BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara

This mascara is recommended if you’re seeking a budget option that provides noticeable volume. We like that it contains coconut and jojoba oils and that it can be built up to create extreme lash fullness.

We picked the Extreme Black color and adored how completely black the lashes seemed. It was a great drugstore purchase because the formula wore nicely without smudging, transferring, or clumping. And while some online reviewers noted occasional flaking, we believe the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

ILIA

Fullest Volumizing Mascara

Any drugstore with a beauty section will have this well-liked mascara on display. It has been praised for years as a top-tier volumizing mascara, and despite the introduction of numerous other versions after this one, it is still a customer favourite. It guarantees to thicken and define every lash without clumping or smudging.

We can attest that it lives up to its clump-free promise. The lashes were big and voluminous while still looking natural, and because the product isn’t excessively thick or gooey, it works well for defining the lower lashes.

Although we wish it didn’t, if you’re not particularly sensitive to scent, it shouldn’t be a deal-breaker. It smells strongly of paint.
