Review 1 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
FINALLY~A MASCARA THAT WORKS!!!
-05.30.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining, holds curl!!!!
This is the BEST mascara yet! It holds my curl, easy to apply, stay all day, it's perfect!!! I tried Lancome, Sheshido, Smashbox, Tarte, Dior, and some other ones from Sephora, as well as the ones from drug store.
I have really soft Asian lashes that lack volume; and I have been on a mascara try-and-error hut for the best one for my eyes. Some from the natural brands do not cause irritation, but they usually only promise volume but no curling effect. The others, like Dior and Mabelline cause my eyes irritation. I also tried "They Are Real" from Benefit, it's good but not as curling and natural as this one. I definitely recommend this mascara for everyone; the only downside is that, it could be a bit harder to take off, but I think it's still worth the effort.

Perfect!

I absolutely love this mascara. It lengthens my lashes without clumping or 'knotting', which are both problems I've had with other mascaras. The bottle is really pretty too, it looks great on my counter.

Review 4 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
Great but not perfect
-05.01.13
Quick Take: defining, lengthening
On my unending quest for my perfect mascara...
I was initially disappointed in this mascara because I didn't get the volume of Benefit's original BADgal Lash Mascara. It does lengthen and look a lot more natural than its big sister.
It's a bit drying but it's probably the least drying waterproof mascara I've ever tried.
It smudges on me but I've yet to find a single mascara that doesn't. Plus the smudges are not bad at all.
It can be a bit of trial to take off.
I'd buy it again, but I haven't stopped looking for something I like more.

BADgal, BADmascara!
-04.22.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, smudging
I had to return this as soon as possible because it was smudging all over my eyes. It was not worth my money. I returned it as soon as possible.

Review 6 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
Review 7 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
Buildable, Great Brush
-04.09.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening, defining, bulidable, waterproof, sculpting brush, messy packaging
My favorite mascara! It is very buildable and sculpts each lash perfectly with a uniquely designed brush. Very thick consistency but goes on smoothly. It is waterproof to some extent; if you shower it will stay in place, but of you go swimming it will begin to flake off. If you're looking for a good, waterproof mascara then this is great, but if you don't need a waterproof one, I suggest going for the original BADgal Lash or the They're Real! Mascara. They lengthen better than the waterproof ones.
After a while this product does start to leak over the cap so be careful.
OVERALL:
Great mascara, slightly pricey but would highly recommend.

Review 8 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
ZoeToo
No bueno!
-03.30.13
I love Bad Gal Mascara, the wand is the best ... But the waterproof formula is terrible. I live in AZ, and finding sweat proof/waterproof mascara is a must! I also work in the fitness industry, so I get sweaty in the studio too. After leading a class, I found the waterproof mascara flaky and on my lids, not to mention the black circles below the eyes. I will return this product. I wish the formula was like "Blink" but with a Bad Gal Wand! That would be the perfect mascara!!

Review 9 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
A Keeper Sort Of
-03.19.13
It is waterproof and tear proof but will not last long if say you are keeping your eyes closed for a massage or when sun bathing. It comes off easily on your cheeks especially if you have oily skin of products like sunscreen or foundation that is dewy.

Review 10 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
mayabest
It's ok
-02.26.13
Quick Take: alright
Honestly, This mascara is good waterproof but it doesn't lengthen or thicken the lashes. Basically all it does is make the lashes black. I bought it 4 the price but its worth much less. You should spend the extra money for a better quality mascara(:

Review 11 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
Life Savior
-02.24.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening
So I have really long, but really straight lashes, that I have to curl to get to look like anyone else's, or 'normal'. Then if I'm going to curl them, I want them to stay curled and not go flat again to what they are naturally like, soooo long story short I have to use waterproof mascara to keep them curled.
My first criteria was waterproof, for the curling of course, and since I am very active, ride horses and workout, so I wanted a mascara that wouldn't 'fade' throughout the day of watering eyes, rubbing, and sweat. Then I found BADgal waterproof which is LASTS all day!
Second was I wanted my lashes to become fuller, length isn't the problem. This mascara also gave me the most feathered and naturally full looking lashes.
The black color is also distinctive and gives me what I look for in a mascara, since that ends up being the main eye make up I go to for my day time wear, and just need to add another coat after applying my 'nighttime' eye make up.

Waterproof Holy Grail
-02.23.13
Quick Take: volumizing, lengthening
Love this! It stays on better than anything and I get no clumps or flakes. Seriously, you can wear this swimming and not worry about it. Goes on perfect and stays perfect plus the price is not that bad compared to some premium brands.

Review 14 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
The TRUE will NOT move Mascara
-01.24.13
Quick Take: great for contact wearers, unbelieveably waterproof!, difficult to remove, no flakes, smaller brush and regular badgal
I love this product but there are two issues I have that irk me a bit.
1) I have the regular BADgal and the eyelash brust on it is MUCH bigger, that was always my favorite feature of it, I never had to use an eyelash curler
With Waterproof, it comes in a much slimmer tube which is handy to keep in the purse... but it is EXTREMELY long wear so there is no need for me to cart it around... so I just dont get that product decision.
2) I was going to take it down to 3 stars for this, but since it is just doing its job I figured I be faire. But BEWARE: This might be the one and only TOOOOOOO-waterproof mascara ever created. Don't get me wrong, that is what you want, but after a full 12 hours + of no-flake/no-run wear, it would be nice to not have to scrub and scrape my lashes with 3 different kinds of makeup remover before I get ONLY most of it off. What ever is in this stuff is heavy duty, I dont have sensitive eyes, but I notice the odorless fumes make my eyes water a bit.
Perfect for the beach, long weekends with your beaux and all nighters at the library ;)

Review 16 for BADgal Waterproof Mascara
not shipped
-12.02.12
Quick Take: wont know what it is like...
I ordered about 7 items from Sephora, 3 of which were not shipped in the box, even though they were marked as completed on the packing slip. Customer service says this one was out of stock the other two were simply not included.
Come on Sephora- also the wrong samples were shipped...pretty sloppy. I am surprised.

Great waterproof mascara
-11.11.12
Quick Take: volumizing, defining, lengthening
I'm have Asian lashes (sparse, straight, doesn't hold a curl, and stains my lower lids after a few hours of mascara wear) - this mascara worked wonders to fix all that. The secret is to remove the wand before curling so it can air dry for about 10 seconds while you're curling. Apply two coats and you're set! to go all day.
