Benefit They're real mascara Review & EOTD

Happy Diwali :) 

Here's a little thing about Me & Mascaras, I have long & dense lashes naturally so I dont generally prefer to spend huge amount on Mascara since they have to be tossed out after six months of first using them [Bonus tip for beginners who dint already know that :-P] due to which I have always been happy with Maybelline & Loreal. And this Best seller Mascara comes with a whopping price tag. So did it work or did it not? Lets find out.

MY EXPERIENCE

Benefit they're real mascara is beautifully packaged in grey & metallic tube. It has a fat rubberised wand with domed tip & features staggered bristles which grabs the roots of every lash & coats each lash evenly to makes your lashes look fluttery yet seperated.  The color is Jet black so the outcome is outstanding. This mascara adds Amazing length & volume to my already long & thick lashes without clumping them. This is what I love the most about this Mascara. Its has a non drying consitency perfect to achieve clump free lashes. 

It is smudge free & lasts all day long on me without leaving any dry flakes under my eyes. This award winning mascara always work for me so I am glad to have succumbed to its hype. Love the fact that it comes in Travel sized version as well. Allow the coats to dry properly while layering this mascara & always remember to wiggle the wand while application to avoid clumps.

Added tip: Never share your mascara & dispose is after 6 months from its first usage.

How to apply mascara like a Pro without any clumps

Tuesday Tip (Volume 1): Avoid Mascara clumps

Heyy guys, Today I am starting a new series *Tuesday Tip* in which I will share Makeup, Hair, Nail & Fashion Hacks and tips with you all. To make the getting ready process easy & hassle free. 

This tip will help you get most natural looking thick & long lashes without any clumps.

Two most important points before we get started

• Mascaras expire within 3 months of opening so please DO NOT use it after that since it is a breeding ground for infection causing bacteria. 
• Do not share your mascara with ANYBODY to prevent infections. 

Lets get started.

1. Wipe off excess mascara from the wand on a tissue to avoid clumps and getting 2-3 lashes stick together. That's not what we want right? Its not wasting guys trust me. You will experience a cleaner & neat application.
2. Comb (Optional) & Curl your lashes.
3. Hold the wand horizontally & wiggle the wand inwards towards your inner corner twice for both upper & lower lashes.
4. Now again hold the wand horizontally & wiggle the wand outwards towards your ear as if you were fanning them out. Do this twice on upper & lower lashes.
5.  Not to make sure every lash is seperate and well coated, hold the mascara vertically and apply it in upward direction on upper lashes & in downward direction for lower lashes.

Voila! Now you have thick & long lashes.

This will instantly open up your eyes and make them look wide and will lift up a tired face.

Hope you find this tip helpful & enjoy the new series. Let me know if you want any solutions or hacks for your beauty or fashion woes and it might be my next post. 

Love,

Priyanka.
