Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

This post was written a couple of years ago now, but I still love this mascara and is a definite repurchase. 

When I saw Glamour Magazine was giving away free Benefit make-up, I couldn't resist buying it! And for only £2 for the magazine, I thought that it was a real bargain, especially as Benefit make-up is usually quite expensive. After much deliberation, I chose Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara (I have wanted to try a new mascara for ages too!). 

I think it is quite nice to have a sample sized item, as it means it's not a total waste if you don't like it.

Even though it is Benefit mascara, I still thought it could be clumpy when I pulled the brush out from the container, but I was pleasantly surprised! The brush is quite large, which I quite like, although perhaps a little difficult to use on smaller lashes. 

I applied a few coats on my lashes. The colour applied well and didn't really clump. It gave my lashes a lift, without having to use an eyelash curler and added some length to them too. I didn't need to put as many coatings on as my other mascara, which is nice. It feels a lot lighter on the eyelash - if that makes sense! And it is easy to take off with a face wipe. Below are before and after photos.

I am really happy with this free item from Glamour Magazine. I think I would consider buying the usual size which costs £16.50. I would rate this product a 8/10 - it is a lovely mascara, easy application and good overall result. The product is just a little expensive - but I think it is worth paying a little extra for a really good product, if it works for you. 

Have you tried Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara? Or any other Benefit make-up? What do you think of it?

Thanks for reading!
