Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara Review

I‘m surprised I haven’t tried this popular mascara earlier, because I love anything black and pink! I’ve heard tons of reviews on this mascara (good and bad – seems to be either loved hated), so I’m glad the day has come!

One of the major features of this mascara is it’s obnoxious brush. I thought Diorshow‘s brush was a bit ridiculous but I love that mascara, so I thought nothing of the claims of how big this brush is. Well, let me say that this brush is big; it can probably scrub the corners of your kitchen sink. I was scared I might poke my eye out (or actually not reach my lashes) but surprisingly it didn’t. A little hard to use though, especially if you have smaller eyes like me! 

Apart from the brush, the formula seemed easy to apply and went on smoothy. However, I gotta say I’m a bit underwhelmed. I was hoping for massive, insane “BAAD” lashes. It seems like a normal black mascara to me. Normal length, normal volume, normal everything with minimal smudging and no flaking. When you layer on more than 2 coats, then yes; there is a lot of volume but then it gets clumpy. Hmm. Too bad, I really love some of Benefit’s products (especially Boi-ing concealer!).

Has anyone tried Bad Gal? What are your thoughts on it? I’m not saying it’s a terrible mascara – far from it – but for that price I don’t feel it’s worth it. But let me know what you think!

I use alot of Benefit products, but Badgirl mascara & eyeliners are not my favourites. They don’t put up too well in our humidity either.
I’m falling back on my old favourites – Max Factor 2000 Calorie, and L’Oreal Volume Express

I’ve heard so much about 2000 Calorie but they don’t have Max factor here! :( Where did you get yours?

I thought it did wonders for my eyes. It just didn’t last…It was almost like for the first hour it was like BAM! and then quickly faded in it’s glory. Of course you wouldn’t notice if you didn’t double check it. I am not a fan of constantly having to reapply mascara throughout the day (you may not have time) so it wasn’t something I’d buy again.
