Don’t faint, this is NOT a movie review. Due to weekend travel, I’m a little behind on them so I’m back to reviewing items I love!
I’ve mentioned that I love mascara and after treating to Diorshow, I thought I would try another drug store brand. So I’ve learned that I want a lengthening and volumizing mascara. And the CoverGirl commercials for LashBlast totally reeled me in, so I picked some up and got to applying it right away.
Here are my thoughts:
How much it costs: $8.99
Where you can buy it: CVS, Walgreens, Target and other major drug store retailers
What I like about it: The wand. Seriously, that thing could be used as a weapon. The Maybelline mascara I previously reviewed has a similar one and it really does catch every single lash, which is great for me. It separates well (better than my Sephora brush) and adds length to the lashes right away. I can definitely tell a difference after I apply it and it goes on easily on lower lashes too.
What I don’t like about it: I wish it was a little thicker. I like full, long lashes and this definitely delivers the latter, but I wish that it would add more fullness too because to achieve that look, I have to put on a few layers of the mascara. Plus, the little prickly ends of the mascara can also poke you in the eyes a little bit so be careful.
But overall, I like this and would buy it again. I have a feeling though that my next mascara purchase will be a little bit of a splurge, between Bad Girl Lash or Lash Stiletto, both really intrigue me!
Do you usually mix up your mascara brands or do you pretty much buy from the same line?
I LOVE Bare Minerals Flawless Definition Mascara. It’s not clumpy and it makes my lashes look super long!
I used to use this stuff and it was great, until I accidentally bought the waterproof version. Whenever I use waterproof I can never get it off even w/soap.
But I started using whatever the yellow tube is from CoverGirl recently and it’s working pretty well for me.
I TOTALLY recommend lash stiletto! I have always been a Maybelline mascara fan! (If I splurge I get Dior Diorshow, but I spend way too much money on makeup, so I try not to splurge too much anymore.) Real Simple Magazine reviewed it and gave it a good review, so I tried it and I am in love. I get it in waterproof and it is the perfect combo of length and fullness.
This is my eye lover. I used to do DiorShow, LashBlast…all the pricey stuff but this is my favorite. Have you tried waterproof? I find it to be a little thicker AND keeps me from having to redo my make-up when it’s cold out and I tear up outside.
