They're Real! vs. Bad Gal lash Ft. Benefit

Hey guys! So I know for a long time I've been saying that I would be back with a new post and blah blah blah and I know that I lied but I am now! I'm finally on winter break and I have a ton of time to put together some new posts for you guys. I know that I said a while ago that I would do this one but now I finally have it, and also I have my own laptop now so that makes everything so much easier so I don't have to use my parents computer. Although I would like to say that I'm sorry for the quality of the photos, because I have been using my iPhone to take them. I think (hopefully) I will be getting a camera for christmas so that will be so helpful! Okay! Without further ado! A POST!!!
So this is the two together, as you can tell I only have the
mini versions but Bad Gal cost $9 and They're Real! cost
$10 so they're around the same size and the same price. I actually
prefer the packaging to the Bad Gal because its sleeker and I like
the black rather than the slate gray.

Here is the brush for the They're Real! and I prefer this to the
Bad Gal. This is a plastic one while the Bad Gal is the bristle
type. I find that this can get each lash better and closer to the
roots. I really love They're Real because it really does give you that
false lash effect and it doesn't clump at all. It's very buildable so
you can have very natural lashes to super false looking lashes
but it will never clump.

This is the brush to Bad Gal. I don't like this one as much.
It's a lighter mascara, and I feel like it gives you almost no length
I like using this one as a base just the give a light coat before
I use They're Real. This one didn't give me any length, curl, or lift
all it did was darken my lashes, while with the They're Real! I saw  tons
of curl and especially lengthening and a little lift, but I think that with
everything other you can totally justify They're Real

A drugstore dupe that I found for They're Real was
the Revlon PhotoReady 3D volume mascara. The only difference
that I really saw was that this one clumped a little, but what can you
expect from a drugstore dupe thats almost a quarter of the price
of the real thing? Plus, you can just brush your lashes out so it's
not such a big deal.


Here's the brush, and as you can see its pretty similiar, with the plastic bristles that I love.
It's pretty close to the same but the brush is skinnier and the bristles are also skinnier so
it's harder for them to grip to your lashes, but with an extra coat you can get the same
effect as They're Real!

Brand Rave: Wet N' Wild

Hello lovely ladies! My post for today is going to be what I call a "brand rave". It's going to be a series of posts where I talk about some of my favorite brands of makeup, or clothes, or basically anything. Let me know what your guys' "brand raves" are in the comments and maybe it'll be featured in the next post! Now, onto the rave! Wet N' Wild has been around as long as I can remember. In fact, it was probably one of the first brands I bought makeup from, and it continues to be an old stand by to this day, a few years later. The great thing about this brand is you get products that are super cheap but they are great quality! Some of my favorites throughout the years have been the concealer, the lip glosses for sure, and the eyeshadows. I can't wait to be able to try out all the products that Wet N' Wild has to offer. They even have a beauty ambassador program that you can check out here. All and all, it's a pretty good brand.

Some of my current favorites from the brand:
One of my favorite palettes is called Walking on Eggshells. This is a palette with three colors, one for the crease, one for the browbone, and one for your lid. My favorite from this palette is the lid color because it's said to be an exact dupe for Stila's "Kitten" shadow. This is a nice shimmery light pink color, and it stays on your lids all day. These shadows have amazing pigmentation with and without a primer. I also have the Knock On Wood palette, which is another three color palette that focus' on more of a burgundy color, so it'll be perfect for the fall time.

My next favorite is the is the Mega Liner Liquid Liner, in number 863. I find this kind of hard to use for actually lining my eyes, but what I really like this for is small decorations around the face like on the Walk Like an Egyptian tutorial, I used this liner to create dots under my lower lash line., and I will definitely be featuring it in tutorials to come!

Next up is the MegaLast lipstick. I have this one in Red Velvet, and the staying power of this stuff in amazing! The red color that I have works so well, even though I almost never wear red. It'll stay all night if you need it, and the best thing is that it it only costs $1-$2, much line everything else from this brand which is one of the many reasons why I love it so much.

Lastly, is the concealer. This stuff is absolutely amazing! I believe its $1.99 but don't hold it against me! This stuff conceals all your redness, and it has amazing staying power! It doesn't look cakey! I will go back to this again and again.


I hope you guys loved this post! Please leave me more feedback in the comments and let me know some of your favorites products from Wet N' Wild so that I can try them!
