Beanmistriss, I am a mascara addict and I wouldn't recommend bad gal lash at all. It doesn't build up or give volume and the brush is so big and combersome it seems to get everywhere. I wouldn't recommend any Benefit mascara (although I do like their other make up). I've used Lancome Hypnose which is great (feel like lashes are tapping my forehead!!) but if Fatale is the one with the brush then again I wouldn't bother as that isn't very good. However, if it's not then I'd try that one if you like the look as I know loads of peeps who use Lancome Mascara's and really like them too.
A corker of a mascara is YSL Volume Effect Mascara (False Lash Effect). I love the stuff. It's about �18.50 in boots but you can get it on a website called La Preya for �12.50. I've used this website to purchase it and found it fine.

Either that or Lancome Hypnose would be my faves!
