Benefit Bad Gal mascara review



Hey on this sunny Saturday. Time for a lil review. I got a Benefit bad gal mascara with Glamour magazine and Ive been using it for the past week, so here's what i thought of it.
The main thing i noticed with this is that you have to apply lots of coats in order to achieve a noticeable look. The Benefit site states that it is a mascara "With a big, bad brush and a rich, black formula, it's like wearing a set of false eyelashes without the glue". Hmmmm now that is definitely debatable. For day use perhaps it could be deemed as ok, but i definitely wouldn't bother if it you are looking for the false lash look that Benefit claim. Another thing i found was that i had to check my face a few times during the day as it had a tendency to smudge, the panda look is definitely not sexy. I'm glad this was a freebie and i didn't waste my money on it, Lou x

  1. I used to be a big lover of Bad girl but I stopped using it because it does smudge really badly. I also got this free mascara(I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth!) and I noticed that I had to apply loads. I never had to do this with the full sized one so I think it's down to the freebie. I loved the look of the normal sized Bad Girl, but couldn't stand the smudging

  3. Get bent lash is the same and one of the least favourite mascaras that I've tried. Yet I loved the 'That gal' Primer and would recommend it to anyone, but I bought it in San francsico, so I am not keen on the price tag much :P
