Recently, I got Benefit's BadGal Plum Mascara. I had been admiring it for some time, so I was thrilled to get it for Christmas! But is it really worth the £16.50? Here's my review!
The first noticeable thing about the mascara is its unique and beautiful packaging! Unlike any mascaras I've seen before, it is in a purple and gold box!

So, the packaging gets a ten out of ten, but what about the actual product?
The wand has bristles, and is very big, which is great for creating lots of length, volume and definition, but not so great if you find the bigger wands harder to use! I like it, but I know it doesn't suit everyone's taste...
The wand scores 9/10!
As for the plum-colour of it, I find the mascara is a purple/black shade. It isn't hugely noticeable, but makes a subtle difference and isn't as harsh as black. It compliments a smokey or nude eye perfectly!
The colour is 8 out of 10 for me!
Overall, this mascara is lengthening and dramatic, not very clumpy and a nice purple tone! It suits all eye colours and isn't too garish! It makes a lovely change from black, so I would definitely recommend this, but I'm not sure if I would repurchase it, as it is fairly pricey and I would love to try the brown version!
Hope this review helps!
