I love mascara, which I know I’ve said several times here. Well a few weeks ago, I wandered into Sephora, aka the makeup holy land, and was looking to try something new. I change mascaras like I do socks. But I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I get to try new stuff and pick what I really love and what won’t work for me.
No joke, sometimes I pick mascara by the product name and packaging. I’m such a visual person that I respond to that well.
And on that point, I’m giving a little review of my most recent mascara purchase from Sephora: Benefits BADgal lash. Crack that whip!
How much it costs: $19.99
Where you can buy it: Benefit.com, Sephora, Macy’s
What I like about it: It doesn’t clump really at all, which is great. It applies evenly, easily and gives my lashes nice length. Plus, it comes in different colors, including blue, which I’m very intrigued by! I normally just wear black mascara but I would like to branch out. Plus, the mascara removes easily without flaking or looking tired after a long day.
What I don’t like about it: As I mentioned in past mascara reviews, I wish this was a little thicker. It gives great length, but not the thickness I hoped for, even though the Sephora girl said it was very comparable to DiorShow. Personally, I don’t totally see it, but I wasn’t unhappy with this purchase. After a few uses, it got easier to get great definition on the lashes. You will need a lash separator after, but fortunately, it won’t clog up the wand.
Final verdict: I’m glad I got it but will likely be going back to Diorshow, which I’ve been the happiest with to date. And the price difference isn’t enough to let my frugal nature take over.
What about you? Are you a Benefit fan? Or do you drawn to or purchase cosmetics based on the packaging and product name?
Have you tried Dior Extase? I thought it was better than Diorshow! And I agree Cargo Texas Lash is another super good one.
Crack that whip! Now I cannot stop thinking about that Devo video.
LOVE this mascara. Also, you can purchase Benefit at ULTA.
I am always drawn to cosmetics because of packaging and name, and Benefit is the princess… Urban Decay is the Queen. I’m a mascara hoar… I had 7 at one time. Currently I have only 3 that I cycle between, and sadly BadGAL isn’t one of them at the moment. I need to get that again when I’m out of one of my other mascaras.
But if you want SUPER LASHES… check out CARGO’s Texas Lash ($20), and check out LashFusion XL ($24). You’d also notice a difference by using a lash primer before putting on your mascara, and the one that I’ve found works the best for me is Paula Dorf’s Perfect Lash ($20).
Can you tell I’m a makeup junkie????
