Benefit BADgal Plum Mascara for Warmer Eyes
Benefit BADgal Plum Mascara ($19.00) is Benefit’s latest release in colored mascara, which is a dark plum color.According to Benefit, “[i]f you wear brown mascara, this is your new brown!”
Tips and tricks: Not sure what kind-a BADgal you were born to be? We’ll help you decide. If you want to warm up & intensify your pretty peepers, BADgal plum is for you. Can’t live without your black mascara? Add pretty plum to the tips of your lashes for a sweet & sexy lash look.
I would actually agree with their sentiment that this is a good alternative for days when you want to opt for brown mascara. I, personally, have not yet had that day come (and I don’t know if it ever will… maybe in ten years?). However, the BADgal formula proves to give me decent volume and lash thickness without clumping my lashes too much until the third coat. I don’t think it’s noticeably plum, especially on a bare eye; I imagine you might see more plum-action when it’s paired with some gold-based shadows. No smudging or flaking after several hours of wear either!
Take a look at the wand…
I love dark purple mascara, it makes brown eyes golden 🙂 You have a fabulously unique eye colour by the way, looks like leopard print 😀
That’s what I’ve read! This is my first time wearing dark purple mascara.
Thank you 🙂
Thanks, I’ll have to check this out! I like brown mascara, sometimes black just feels too harsh on me.
No problem 😉 Me and brown mascara is like big foot. You hear about it, but you never see it.
OooO this really makes your eyes stand out!
Thanks, Lydia!
idk why but it still looks like black to me..
Same here.. x
It’s not OTT purple or anything, and since I have black lashes, it’s harder for a colored mascara to go on vibrantly or anything like that!
Looks cool, and def. looks pretty on you, but it doesn’t look plum. Sad. That would have been pretty cool.
Maybe if you did a coat of white beforehand, you’d get more plum. My lashes are black, so that’s not helping!
I really would adore this (I never ever use black, just browns and dark reds and plums like this!) but they no longer carry Benefit in The Bay and so there is nowhere here in my city to buy Benefit anymore… I think shoppers carries some of their products, but I know they don’t carry much so I have no idea if they’ll get this in 🙁
Aww, that really sucks, Kat 🙁 BOO.
Kat… The Bay as in the Bay Area in CA? If so, there is a Benefit in Mill Valley. Also, Sephora carries it! Good luck.
The Bay as in The Bay department store in Canada. I agree that Shopper has a very limited stock of Benefit.
i have the Benefit BADgal Blue Mascara but havent use yet…dont know if it’s good or not
