remover wipes and although it takes a few minutes, they get the mascara off fine!

you can use a few drops of olive, grapeseed, or other oil. just rub gently over eye area and wipe off with a cotton ball or tissue. it's best to do before washing your face.

I use Lancomes eye makeup remover on a cotton swab to remove this mascara and it works just fine for me. It takes about two per eye.

I use a gentle face wash to generally get it off and then I go back with a wet q-tip and a teeny dot of the same face wash to the remains underneath my eyes.

Neurtrogena naturals fresh cleansing + make-up remover is great at removing make-up including the Benefit "they're real" mascara. You won't have to roughly rub your eyes in order to get it off!

I use Lancome Bifacils for all my eye make up removal. It doesn't sting my eyes and every mascara I tried, it has worked on.

I do not like the way it looks and feels and I agree it is very difficult to remove. I find I always have residue left. the only way to get past this is to use another mascara. that is what I did.
