BeneFit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Advantages: The packaging is nice
Disadvantages: The result doesn't justify the cost

...hit and miss experience with Benefit in the past, though this mascara looks pretty stylish with it's jazzy packaging so I thought I'd give it a try. I can be quite shallow and judge products on looks far too often and so I often end up with a drawer full of 'pretty rubbish'. This mascara comes in two different sizes, there is a full size one (8.5g) and a smaller half size one (4g) , they cost around £14.50 and £9.50 respectively. I've got the smaller ...
...which was great value as I only paid £2 for the magazine. The mascara comes in black, plum and blue, and there is also a waterproof version. The colour I had was just the standard black one, I found it a bit odd that it didn't come in brown as that is a popular colour too, certainly more popular than plum I would have thought! Packaging The mascara is contained within a black tube as is normal for mascaras and it also comes inside a cardboard ... Read review

Advantages: Gives a bold black lash effect, doesn't smudge or clump, well designed wand
Disadvantages: Overpriced, gaudy packaging.

...a Clinique gift) but as BeneFit was on 3 for 2 and mine was running low a little while ago I thought I’d give this a go. BAD GAL MASCARA As has come to be expected of BeneFit, the mascara comes in a rather strangely decorated container: a black box with fuchsia pink and white text which matches the wand itself (but incidentally matches nothing else in the range, bar the Bad Gal eyeliner). Personally I find it rather cheap and gaudy/80s looking ...
...is the majority of the BeneFit range, so make sure you grab it on 3 for 2 in Boots like I did. The RRP is £14.50 for 8.5g. Normally I’d recommend scouring eBay for a bargain but I’d never chance that with an eye product as someone could have tested it. VERDICT I don’t think this is suitable if you want a really natural effect as if you’re wearing no makeup at all, but I like it because when I wear mascara I want it to look more obvious than my ...

Advantages: well-designed brush, non-clumping mascara, cute packaging
Disadvantages: hefty price tag, slightly more difficult to remove than most mascaras

...mascara was brought out by BeneFit as a complement to the Bad Gal Eyeliner; a chunky bold black eye pencil. As with all of BeneFit’s products the mascara comes in really stylish packaging. It’s all black with bold pink and white lettering down the side. The tube itself is pretty big compared to most mascara. The brush is also bigger than with most brands of mascara that I’ve used before and has lots of bristles; BeneFit clearly had the phrase ‘bigger ...
...makes some pretty bold claims about their Bad Gal Lash mascara not least by saying that it will make you look like you’re wearing false eyelashes but then again they never have been a company who are modest in their claims! The mascara itself only comes in one colour and of course that had to be black, after all what self-respecting Bad Gal would be seen in any other colour? Now I certainly don’t have long eyelashes but I do have plenty of them. ... Read review

Advantages: Really black colour, gives good thickening effect in one coat, easy to apply
Disadvantages: Quite pricey

...Lancome Hypnose, so if a good mascara is important to you I would say this is worth the investment. It also comes in a dark blue and dark plum colour. Benefit products can be found in larger Boots stores or on Boots online, House of Fraser, Debenhams, John Lewis. ... Read review

Advantages: Only requires one coat, lasts all day, no smudging, easily removed, extends lashes
Disadvantages: Not waterproof, shelf life only 6 months

...with a cute tin of Benefit goodies, in which I found this lil beauty. The mascara I was given and am reviewing is the black one, but I believe it is also available in plum or blue. ** Packaging ** The packaging of this mascara is not as "Benefit" as you would expect. What I mean by this is that Benefit are famous for their quirky and cute retro style packaging that appeals to most girlie girls before they even know what's inside. This mascara, however, ...
...** What Benefit Say About BADgal Lash Mascara ** Benefit claim that this mascara is for the biggest, baddest lashes and that the result is like wearing false eyelashes minus the glue. ** My Opinion ** As previously mentioned, I didn't hold high hopes for this mascara, as I hadn't heard anything to say this would be any better than the Boots 17 mascara I had previously been using. It didn't take long for me to try this out. We had been invited for ... Read review

Advantages: Waterproof as it claims
Disadvantages: Doesn't allow lashes to be as 'full'

...What can I say? Another wonderful mascara by Rimmel! Definitely 100% waterproof as it claims, so you're in no worry of a mascara run! But at the same time it is easy to remove with face wipes when you're done. The brush reminds me very much of BeneFit's 'Bad Gal Lash' - big and bulky, therefore easy to apply, but it's a much cheaper product than 'Bad Gal Lash'! The mascara is one of those that lasts a long time and doesn't dry up for much longer than it says on the product - so is useable for a bit longer if you're running low on cash. The only downside is that it doesn't let my eyelashes get as 'full' as other mascaras - which may or may not happen to yourself but is a possibility it may happen. Even so, I still find it a good mascara! Therefore I recommend it to others.... Read review

Advantages: It is waterproof and has staying power
Disadvantages: Doesnt give what it promises in my view

...better more effective mascaras available on the high street such as Bad Lash gal from BeneFit and Max factor also have one or two better mascaras which I would happily promote and may write a review about. I have since written to Maybelline to express my dissatisfaction at their products as I felt really annoyed especially given that their marketing campaign was so good and I actually asked for a reimbursement and enclosed by product to them. Whether or not I will get a reply I don't know but I have never felt so aggrieved about a product that I felt compelled to write and tell them what I thought. Watch this space.... Read review
