If you’re anything like me you will no doubt have tried nearly every brand of mascara going to find that look you want for your lashes; think and long, natural and long, but always, no matter what mascara or effect you are looking for, length is always a factor.

You’ve got to love the freebies you get in magazines, this month’s freebie, aka sample in Elle Magazine is a world exclusive, the new Benefit They’re Real Tinted Primer!

This picture should give you a better idea of the size of They’re Real Tinted Primer you receive.  As someone who is perhaps pretty lazy when applying makeup, especially day to day, I tend only to wear a coat of mascara, maybe some eyeliner if I’m pushing out the boat.  So adding another thing to the makeup routine has me a little sceptical, however I was willing to give it a go, you never know I could be pleasantly surprised.

This is the wand for the primer, lots of bristles for complete coverage

On the box they say you can where this either as a primer before applying your mascara or leave it as is without the mascara for a more natural and subtle look

Next I applied my favourite Benefit mascara, the Roller Lash

I have to admit that I really did like the They’re Real Tinted Primer and seen a real difference in the length of my lashes and how easily the Roller Lash mascara went on.  It also helped to separate my lashes when a couple of them clumped because I had put on too much mascara.

100% this is a new item of makeup I’ll be adding to my makeup bag and my morning pamper process; simple and easy to put on with impressive results.
