Benefit They’re Real! Remover is what Benefit Cosmetics calls a strip down waterproof eye makeup remover. If you use Benefit They’re Real Mascara I imagine you’ll automatically want to snatch this one up as a fan of the mascara.

I actually had to grab my own tube of They’re Real and see how hard it was to remove the mascara to warrant it’s own eye makeup remover. Actually, it is kinda tough to remove! How did I never realize that? Eh! Even with an oil based remover I noticed I had to swipe a good deal to get all the mascara off my lashes.

Never the less this was a good excuse to check out Benefit They’re Real! Remover and see how well it performed at removing not only They’re Real Mascara but any mascara and eyeshadow combo!

I started using Dr. Dennis Gross Clinical Concentrate Radiance Booster recently soon after it launched earlier in the New Year.

I have drier, duller skin in the Winter (it isn’t nearly as bad in the Summer thankfully) so I’m always looking for quick fixes to lighten up the dullness as well as products that will provide moisture as keeping my skin hydrate seems to keep dullness at bay.

Dr. Dennis Gross Clinical Concentrate Radiance Booster originally came in a trio set but I decided to purchase the full size when it became available recently.

I purchased Original Etude House Moistfull White Triple Active Essence along with Etude House White Moistfull Cream together as both have gotten some great reviews on Korean beauty blogs.

Etude House Moistfull White Triple Active Essence works to even out skin tone and lighten up dark spots. It actually can be applied all over your face or it comes with a single fabric patch that you can saturate with the essence for direct spot treatment.
