"This is the new Benefit BadGal Bounce mascara, I picked it up as a freebie in my last Sephora order. I do like it, it has minimally smudged on me. It's got that brush tip where one side is for application and the other side is for volumizing, it's pretty good."

"It seems like a nice formula. I haven't used it yet but it seems like not too wet, which I always appreciate. [...] I like the split design, it's [...] literally one half of the wand is a comb and one half is a brush, which is intriguing to me. [...] I'm always skeptical of mascaras because of my lashes, but I've been embracing the fact that my lashes just don't hold a curl."

"This definitely gives fluffy lashes. It does not build up like crazy, though, which is actually surprising. I thought with this brush it would be like a really beefy mascara, but it's actually pretty wispy. [...] It's really gentle, natural. [...] You're not getting [...] extreme volume. It's actually giving a very natural effect. I like it though. I [...] really think this effect would suit somebody who wants more of a soft natural lash look."
