I've mentioned here before that I'm not the biggest fan of my eyelashes; they're pretty short and sparse, and I'm constantly staring at my oblivious boyfriend's long, full lashes in jealousy. Though I don't usually wear falsies in my day-to-day life, if I'm on my way to a red carpet event or prepping for a big photo shoot, I always make sure the makeup artist has a pair ready to glue on; I know how big of a difference having dramatic lashes can make! When Benefit Cosmetics asked if I'd be part of their Join the REALvolution campaign, which features They're Real! mascara, I jumped at the chance. Who wouldn't want to try a mascara that claims to make your real lashes so amazing that your friends will ask if they're fake? Check out my results below:

BEFORE AFTER Crazy, right?! It makes such a difference! Benefit is giving away a year's supply of this mascara every week until 9/27--all you have to do is upload a selfie featuring your They're Real lashes to instagram with the hashtag #realsies. Be creative--all the tagged photos end up in their real-time gallery. I know lots of you are in New York for Fashion Week (I get there tomorrow morning)--if you are, make sure you keep an eye out for the Benefit Cosmetics REALvolution rollerbabes; they'll be skating around Manhattan with goodies! (Follow @BenefitBeauty on Twitter for clues on where they'll be next.)
