It does not smudge when I am wearing it (thank god, who wants the panda eye look when they're out?!) however when it's time for bed this mascara comes off without elbow grease using your usual make-up remover. Highly recommended for people who's lashes strongly lack volume, but probably not length. This mascara will give you great volume which lasts, and makes ...

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 ...

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. ...

Advantages: glossy, long lashes Disadvantages: too expensive, not enough volume
...have tried quite a few Benefit products now and although there are one or two that I love, on the whole I have been fairly disappointed and find that they usually don't live up to the promises on their quirky packaging. Like most of the Benefit make-up range, this mascara comes boxed. I don't know why this is, and it seems like another example of unnecessary packaging to me. The box is black and pink and the font is quite modern and it has a bit ... ...The tube itself is black with white and pink writing, and the lid is silver. I do think it may look better if the lid was a different colour as there's something about it that reminds me of the £1.99 mascaras I used to buy when I was 13! When I opened the mascara I think my first surprise was the wand. It's very fat and full with lots of tightly packed bristles. To be honest I was a little bit daunted when I first looked at the brush because it didn't ...

Advantages: Beautiful results! Disadvantages: It's a bit tricky to remove!
Benefit are probably my favourite cosmetics company of all time; their products work, they're quirky, the packaging is beautiful and they make you feel like when you're a kid and you're playing dress-up!
One of the main problems that people have with Benefit is that their products, on first appearance, seem extremely expensive!
However, their products last for such a long time and work so well that they are actually well worth the money! One of ... ...only come in black, although BeneFit do other mascaras and eyeliners in different shades, just not the Bad Gal range. This mascara retails at Boots and department stores, including Harrods and Selfridges at £14.50.
The design of the packaging for the mascara is very similar to that of the eyeliner, and is all black with hot pink and white lettering with a silver top. It originally comes in a black box with hot pink and white lettering. It has a ...

...looks like so here goes. Benefit BADGal Mascara comes in a black box with pink and white writing. It's quite stylish with just a hint of naughtiness. When you open it the tube is also black with white and pink writing, and quite a good size. (Actually it's pretty big at 8.5g)

I do love Benefit make up of course. I can't afford to be so extravagant as to buy it very often though to be perfectly honest with you. I've wanted to try this mascara in the black shade for ages but at about £14.50 for a regular sized tube(8.5g) and reading mixed reviews on the product when I had the opportunity to buy my favourite magazine of the moment (Glamour) which has a 4.0g tube worth £9.50 with it for the price of the magazine (£2.00) ... ...are listed, contact details for Benefit are given, and finally there is a bar-code on there.

...admit I am a complete Benefit Addict- their cute packaging always appeals to me and I've found with most of the products I've tried that it really does do what it says on the package. Sometimes, however, a product disappoints me slightly- perhaps just after my high expectations. This, however, performed just as well as I'd expected.
I've bought many mascaras over the years, so I can confidently say I've had plenty of experience with mascaras.

The box and the tube are black with the word 'lash" in pink with a silver top. It would look sophisticated in anyone's make up bag! ...

Advantages: Great volumising effect Disadvantages: Not waterproof
The Benefit brand originated in San Francisco and follows the ethos of vintage glam, it reminds me of the 1940's era. The official website for the brand (www.benefitcosmetics.com) states that the aim was to create stores with a candy store like atmosphere.

Benefit have recently released a waterproof version of the mascara, however it is in smaller tubing and has a smaller wand so does not create such a great effect.

They have a creative way of selling them with interesting product names and also are used by celebrities worldwide too.

I've checked benefit website looking for better deals but it's the same price on there as well. So this is certainly not a cheap mascara!

Benefit are proud to brag of this mascara's 'big, bad brush!' I don't think that they should use the word bad as this makes it sound as if it is 'bad' as in 'it is ineffective'.
