Hi Sarah: I just read your review on the lashblast cover girl mascara: If you read all the reviews most of us love it. So sorry you didn't . You may have gotten a bad one. I think it is worth trying again. I have problems with mascara making my eyes itch but not with this one. It really made my lashes thicker and longer. You should email cover girl and tell them what you bought and your problem. They will send you a coupon to try it again for free. Good luck, Sue
