Would you buy this product again? Oh I will be!
This is my new favorite mascara! I like it better than Diorshow and I thought that one was darn good. I have stick straight lashes and this is the only mascara I've ever tried that really makes them hold a curl. It doesn't clump or flake (diorshow flaked a ton for me.) It goes on smooth and is easy to seperate. The only thing I'm not too fond of is the smell, it's a little icky. Buy itttt!

I can see how this may work for some people, but if you have poker straight asian lashes like me, this totally removes the curl my eyelash curler creates! However it does a bit of a job as far as lengthening and thickening goes.

I was sugesed this instead of DiorShow the last time I was at sephora, the MA there said it was the same as DiorShow but better and also cheaper so I bought this instead and after trying it for a week and I really disliked it and have returned it!
the reason for my returning it is because it never really dried all the way and it ended up smearing all under my eyes. so I would say spend the $4 or so more and get the better mascara

Would you buy this product again? In a heartbeat.
This is the Rolls Royce of black mascaras, an inky blue-black gel-based mascara that gives the illusion of natrual-looking falsie lashes. The brush has an oversized chunky head, ensuring maximum product application with the minimum of application strokes. The drying time is on average for a gel, and it dries quicker than Diorshow.
NB on the similarities to Diorshow - beyond the similar backaging and oversized brush, these mascaras are poles apart. Diorshow is a grey-black paste-based mascara, Bad Gal Lash is a blue-black gel-based mascara. Bad Gal Lash has a slightly longer helf and practical life than Diorshow, which dries out quickly. With daily use, Bad Gal Lash remains wet for the entire six month lifespan.

Would you buy this product again? I would actually. It does work on me and my eyes look totally blah without it plus it doesn't make my eyelashes fall off like Maybelline Lash Discovery does. I don't like the brush cuz it's too big and hard to control.

I recently purchased Benefit's BADgal lash mascara and it is really good. However, I don't think the product itself warrents such a high price tag. It's great as it gives you nice, long lashes, no clumping whatsoever and I love the brush. I think there are budget store brands that are comparable and don't cost nearly as much. I expected to have extremely long lashes and ultra volume but that wasn't the case. The lengthening is great but when I compared it to my L'Oreal Lash out, the effect was the same. I expected more intensity from this mascara when comparing my budget store brand. Nonetheless, I'm I'm still lovin' it but I'm not going to repurchase. I'm going to stick L'Oreal Lash Out mascare since it has always worked but at a reasonable price.

Would you buy this product again? Yep, I'm a repeat offender on this one
I love it. I had been buying drugstore brand mascara forever and got so tired of the clumpy mess it left my already superlong lashes. I think I saw it in a magazine and when I got to a Sephore one day, loved the name of it and had to get some. I love the large brush and the FANTASTIC way my lashes look afterwards.

This was recommended to me, so i bought it whilst on a bit of a spree. Money VERY well spent. I usually only wear waterproof mascara, but this one wears extremely well and i haven't had any smudging yet. it really thickens and lengthens (or at least, appears to, which is what counts), and i love the big brush as it leaves my lashes mostly clump free. A great black mascara.

this is my favourite "dramatic" mascara. everytime i wear it i get asked if i'm wearing false lashes. i love that it doesn't clump or flake. just long, thick lashes every single time!  i would definitely recommend buying this mascara if you have trouble applying falsies. i don't understand all the comparisons to dior show tho, seeing as dior show shortens my lashes & makes them look spidery & stick straight (even when i curl them)

Would you buy this product again? Eternally.
BadGal Lash is essentially false lashes in a tube. Not for the faint of heart, BadGal will dramatically thicken and lengthen your lashes as well as applying a perfect blue-based black tone.

Would you buy this product again? No because i wear make up once a week so for me to go and spend $30 (w tax n in canada it comes to that) and have to throw out after using like 5-10 times isn't worth it. but when i had it it was fantastic!

I adore this mascara, and actually prefer it to Macs mascara. I think it has alot to do with the brush its self which is much better then cheap branded mascaras. I personally think the price was worth it, I've never had such gorgeous lashes!  I don't get any problems with flaking or panda eyes either.
