OVERALL
As you can tell I REALLY liked this mascara and I think it's saying a lot because I'm not easily impressed at all by make up products. In fact, at first I didn't think this mascara was anything special! The thing about people who make reviews right away, I feel, is that they don't really get the full experience using the product for a couple days and then judging it, which is why I don't do reviews right away. But I used this for a good 3 - 4 months and I definitely liked it a lot. I didn't start liking it til after a few weeks of use because as it got exposed to air, it got a little thicker and I started to notice a lot more volumizing and lengthening. I didn't fully see the difference until I stopped using it and started using MAC Opulash and realized it didn't work as well as Bad Gal Lash!

I have thick, long-ish lashes and I could REALLY see the difference. I think you can really tell in my August 2010 Favorites Video and I think you can really see my lashes there. I tried to think of major cons with this mascara, but I really don't have any. It didn't give me racoon eyes, clump, or crack when I wore it. The only thing I really didn't like about it is the price, but I think in terms of size, it has more product than Dior Show Mascara. I've heard some girls complain about how huge the brush is but I actually liked the big brush. If you're not too keen on spending $19 on a mascara either, you could always opt for the mini sizes that Sephora has in it's little bins or even online. Mascara is kind of easy to grade because you either love it or hate it and Benefit's Bad Gal Lash was definitely love!

Product: 4/5
Packaging: 5/5
Quality: 4/5
Overall: 4.3 out of 5
Price: £5.00 [roughly $8USD] at eyeko.com

WHAT EYEKO SAYS: Transforms lashes in the twinkle of an eye! Lash friendly formual combining natural oils and silicones with added Panthenol (Vitamin B).
Designed to prevent dryness, premature breakage and to promote lash growth. The brush has widely dispersed bristles for evenly coated perfectly separated long lashes.

PROS: I really like the packaging, you know how exactly how much product you have left! Plus it really makes my lashes longer & thicker!

CONS: It doesn't separate lashes, the brush kind of makes lashes clump. When I wash it off it comes off in little bits.

Here's some pictures!

one coat of mascara // see the difference?!


second coat // gettin' thicker! but also starting to clump more =[


third coat // clumpin but i dont think it's that bad

COMMENTS: Overall I really like this mascara I think it's my FAAAVORITE eyeko product so far! And it's cheap, around the price of drugstore brands but I know exactly how much is left so I don't dry it out if I run out before the 3 months are up! The brush is really spaced out though so it could be a good thing or a bad thing. It doesn't really separate lashes how I would like but it gives volume & length the way I like it. After I finished applying it, my lashes reminded me of MAC's 7 lash - how it's spaced out but thick? lol I love this mascara & I would definitely buy it again!! =]
