I have a mascara mini/sample to share
with you today. I actually purchased it myself and I bought the mini just in
case I didn’t like it, and I also have a lot of other mascaras that need using
up anyway.
It is BADgal BANG! by Benefit
and it is a 4g mini of the full sized mascara (8.5g).
It is described as being smudge-proof, water
resistant, lifting, lengthening and volume building. The mascara is
cruelty-free, but not vegan (contains Beeswax).
I have previously used the original
BADgal Mascara by Benefit and this one is quite different. I remember BADgal
being very dark, wet and kind of clumpy, but BADgal BANG! is definitely an
improvement. The brush is skinny and kind of arrow shaped, which is perfect for
getting your very inner corner lashes and your lower lashes. It definitely
lifts, lengthens and separates your lashes, but the volume is not the best. The
volume is workable and the formula isn’t clumpy so you can apply more than one
layer to build more volume. The colour is very black. I’m not sure if it is
really smudge-proof because if you rub your eyes (when the mascara is dry), the
mascara will smudge and flake a little. I haven’t tried the water resistant
claim, but I imagine that if you douse your face with water it could probably
run down your face as it isn’t actually waterproof, but if you get caught in a
bit of rain you should be ok. It doesn’t run or smudge when you apply setting
spray. Overall, I do quite like this mascara. I have tried better, but I would still
consider re-purchasing it in the full size.
You can buy the full sized tube for
£22.50 ($25.00) and it is available for purchase from; BenefitCosmetics.co.uk
and BenefitCosmetics.com.
