The New Benefit Cosmetics Volumizing Mascara Has Serious Galaxy Vibes

Just as our two-year-old mascara has finally dried out beyond repair, Benefit Cosmetics just released a new mascara. According to POPSUGAR, this is the first time the cosmetics brand has released a mascara in three years, so it’s a pretty big deal. Clearly Benefit took their time to perfect this celestial formula.

Let’s face it, a lot of mascaras promise to make your sparse lashes look voluptuous and long. However, most inevitably make it look like you glued dead spider legs to your actual stumpy lashes. Thankfully we don’t have to just rely on Benefit’s They’re Real Lengthening Mascara or their Roller Lash Curling Mascara anymore, because we can upgrade to their latest and greatest addition to bene-family: the BADgal BANG! Volumizing Mascara, which has a formula made with aero-particles derived from space technology.

Honestly, the name alone has us sold. This new weightless formula promises to last for 36-hours, which gives us an excuse not to shower—because sometimes we just don’t want to shower (don’t @ us, Karen). While the BADgal BAND! Volumizing Mascara will set you back $24, it’s well worth the price because it will make your makeup look otherworldly.

Benefit explained in a press release that the mascara applicator has 300 soft, half-cone shaped bristles that coat your lashes in a flake-proof and vitamin-enriched formula. Combined with the mascara’s stellar water-resistant formula, this BADgal will keep your mascara from running when you do inevitably shower. Paired with Benefit’s new browsing app, this mascara will take our makeup routine to new heights and save us some time.
