I use this daily and it does not sting my eyes at all.
This has an awesome build-able formula and therefore does not flake as easily.....not even very much on the next morning!(bad me, I know)
If you have light colored, not very curly and skimpy lashes and you want gorgeous "full feathery lashes" fast ...look no further!
I have bought most mascara's that are priced below the 25 dollar range and imo, this is the best out of them all.
This really does lengthen, volumizes and finds every lil' lash for that "feathery dark full look" we all die for.

It does not flake for me nor does it make my eye's watery.....

I've been using this for some time and haven't noticed flaking through the day. I also have watery eyes and have never had any irritation with this mascara. Hope this helps!

best mascara I've ever used. Great for thin lashes!

If I try to put on more than one thick coat, it does flake as the day goes on. But it's good for a few hours.

I have VERY sensitive eyes and can't even wear some of the supposedly gentle Clinique mascaras without getting red, stinging and teary eyes. But this one and also Diorshow don't burn or irritate my eyes at all.

Mine flaked very, very little, was definitely a step up from other mascaras that I have used. And no it doesnt sting.

When i tried it on in Sephora, it was already vastly used and i already had mascara on and later that day i think it was a little flaky..

It flakes when it is getting old. It doesn't irritate sensitive eyes.

Stays on well as long as I don't rub my eyes.

no flaking, stinging, or other irritating mascara related behavior

For Me Personally It Didn't Flake I Put It On On The Morning And Stayed On. Oh And I Have Really Bad Watery Eyes And It Doesn't Sting! Hope I Helped(:

No, this is definitely not waterproof. I like that it's easy to take off with a creamy facial cleanser, but would not recommend for waterproof coverage.

This one is not; however Badgal does carry a waterproof mascara.

This mascara is definitely not waterproof! Although it will not run or smudge when you sweat or if you are out in a drizzle of rain, it will in heavier rain or while swimming!

From what I can tell, this mascara is NOT water proof or water resistant. Too Faced, Lash injection would be a similar brush, but with a water proof component, since the actual formula is different (forms tubes over lashes). I highly suggest CG professional mascara, which also comes in water proof, so far it has been my go to mascara and has knocked out all of the prestige brands.

This mascara ~can~ come in waterproof.

nope it washed out easy

No, but they do offer a water proof option.

I have thick long and extremely straight eye lashes. Before I use this mascara, I curl my eyelashes then I apply the mascara. Sometimes I go back once the mascara has dried and curl them again but this isn't necessary. I've never had a problem with Bad Gal mascara weighing down or straightening out my curled lashes.

I think you would be happy with this product on your long lashes. I get all the volume needed with BadGal without the weight of some of those other mascaras. For me, I've stopped curling my lashes all together and rely on BadGal to add volume and length.

I always curl my lashes with every mascara, and some straighten them. But this mascara doesnt straighten my lashes at all. It actually holds the curl. But i have very full lashes.

i have this problem too! i love this mascara with all my heart though i find using a lash curler makes my curler mascara-y so i use this technique : take a spoon and place the scoop edge on your lash line and press your lashes up against the edge with your fingers. works everytime!

will not straighten your lashes, no clumping

I don't have any problems with BADgal Lash, but my eyelashes are naturally curled.

If this happens that means your eyelashes need to be curled with a different curler. And do u curl your lashes before you use mascara? Because you must do it after!

It kept my eyelashes nicely curled. I dont have long eyelashes but the product didnt feel heavy.

I usually curl my lashes before mascara too, and I found that this just enhanced the curl. It straightened them but in a way that it really opened your eyes up and looked very natural.

I have not had any problems with the mascara straightening my lashes. I use a eyelash curler from Tarte, it's really a good curler. Try that.

I've found it at the actually benefit counter in department stores, but I think Sephora might have discontinued it.

They don't have it unfortunately, but they DO have BADgal Plum mascara which you can find at benefitcosmetics.com under mascaras :)

it was discontinued about a month ago, but it can still be found on benefit's website for a reduced cost, sorry about the bad news but stock up!

benefit counters.

It is being discontinued.

Sephora, Cincinatti OH

You can usually find it at Sephora, or any department store that carries Benefit

I ran across it on Macy's website.

When you click on it, it has the shades.

find it at Sephora

I have tried the BADgal mascara but not the other. As far as BADgal I would say its not any better than any other mascara. It definately dont make you look like your wearing false lashes as it claims. It becomes very dry, and is way over priced. I would probably try the one by Too Faced because BADgal was nothing great,I wouldnt buy it again.

I wasn't overly impressed with either, but now after trying both brands, I would say go with the lash injection over the badgal, because I found that I got more volume and length with the lash injection. The major downfall of the lash injection is that you have very little time between coats, because the mascara dries very quickly, and so it can cause a clumpy look if you do not work fast enough. The badgal mascara was about as good as dollar store mascara I've tried, and I'm not even kidding. I have naturally long lashes, but found that this mascara just didn't do anything for my lashes, and honestly I thought it made them look worse than with no mascara on at all (I don't have dark lashes either).

BADGAL!!!

I would get the BADgal mascara because it is a simple mascara that goes well with any eyeshadow or eye liner. I really recommend it!

BADgal Lash is my recommendation

BADGal Lash is the best mascara, hands down. I've only ever used the original (black) formula. A good second choice is Too Faced Lash Injection but it requires an extra coat or two beyond what BADGal Lash gives with just 1-2 coats. Too Faced Lash Injection goes on thinner, and not in a good way. So if you run out of BADGal rest assured you can create a similar look with Too Faced but it will take longer. Good luck!

The badgal lash is awesome except that it does flake off a bit a few hour later. Have not tried the lash injection but I think I will after this one.

DEFINITELY, definitely Too Faced! BADgal used to be my go-to mascara, but since I discovered Lash Injection a couple of years ago, I have faithfully used that; nothing I have tried has ever come close to Too Faced. It's the best one I have ever used for bold, dramatic, fake-looking eyelashes. I think BADgal is a great mascara - really - it's just not the best (for me) in terms of creating really dramatic lashes.

I seen it on the web site during Christmas time. I dont no how long ago you checked but if you still cant find it I would suggest e-mailing Sephora about it.

From my research on the internet, it seems that the blue bad gal is discontinued. I would try auction websites, such as e-bay.

i don't think it does, I'm almost positive that it only comes in purple,brown,and black. :))

Yes, this mascara comes in a plum-pinkish color and a blue. I found mine in Sephora in a JCPenney's. It should have it's own Bad Gal section. Their are the brushes on display, and below stocks of the mascara. I hope you enjoy your product!

Haven't seen it in stores anywhere! Only black and plum. BUT you can find it on Benefit's website. $19 a tube. They also have deep brown and waterproof!

I was the one asking the question and I found the blue mascara! Macy's had it on line. I was able to use one of my Macy rewards coupons too so I got $10 off. I bought 2 tubes and LOVE it. I put just a little over my black mascara and it makes my blue eyes pop!

Hey lady-
I haven't seen the blue anywhere, but they make a great plum. Sometimes I think the really cool colors are limited offers/part of a special pack. CHeck out Benefits website verses Sephora. Sometimes in store you will also have better luck verses online. Both have great stuff, but not always the same stuff. If you find the blue, can you e-mail me? I would LOVE to try it. polluxtocastor@gmail.com

I remember seeing this too! I believeit was around halloween. I haven't seen it since :( you could try contacting benefit.

I found the performance of Bad Gal to be extremely similar to Diorshow; I would consider them to be near duplicates. One time I wore Bad Gal on one eye and Diorshow on the other and I couldn't tell the difference. However Bad Gal doesn't have the perfumed scent that Diorshow has.

When I told the woman at Sephora I layered Badgal and Diorshow mascaras, she told me Badgal is actually the same exact formula as Diorshow-the woman who created Diorshow also created Badgal.

Pretty similar. Although I have to say I love bad gal more. I find the Teddy bear brush is spaced better on the Bad Gal. I'm a lifer with this mascara.

no idea

I actually use both Dior and Badgal, I like to change it up. I've found that the Dior can sometimes come out clumpy but going over your lashes with a brush after applying takes care of that. I think the Dior makes my lashes look longer. However, I really like how dark Badgal is, it makes my lashes look fuller.

I HAVE NEVER USED THE OTHER BUT BADGAL WILL DEFINITELY GIVE YOU BIG AND DRAMATIC!

I personally think it's better than Dior because of the brush. The bristles of the BadGal are tightly packed and do a much better job of seperating my lashes. My lashes are very fine and my eyes are small so that's why that type of brush is good for me.

I wouldn't say that one mascara is better than the other, they are just different. DiorShow Blackout has a heavier and thicker formula that adds volume. BADgal features a lighter formula that defines and separates. So it really depends on what you are looking for your mascara to do for your lashes.

They both are great but this one seems darker. Plus, I like to wear 2-3 coats sometimes on the weekends and this feels "lighter" on my lashes.

Dior is top quality. However since most of them are waterproof, they feel thicker on you. This one doesn't make you feel like you're wearing mascara and it's not waterproof.

I've used both and I prefer Benefit over Dior on this one. It doesn't clump and the Blackout tends to do that if you go over your lashes more than once.

I prefer BADgal(the original)

I love BadGal because it is a true black. It has a bodacious brush that lays it on thick. All you need is a few swipes and your lashed are loaded, long, and full. I liv for this product.

The Dior is better but I highly recommend the BadGirl mascara

For myself personally, I didn't like They're Real as much as I love Bad Gal. They're Real has a wetter formula and a different applicator. In my experience I've found that They're Real gives my lashes nice length, but not as much volume as I prefer, while Bad Gal gives me both length and volume. I also didn't like They're Real's wetter formula because I found that it made my lashes more clumpy than Bad Gal and it took the mascara longer to set. I think it really boils down to personal preference; They're Real wasn't an awful product by any means, I just prefer the look/texture of Bad Gal.

I use both They're Real and BADgal, and I think They're Real is better for special occasions--it makes your lashes super long (almost like you're wearing fakes), especially when you use the brush as directed, both horizontally and vertically--but I find it dries kind of stiff and is hard to take off, even with a makeup remover. It irritates my lashes when used too often. BADgal is awesome for everday, but still has a nice volumizing and lengthening effect.

They're real is a close second!

I'd say they are real is better. Easier to go on your lashes and better result. Go try them on in a sephora store!

I use (and love) both mascaras. I use BADgal as my daytime mascara - it's super defining and soft and your lashes look beautiful and full in a very natural way. They're Real is a great mascara if you prefer a more dramatic lash look or are getting ready for an evening out. They're Real is super volumizing and glamorous but requires a bit more dedication to keep lashes separated.

I've tried both. I went in to buy BADgal and the sales woman talked me into trying They're Real and I was so disappointed with it. It clumped my lashes together and made them spidery. I don't even think I finished it before I went and bought a drugstore brand until I could get back to Sephora and get BADgal! I've been using it for around 6 years now and it's by far my favorite.

Bad Gal lash is a more matte and dry formulation focusing on thickness and volume while They're Real is a slightly more wet and glossy formula for volume as well as length and lift.

The brush is the same size as the full sized product...the wand is just shorter.

it is the same size on the big bad gal tube and the small.

the brush is the same size but the length of the wand is obviously shorter.

Actually the brush is the same! You had a good idea about buying the smaller tubes. However, I personally find them not to last long at all...mine felt like it disappeared! So I just buy the big tube, I think you really do get more for your money.

The brush is the same size on the full and sample size.

the brush on the sample size is the same size as the full version

granted I owned the full size BADgal mascara years ago, but I do think the brushes are the same size.
