You mean Benefit's They're Real - it's my favourite by far but pricey at £19.50. I'm currently using Maybelline The Rocket - non waterproof. It's very thickening and holds a curl. Only £6.99 but often on offer as a 3 for 2 deal. My daughter loves Rimmel's Accelerator mascara in yellow and black tube.

The Benefit one is excellent but I find it a real pain to get off so I only use it for special occasions, particularly evenings, as it really looks like false lashes. It could be that I'm just lazy when it comes to make up removal in general.:o


For everyday use I'm happy with Maybelline although I'd prefer a longer, thinner wand.

Sounds like you have pretty much the same kind of lashes as I do with the same issues regarding sensitive eyes and contact lenses. I also suffer with Blepharitis at times too.

If you can post a link of the mascaras, I'll take a look. There isn't a Superdrug where I live unfortunatly.

the mascara - and I forget to mention they have a lovely soft eyeliner that I use - is called 2true. I think zoesmummy has put a link up for the 2true one in superdrug.

I realised, after many years and £££, that having sparse lashes meant no amount of lash volumizing/extending/thickening mascara was going to give me better lashes ... ive pretty much come to terms with the fact that all I can do is try and enhance/darken the few lashes I do have; the cheap 2true stuff does just that without costing me a fortune.

good luck, the eye problems are a nightmare aren't they?

Yup it's not nice having hardly any eyelashes and having sensitve eyes. My eyelashes are always falling out too which doesn't help. Also can't even have lash extensions because I haven't got enough lashes to attach the extensions too.

Also, dying my lashes makes absolutly no difference either. I'm not the best at applying eye makeup, especially mascara. I've watched a ton of youtube vids on how to curl lashes and apply mascara.

I'm trying out the Loreal lash boosting serum just to see if it helps at least strengthen the lashes I have. It's only a couple of pounds, so no money lost if it doesn't work.

The 2true mascaras..how do you know which colour you are buying as each type are numbered?

I think the rack they are displayed on has the number code underneath it.

I tried the eyelash dye too, waste of money ... I can actually count my eyelashes there are so few lol xx

I don't live near a Superdrug, so would have to buy online unfortuatly.

I've never counted my eyelashes, but I bet I'm not even close to double figures lol.

Although it is ridiculously expensive, I've found that you don't need to use all that much to get a good result so it ends up lasting longer than a lot of other mascaras I've bought. I have tried pretty much every mascara on the market and would recommend They're Real over any of them. For slightly cheaper options though, I generally liked pretty much any Max Factor or L'Oreal mascaras.

L'Or!al double extend I use the light blue & creamy white tube.

What's the difference between the different coloured tubes?
