it looks like Benefit has discontinued the original BadGal Lash mascara, which I am worried about since I have been using it continuously since 2001/2002 without any substitutions, so I literally have no idea what to use next. (My hit is about to dry up and I have watched * everywhere * online with no luck except for $ 45 + on Amazon and eBay. No panic, lol.) I don’t want to try the BadGal Bang ! Eyelashes because I don’t like the look of this brush and read a few reviews where people have described the formula as both wet and lumpy. the OG BadGal had the perfectly hairy brush at the perfect length with a great formula and I just don’t understand why they ditched the OG BadGal in favor of the BadGal Bang !, especially when the OG was a cult favorite. Anyway, I’m looking for fools or suggestions, drugstore or luxury (except Anastasia Beverly Hills, elf and NYX as they are produced in China and I object to working practices China and human rights violations). my eyelashes are very long and quite thick, medium dark. Honestly, I don’t even know how to find a new one in these weird times, because it’s not like I can walk around in a Sephora or an Ulta and look at my options, let alone try them out. like, even if i could watch the brush out of the tube that would be amazingly helpful lol. Thank you in advance!

Ulta and Sephora pretty much always show an image of the brushes on their own websites. Based on what I see on Google, the brush on your mascara looks similar to brush in Urban Decay Perversion, which is one of my personal favorite mascaras.
You could keep the brush of the one you currently still have, clean it and use it with a different mascara. It won’t last you for ever but at least that way you buy yourself a bit of time to find a new favorite 😊
