They're Real! Mini Mascara

No longer a good product. New formula smudge city.

It is so unethical when a brand changes the formula of a very popular product and then continues to rely on the positive reviews and feedback left for the old/original version of a now low-quality product. This should honestly be illegal. And also, why ruin something that was so perfect? This was my go-to mascara. It is smudge city now. Like 2 hours after I leave the house I have embarrassing raccoon eyes. Never again. And I honestly just don't trust anything from Benefit now. Companies tend to reformulate a lot of their products at the same time to cut costs. I'm not about to take the risk on their other items. How do I know I'm going to get the same product I used to love? So I'm kind of just done with this brand. Don't be all sneaky and quietly switch out a formula and expect your loyal customers to be okay with that.

all racoon eyes

skip it. I wore it one day and had dark smears within HOURS. All day I was having to wipe below my eyes with make up remover. I had dark stains below my eyes the next day even after using makeup remover.

This product is a staple in my routine

I have been using this product for a few weeks now having high expectations especially for the high price, going to it I heard it was supposed to be, lengthening, long lasting and anti-clump and it exceeded ny expectations! I have very short stubborn lashes and with this product they stayed up for many hours, I highly recommend this product!

Good mascara overall 🙏

It’s a good mascara but it doesn’t last me through the day sadly :( it smears under my eyes and I had more faith it would stay 😞 still going to use it for other occasions 💅

I’ve been using this mascara for years and unfortunately it seems that the formula has changed the last year or two. It’s smudging like crazy and flaking a little bit. I’ve switched up my foundation and face cream a couple times thinking maybe that was affecting the formula but it seems to be the mascara that’s changed.

Raccoon eyes

Loved this and the length it gave. However, 2 hours later it gave me raccoon eyes. It was very difficult to remove as well. A no for me.

New Formula is terrible

This used to be the best of the best. It would last all day and make your lashes look fuller and longer. Now after an hour or so the lifted look falls, my lashes barely look like they have anything on them, and there are smudges under my eyes. I have also noticed it takes several days of scrubbing to get all the residue off completely. Please bring back the new formula!

new formula = major smudging

I have used this product for a few years now & have always loved the applicator brush for fanning my lashes out to the side a bit & the coverage the mascara provides really does define & lengthen each lash. However, they must have recently changed the formula because every single time I use this now I wind up with black smudges under my eyes. I hope they undo whatever this change was because everything else about the product is fantastic!

Used to love!

This mascara used to be my #1. I could wear it all day and not worry about it at ALL. Today, just after an hour and zero touching of my eyes, my boyfriend said “Oh wow, your makeup under your eyes!” I whipped out my phone and was so embarassed. This smudges like CRAZY. Literally just an hour under the richmond heat and it smudged.

Trust Me, They’re Real!!

I have been using this mascara for years… does not flake off into my contacts and makes my lashes look like I’m wearing falsies. Lasts a long time, too (doesn’t dry out fast). I just wish it was cheaper!

Best mascara

Best mascara bought so far. Love it ! Second purchase

It will dry out quick!

It's a bit expensive for the quality. I bought it a month ago and already it's clumping. After about 4 hours you can see black dots under my eyes. I can't rub it off cause then it will smear.
