This is not my HG mascara. I will say that this product comparable to my Neutrogena Healthy Volume in that it gives the same results, volume and thickness, just more expensive. Doesn't do much in the area of separating and I hate the brush, it's rather large, IMO.

I am addicted to trying different mascara's always on a quest to top my HG. I was super disappointed with this one. It didn't do anything special. Smeared under my eyes, and didn't hold a curl. I am not a fan of WP mascara since it is brutal to remove. Maybe the WP version is better?

I absolutely adore this mascara! it is amazing! perfect formula that really does a great job! it really makes my lashes bold, and seperate, no clumpy mess, no sticking lashes together, just a perfect thick lash look with no false lash pain! love and will repurchase!

This is a review for the non-waterproof version. This mascara smeared on me and gave me raccoon eyes within an hour. It neither lengthened or gave my lashes volume whatsoever. My lashes looked exactly the same except black. I applied three coats.

my dream mascara is one that makes my eyelashes long, fluttery, bold but wispy like mac false lashes mascara, but dramatic and long lasting like max factors 24 hour mascara, and stays curled all day with no flaking or extra coats needed.

whats good about this mascara? -
makes my eyelashes look really long and wispy (but in the nice way)
doesnt clump
applies nicely with minimum mess

whats bad about this mascara? -
eyelashes dont stay curled for long at all
not a true black colour, slightly grey
eyelashes flake onto surrounding skin throughout the day
becomes quite, how do i describe this.. um, 'bitty' and not smooth.
no volume

as you can see the negatives overpower the positives of this mascara, which is a shame because i really wanted to like this product as everything else ive had from benefit has usually been really good.
i also think the name wasnt thought about at all.. its more like a 'TIMIDgal Lash' sort of thing haha.
the packaging of the box and the actual tube of mascara feels really cheap too i actually really dont like holding it ergh, weird packaging fetish there :')
i was silly to get this product if im honest because my half arab genes blessed me with the eyelashes of a camel ahahaha, this is more for people with shorter eyelashes who want some natural looking length:)

Best mascara I've used -- makes my eyelashes look really long and fluttery.
Can be a bit clumpy and thick - but I like my mascara like that.
Really easy to remove.

Loved the brush on this and the easy application, no clumps and lots of length. Unfortunately it really gave me panda eyes - if you are prone to smudges, don't bother.

With a name like "BADGal" I was expecting something dramatic with dramatic volume. Well, I didn't really get that, but the results were still good.
With a few coats, I got a lot of length, definition, and some volume. With one coat, I only get a little bit of length, so you really need to put on a lot of coats for something to show up. It won't clump at all though, since it gives definition.
The lasting power is pretty good--it does smudge if I use this on my lower lashes, but I'm not fond of the curling power. It's a washable mascara, which explains it--I find that only waterproof formulas can hold a curl. BADGal Lash actually does come in a waterproof version, but the brush is completely different from this washable version, so I didn't get it.
BADGal Lash couldn't hold up my curl for even half an hour, which was a big disappointment.
But I mostly use it in conjunction with another waterproof mascara, and that seems to be able to hold a curl pretty well with me only having to re-curl once or twice a day. I've yet to find a mascara that can hold a curl all day.
The $19 price tag isn't that bad, but you can get a better drugstore mascara for half the price. There is also a mini version available at Sephora for $10.
Would I repurchase? No.

I've heard many great thing about this mascara and decided to give it a try; I was disappointed. Don't get me wrong,the product is a good one. It worked pretty well on my eyelashes; gave them length and volume. It's whether or not I'm willing to spend almost $30 for a mascara that lasts me two months. The Sephora brand mascara I usually get is a bit better, costs about $10 less and lasts me 3 months. Overall, I would get this product again only if it were a really good sale price.

Glamour Magazine (UK) are once again giving a sample size of this away again, so this is my first outing with this mascara. I have heard the bad reviews on it, but seeing as it was free I decided to give it a go.

Actually I don't think its that bad a mascara. I have certainly used a lot worse (They're Real) but it still doesn't beat my fave Clinique mascara. This one does tend to flake by the end of the day, so no good for me as I wear contacts. But I didn't get the panda eyes, and my lashes were certainly fuller than normal. Not too much length added though. Trouble is that by the end of the day, where it is flaking, it means that its all but gone after about 7/8 hours. But, another layer half way through the day should sort it out and also stop the flaking I suppose.

I wouldn't buy it full sized though, as I don't think its good enough to warrant the price.

My favorite mascara! Length and volume are the strong suits of this mascara. I wear glasses and I have to be careful not to build too much so that my lashes scrape my lenses. Totally worth the $$$.

I love this mascara!! It is not waterproof so it can wear off by the end of the day but I find it gives me thick, luscious, natural looking lashes.
It covers each independant lash well and is not clumpy or sticky. I like the wand, it's big and chunky which is good for creating volume. I think if you want a mascara to wear for a long time, to swim in or play sports it wont be right. However for everyday or going out in the evening it's fab. I buy it all the time and will continue to do so.

This product is an okay mascara, its really dry but it adds definition. It does hold my curl and it does separate but it flakes. It dies up quickly too, but it does make my eyashes look cute. The brush is huge and take a while to get used to but it adds nice volume.

This was my first high end mascara purchase. I was initially disappointed. I found the large wand to be cumbersome and the formula quite flaky. However, after a few weeks I grew to like it more and more. It is perfect for MY lashes. I got used to the large wand and the formula was not as flaky. BADgal defines and seperates my lashes, even the small ones. I have very blonde eyelashes. They are barely seen without mascara. BADgal coats them so they look flawless. I gave this product 4 lippys out of 5 because of the flakiness and it didn't hold curl as well as I would have liked. Mind you, my eyelashes are whip straight. In addition, it wasn't the thickness that I needed for applying false eyelashes. BUT, it was really great and I will be repurchasing. It's definitely good to try. The price where I live is $26, which is a bit much. Although for what you get, I believe it's worth it. The packaging is nothing special but again that's not a big deal. So, 4 lippys for this product!

Well I used to love this mascara but, it is very dry and flakes a good amount. It gives a natural look and isn't as black as I'd like it. A cheaper route is Maybeline's new plush mascara. Which isn't as drying and gives the same look. Also doesn't flake. It's about 1/3 the cost.

I will not repurchase this mascara. The formula is too dry. It did nothing for my lashes, but it did not clump them.
If you like dry formulas, try this!

I absolutely love this mascara! It didn't clump, it separated my lashes, and added volume, everything I'm looking for in a mascara. I definitely would recommend it. The only thing I don't like about it, is that when I apply it to my bottom lashes it smudges a bit after a long day, other than that it's perfection!

This product was originally brought for me as a birthday present with other various Benefit products and I have to say, it is one of the best mascaras I have ever had! it doesn't clump and covers my eyelashes nicely. My eyelashes are quite long so I find it difficult finding a mascara that doesn't look caked on or clumped but this one just does the trick! I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a decent mascara. I have a huge collection of mascaras from all brands and I have to say, this one gets a place at the top!

This is a great mascara. I love the fluffy larger brush that coats every lash perfectly. No clumps. This mascara does seem to provide a noticeable change in lash volume, also it lasts and doesn't flake away.

I'm not really surprised at so many bad reviews. I love this mascara when it is just on, it's very natural and really catches every lash. I find if you wipe the wand off a bit on a tissue also you don't get clumps, but sadly it only stays nice for about an hour! It does smudge around your eyes very easily. Generally I just check round my eyes often and wipe away any smudges because I love it as a mascara but if you couldn't be bothered with that you're probably better looking for one that doesn't smudge as easily.
