Bad Gal Update

Remember my post on Benefit's Bad Gal Lash mascara? I really liked the product at the time and after using it for over a month now I can safely say that this is the best mascara...maybe ever. I wear it all day long (for about 12-18 hours) and it never budges. It doesn't smudge. It doesn't lose its lash definition. My lashes just look amazingly long and full all day long without a single clump. It is rare that I do an update post on a product that is, well, still awesome, but I thought it would be helpful to see how this product works long term.

If you are in the market for a mascara this is the only thing you should have on your list!

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara

Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara:

I am finally a proud owner of this Benefit mascara. I've heard fabulous things about it for too long and I just needed to try it out for myself. When I was in line at Sephora this weekend and saw a cheap little mini version of the traditional tube I knew it was fate.

I have to admit, I think this mascara really does live up to the hype. It created long, full coats over my lashes without a single clump! I'm not sure how long this little tube will last, but I think it's safe to say that I'm a Bad Gal convert.

Anastasia Lash Lifting Mascara in Black

Anastasia Lash Lifting Mascara in Black:

I got this as my free gift for getting to yet another 100 points on my Sephora Beauty Insider card. It is a nice little mascara sample size, good for traveling, and it is very black which I like. I don't really see the "lash lifting" element of this. My lashes were just where they normally are after applying and I even needed an eyelash curl with this when I normally don't when using my CoverGirl LashBlast. However, the more I use this the more I like it. It is the most natural looking mascara that I have ever tried. It's my lashes, just longer and fuller. There is nothing I dislike more than clumpy, flaky, gunked-up eyelashes and I feel like I spend most of my time with my favorite mascaras trying to avoid this in the application. With this product I don't even have to worry about it. Bonus? It will fit nicely in a clutch so it's good for evenings out.

I was not initially convinced on this one, but I am definitely a convert. I'm glad that I stuck it out!

CoverGirl Lashblast Length

CoverGirl Lashblast Length:

I told you the mascara hunt would continue! So after falling in love with the CG Lashblast Volume I knew I had to try the Length version. The brush is much longer and thinner than the Volume mascara and gets just a tiny coating of mascara on the wand. The fat, chunky Volume wand creates thick, full lashes and the thin, long Length wand creates long skinny lashes. I like how precise the wand is. It coats each lash individually and makes extend out just as far as they can.

I am beginning to think that the perfect mascara look would be a coat of Length followed by a coat of Volume. Who says you can't have it all?
