I was really excited when I finally saw CoverGirl’s LashBlast volume blasting mascara in the cosmetics section. So, $7 price tag or not, I decided to buy it! I came home, got busy with other things, but made sure to wash my face really well that night, and again the next morning, so that I would have a clean slate to apply the mascara to.

The mascara is… nice. It doesn’t disappoint in terms of thickness. But it doesn’t seem to do as well as CoverGirl claims. I get a little more volume, but not nearly as much as I thought I would. And it doesn’t do anything for length, so I’m left with lashes that look a bit stubby because of the increased volume.

Worst of all, this stuff is waterproof, but is more like removal proof. Even with washing my face with warm water and soap and THEN using makeup remover, it takes a lot of effort to get this mascara off!
