Review: CoverGirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

I won this mascara in a giveaway a few months back and finally got around to using it!. I think this is the first CoverGirl mascara I have ever used and I am really impressed!




Bare lashes (and gotta love how frizzy the hair looks!)

Bare lashes:

One coat mascara (woohoo towel holding my hair =P)

One coat mascara:

Initial Thoughts: Love the thick brush and substantial tube. It is also a drier mascara which is good for someone like me who will always blink or sneeze or something that will leave marks with a wet mascara. It really made my lashes pop and is a good true black

Overall Thoughts: Love this! I can use one coat for every day or easily build it up for a more dramatic look.  It does not  smudge at all.  I have oily skin and it holds up to a full day of work, heat, and a workout. It also washes off easily with my regular face wash.  So far this is my favorite mascara I have tried in a long time! Sad that I am almost out and that I promised myself I would go through my stash before I buy more...must be patient!

Review: wet n wild megalength Waterproof Mascara

I love me a super affordable mascara.  And $2.99 is very affordable! Sorry I do not have package shots of this one, I bought it before I started this blog and the package is long gone.


It is a slim tube with your basic silicone bristles.

(please ignore the scary brows, totally need to work on those!)

Overall Thoughts: Wow! This is great for at $2.99 mascara! It adds great length as it promised and even adds a bit of curl to my lashes.  I can wear this one all day, it doesn't budge until I take it off at night.  Another thing I love about this, is that even though this is a waterproof formula, it washes off with my normal cleaner.  It takes a little bit more gently scrubbing, but I like that I don't have to use a waterproof makeup remover as those tend to be oily.  This is the mascara I reach for when I know I need to have my makeup last past my work day.  I can't help but be happily shocked how well this did for $2.99!
