What the gurus are saying

The finished lash effect earns clear praise from those who've tested it, with one noting the dramatic lift from lash to lash and reaching for the full size after trying the travel version. Another expert has made it a regular part of their routine. That said, not many gurus have weighed in on this one yet, so there's not a lot to go on so far.

"I have the Bad Gal Bang No Bad Gal Bang from Benefit, and I really, really like this. I got this in a kit, the little travel one, and I thought it was so good that I bought the big one, which then broke and leaked immediately, and it kind of broke, and I had to throw it out. I did buy a replacement, which I have at home, and I wear it all the time. I think it's excellent."

"I got a little travel size as a free sample and I just keep it in my little travel bag. [...] I used it a few times this past month and it is so good. My lashes go from this to this, and I liked it so much I had to get the full size because it's just amazing. Now I have it in black. I don't even know if they have any colors, I must look into that. I prefer a brown or blue or maroon or something, but anyway, I think the finished effect is so good. I love it, it's great."

"I'm going to use a brown, this is Bad Gal Bang from Benefit, which is in brown. Again, chaos. I think the lashes are a little long, but I do like them."

"I have a couple of Merit blushes. This is shade Fox and Cheeky. Love these, they're easy to blend. No effort required. If I'm feeling fancy I'll do a little eyeshadow, but honestly I haven't really been doing that too much. This is shade Social, and this is the mascara I'm currently using. It's okay. I would not repurchase this. It's by Benefit. Is it just me? Benefit is a little underwhelming. It gives a nice amount of length to the lashes, but it's clumpy and it tends to fall out a bit."

"I love this. I can almost put it on without looking. It's one of those quick and easy mascaras. I don't have my contacts in, so it's a little hard to see, but it's just quick and easy. It doesn't flake during the day, I don't have any transfer, and it's just very reliable."
~Nay
"We have the Benefit Bad Gal Bang volumizing as well as waterproof mascara. I [...] didn't personally like this. [...] I don't know what it is, I have not liked their new releases. I didn't love these."
