Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara - £16.50 at Feel Unique
I absolutely love picking up these sample size products in magazines, it allows you to get the feel of the product before you go out and buy it, or in my case it allows you to fall in love with the product and then NEED to buy it!
This was the case with this product right here. Benefit's Bad Gal Lash Mascara does exactly what I want out of a mascara, it darkens and thickens my lashes in the way I want it to. I haven't actually always loved this mascara though. When I first tried it I was actually using a sample size of Bobbi Brown's Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara (quite a mouthful!) and I was in love. It was perfect, but as I was used to using high street branded mascara, it was just too expensive to justify using up so quickly and repurchase and so this was where Benefit's Bad Gal Lash Mascara would come in. I would apply Bad Gal to my eyelashes first as a base and would then put Bobbi Brown's one on afterwards, still resulting in the same effect and therefore not using up quite as much of the product and while doing so I was using up a mascara that I just didn't like quite as much. Sadly the time came where my Bobbi Brown mascara had dried up and had ran out and really I did have to stop using it - trust me, I kept going as long as I could.
I then started using Benefit's Bad Gal Lash Mascara on its own and all of a sudden, I just loved it. I don't know whether it was the change from using a dried up mascara to using a new fresh one (I had a couple saved up - I go a bit crazy when I see products in magazines and stock up!), but this mascara all of a sudden just did it for me and worked really well with my lashes.
I would love to try the Bobbi Brown one again and perhaps use my old favourite combo! but alas, yet again, I cannot afford it - especially not buying two new high end branded mascaras! Sadly, my sample sized mascaras are running out and it's going to be time soon to bite the bullet and buy a new one. I have been contemplating repurchasing as really I do love it, the mascara and brush just work so well with my lashes and I know already that I like it but the Beauty Blogger in me can't help but want to try something new. Who else know's this feeling?! I am also contemplating repurchasing the Bobbi Brown one but I just don't know.

I know the feeling! Hating having to buy it when we got it so cheap in the first place! x
DeleteI've tried this mascara so many times from little sample sizes but have hated it every time, not sure why! x
ReplyDeleteI hated it at first as well, I only fell in love once I tried it with another mascara and then all of a sudden I just loved it on its own. x
DeleteI've never been able to get this to work for me, but I will definitely try using it with other mascaras now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! x
I love it with others! :) x
DeleteI change my mascara all the time! But at the moment I'm using No7 Intense Volume and I'm quite liking it. But I think for everyone it's preference because different people like different brushes! I like big fat brushes so I think I'd like this Benefit mascara, I'll have to try it soon!

I agree :) xx
DeleteI love this mascara for adding heaps of volume, but I usually need to use a lengthening/curling one first! Benefit's They're Real is my ultimate favourite, closely followed by L'Oreal Telescopic. Using up a Lancome one just now that I got for Xmas! x
ReplyDeleteI do the same, been using the Bobbi Brown one :) x
DeleteMy Mum has got me a Benefit mascara for my birthday next month can't wait to try it out x
ReplyDeleteIt's great! x
DeleteI absolutely love this mascara! x
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice! x
DeleteThis is my favourite mascara and I have one in backup that I got in a reduced christmas gift set. I love it!

It's so nice! :) x
DeleteI'm a fan of Benefit They're Real mascara, so I imagine if this is anywhere near as good as this, I'd love Bad Gal too!

I haven't tried they're real yet, next on my list for sure! x
DeleteThis is my very favourite mascara! I got it free with Glamour too, but sadly I can't afford a full size. It's a shame because it really is wonderful :)

Using it with other mascaras makes it last much longer as well! :) x
