Benefit's BADgals Only Volumizing Mascara Set pairs a full-size and a mini BADgal BANG! Mascara for $30. It was announced in February 2024 through Ulta, and Benefit says the mascara gives 36-hour full-blast volume that is smudge-proof and water-resistant.
What Is in the BADgals Only Set?
The set includes both a full-size and a mini version of Benefit's bestselling BADgal BANG! Mascara. Benefit says the brush ensures 360-degree reach for root-to-tip, corner-to-corner coverage and layers easily for maximum impact. The mini is meant for your bag, so you can top up lashes on the go.
What Does the "36-Hour" Claim Mean?
Benefit's marketing describes 36-hour full-blast volume that is smudge-proof and water-resistant. Our take: a "36-hour" mascara claim is a brand-run measure of how long the volume holds under testing, so it doesn't mean you should sleep in it. The original announcement marked the claim with an asterisk that pointed to Benefit's fine print, which we couldn't read.
Who Is It For?
Buy it if you already like BADgal BANG! and want a travel-size backup, or you want to try a volumizing mascara with a top-up in your bag.
Skip it if you need fully waterproof wear: this set's mascara is described as water-resistant, and Benefit lists a separate BADgal BANG! Waterproof Mascara in search results.
What Is Confirmed, and What Is Not?
Confirmed: the contents, $30 price, Ulta availability and claims come from Benefit's February 2024 announcement. Benefit's site lists a BADgal BANG! Mascara Gift Set, according to search results.
Not confirmed: the current price and stock of this specific set. Benefit's site returned an access error when we tried to open it, so we can't tell whether this gift set is still sold.
