I finally got my BadGal Blue in the mail. (In the world’s largest packaging, really. It was a whole hell of a lot of packaging for a small tube of mascara.)

I have mixed feelings. It just seems so … violet.

How do you ladies wear this? Over black mascara? With thick eyeliner?

I really want to love this product, I do. I bought into the hype, hook, line and sinker. I mean, my Benefit counter here literally cannot keep the stuff in stock. But I’m going to need some advice because my lashes do not look as plump and fantastic as I’d hoped, my eyes don’t appear that much more blue and/or bright and I kind of feel like I’ve stepped into the 70s.

Am I doing something wrong? Was today just a fluke?
