Give me a cheaper alternative to Benefit bad gal mascara!

I’ve been trying to spend less on make up and I’ve found a decent sub for my smashbox eyeliner in a L’Oréal one that’s 1/3 of the price. But I do like the benefit mascara. Anyone got a recommendation for a cheaper alternative?

HAve you tried the primark version of they’re real?

I haven’t. Thanks- I will give it a go

Some places have the bad gal bang duo with a full size plus a mini for the same price, while you are looking. I really like it too but it does shed quite a bit on me.

I had a eyeko lash alert in the mark's Christmas calendar that I liked, still ££ but cheaper than benefit.

For a cheaper option, I've had L'Oréal lash unlimited, it's often on offer around £8 and it's really good for the price imho

The essence mascaras from Wilkos are fantastic, I have used them for years.
Less that £4 each. The green lash princess one and the purple fibre ones are my favourites.

I LOVE rimmel Lash Accelerator mascara. My preferred mascara is Benefit They're Real but Lash Accelerator is a very close second for me and what I tend use for everyday.

These are great suggestions. I will have a look.Smile

Second the Primark one in the silver tube. £3.99 and way better than BGB (I have both).

Rimmel scandaleyes reloaded is amazing! It doesn’t smudge or clump, I have the ultra black one it makes my lashes look long and thick. I wear it all day and to the gym and it lasts. Also comes off easy with make up remover. It’s in a black tube with orange metallic writing

another vote for essence at wilko, rivals expensive ones, thick lashes with volume
