This is my favourite mascara but beware if you get an off tube it does flake. But this only happened once in the 4 mascaras I've bought. Every other time I've gotten big bold results and it washes off easily. It delivers the most bang for your buck of drugstore brand mascaras I've tried.
I can't honestly say that this is the "IT" mascara for me. Its a bunch of hype. Sure it gives you voluminous lashes, but it can get very clumpy and your lashes are stacked together and its hard to wash off at the end of the night! You can just pull the clumps off with your fingers at the end of the day. ewww. The brush really isn't all that big to be honest. I've seen bigger.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
I have to start by saying that I love full lashes. I already have a good set of dark lashes, but I want to give them a kick every now and then. I often buy mascara with voluminous qualities, and I thought that I would find it in Cover Girl's LashBlast Mascara. Well, although it gave me volume, I was taunted by the thickness of the brush. It was so thick I was afraid I would be poking my eye out. Also, it was hard to start from the baseline of the lash because you do not want to get that huge brush any closer to your eyes.
The best technique when applying voluminous mascara is to start from the root of the lashes, jiggle it, and move your way up. But you couldn't do it with this mascara because it's just too scary! Also, after like a couple of hours, it starts to flake. It gets annoying when I have to wipe the flakes off my cheeks every now and then. I'm guessing there's a different way of using the brush for this mascara, but honestly, I don't want that scary thing anywhere near my eyes anymore.
After I hearing rave reviews about it online I decided to get it because I was looking for a better mascara than my L'Oreal Voluminous mascara that kind of made my lashes look spidery after being open for awhile. Although it took awhile getting use to the big brush, I think what they did for my lashes was pretty good. It made my lashes look thicker and longer. Not only that, but the price is pretty good too. What more can you ask for? Apparently I can ask for the waterproof version to be oil proof as well (I've got oily lids). Although I really wanted to love this mascara, I couldn't. Not too long after applying it, it started to smudge on my lower lid underneath my lower lash line. It happens every time i put it on! / Hopefully it'll work better for all of you.
I used to only buy the stuff that was on sale at the time, but I don't think I could go back to doing that with mascara. I adore this stuff and have no intention of using anything else again.
Pros: doesn't clump, lengthens and thickens lashes, smooth texture and dramatic effect.
Cons: I honestly can't think of any.
This mascars ROCKS!!! It gives great volume and seperation. NO SPIDER EYES!! I use the blackest black and it makes my eyes really POP!! I cannot wait to try the Lashblast LUXE....I just cant seem to find it around here yet...but I am not giving up hope!
Well I should start by saying that the only reason I bought the product was because Shoppers Drug Mart has a service where if you buy the feature product, you get your makeup done for free and it was my Prom so I had to go the extra mile.
I thought the product was awesome and made even that much greater by the fact that even though I cried "laughing", the product really held its own. It didn't smudge, flake, and I didn't get it on my eyelids (which probably has more to do with me then the product itself, I just thought it was worth mentioning). Plus it' made my lashes reeeaallly stand out, I loved it.
Unfortunately, it was mysteriously lost when I lent it to my mother.
P.S That's a picture of me at Prom
