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.
What's your favourite Mascara?
