For most of us mascara is the basis of our makeup bag. It’s a quick and easy way to take us from half asleep to ready for the day – and it’s a shortcut to avoiding those “are you feeling okay” comments from those co-workers who have never seen us bare-faced.

But finding the best mascara that hits all the bases can sometimes feel near impossible.

Finding a formula that contains the holy trinity powers of lengthening, defining and volumising can be surprisingly difficult.

And when you add in curling power, likeliness of flaking and ease of removability – there’s a lot of aspects to consider. Not to mention price point too.

So we couldn’t contain our excitement when we came across a bargain drugstore mascara that is said to emulate the results of one of the best in the biz – Benefit’s iconic They’re Real.

Primark’s PS Wonder Lash mascara claims to gives customers ‘longer looking & defined lashes without clumping’, with 91 per cent of users agreeing that its formula gives ‘dramatic length & volume’.

Its slim and flexible rubber brush also lifts each lash and ensures that they are all properly coated with the cruelty-free formula.

And the best part? This lengthening mascara comes in at only £3, compared to Benefit’s cult favourite that will set you back £22.

One fan took to Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, which has more than a million members, to express her amazement at the steal’s results.

‘£3 in primark!’ wrote the happy customer. ‘Absolutely amazing just like the Benefit mascara if not better 😊👌🏻’.

‘I’ve got it to it’s brilliant best one I’ve used so far x,’ agreed another, with someone else commenting, ‘I love this, no more expensive mascaras for me 👍’.

Others wrote, ‘Brilliant stuff’, ‘I LOVE this mascara!’, ‘It’s amazing ❤’ and ‘I love this mascara! Wont use anything else’.
