Back when I was on the prowl for the perfect mascara my best friend went on holiday to New York and came back with a mascara like I had never seen before-Benefit's BAD gal lash mascara.

I oggled at the mascara for hours wondering what it would make my eyelashes look like and being in awe of how large the mascara wand was. Not one to share a girls mascara (I don't EVER want to risk eye infections-so not pretty!) I popped along to my local House of Fraser and gasped when I saw the £16.50 price tag. However back at the age I bought this product at I had alot more disposable income and decided to go ahead and buy the product.

I bought the product in black as it had always been my mascara colour of choice but it is also available in Brown, Blue and Plum.

With 8.5g of mascara I knew that I'd get a good couple of months worth of product out of the thick black round tube. The tube has a slight shine to it boasting the same design as its packaging. The lid on the tube is silver and gives you a good grip during application.

The mascara wand is unlike any other mainly for it's size. Slightly overwhelming at first the mascara wand is definately the secret to this products success. Managing to cover most lashes in the first stroke I instantly fell in love as my lashes felt like they had already grown in length thanks to the product.

I loved this mascara but the only thing that put me off was spending that much on mascara when there were other products on the market for alot cheaper than this, saying that writing this review has given me the urge to splurge on pay day!

It's reccommended by Benefit to coat both sides of the lashes to give your eyes that extra WOW factor!
