Okay so the LashBlast line is my absolute favorite drugstore brand of mascara. I have used it for several years and was surprised at what some of the reviews said... This is not one of those mascaras that are marketed as "soft"; but it doesn't leave my eyelashes totally hard (unless I put on too much!) either. This doesn't smudge, and I'm horrible about rubbing my eyes!
Tips for those who maybe liked it but didn't have the best luck:
#1 - Do not glob this one on! Use light, quick strokes and WAIT a second or two in between coats.
#2 - I find that there is too much product on the brush when I first purchase. I have to say that what I do is use a tissue to wipe a bit off the brush...but seriously I know that isn't recommended.
#3 - Use eye make up remover. It will help it to remove in one or two wipes, and not need to scrub.

Okay so first off... this is a concealer stick! This is NOT meant to be a contouring product, or for super heavy coverage.
I wear minimal make up, and don't generally need lots of concealer but occasionally I have a breakout, or uneven skin tone, and of course some dark circles. I found this best used for the spots, or small areas of unevenness (around nose, between eyebrows where I burn above my sunglasses...) but not for overall evening... use base makeup for that! For undereye circles, I feel there are better products out there, but this will help tone them down in a pinch.
I did not think that the stick smelled, I also had no problems with it gliding along my skin, or blending as some other reviews suggested. All those seemed fine to me.
The one negative is that if you wear other CG products, it's hard to figure out what shade would be best to purchase as it doesn't follow their standard numbering convention and instead follows the TruBlend format. I just kinda went back and forth until I found what I thought was closest, and it worked fine.

All of the Dove products are good but the Sensitive Skin Beauty Bar is a must-have in my household. We started using this a few years ago when some of us were having skin issues that were thought to be due to the dyes and perfumes in other products. The price isn't bad and you can catch the large packs at a good price at the warehouse clubs or on Amazon. -
