Covergirl Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara
I recently picked up this mascara at the drug store. I just can’t resist mascaras!
I decided to go with very black. The brush is great – I really like it. It’s not huge but it feels like it has substance. I thought it was easy to get the little lashes in the corners too. The formula was good too – it wasn’t clumpy and it added volume to my lashes. It stayed put and disn’t smudge throughout the day.
There are four colors available, but unfortunately it’s not available in a waterproof formula. According to the Covergirl website it’s ophthalmologically tested as well as being a great pick for sensitive eyes and those who wear contacts.
Covergirl’s Professional Super Thick Lash Mascara is available at your local drugstore for $8.
Disclosure: I bought this product myself.

Maybelline Intense XXL Volume & Length Microfiber Mascara
I’ve been using this mascara for awhile now and I’ve really been enjoying it. Most of the time during the summer I like to keep my beauty routine pretty simple – mascara, lip gloss, and blush. Because of that I really like how this mascara makes my eyes look bigger – without a lot of effort.
This is a two step mascara – the base coat is white and lengthens your lashes (the website says up to 40%), while the black top coat provides the volume (up to 6x according to the site). I found that it did add length and volume, and made my lashes look great.
One of the things that I really like about it is that it doesn’t clump when you put it on. I’ve tried other two step mascaras and it’s just a mess when you try to apply the second step, but this one applies really well.
I was telling a friend about it and one of her concerns was that the top coat wouldn’t cover up the white first coat. I told her though that it covers really well and you don’t have to worry about walking around with white lashes.
This formula is available in washable and waterproof, as well as two colors, black and brownish black. Check it out at your local drugstore.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara
Hi ladies. First off I have to apologize for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. What can I say other than the fact that summer got in the way of regular postings. Sorry about that. But now onto the product review……
So I just might be the last person on earth to try Cover Girl’s Lash Blast mascara. Better late than never right? In short, I love it and I can’t believe it took me so long to try it.
The brush seemed huge at first, but once I got the hang of it I really liked how it went on. I found that it gave my lashes some serious volume and left them looking really full. I know some people haven’t liked the bigger brush but I really liked it. I’m not very coordinated and I found it easier to apply because the brush was bigger, although I did find it a little tough to get those little lashes in the corner without getting mascara on my skin.
Lash Blast comes in four colors, from brown to very black, as well as in waterproof. According to the website it’s hypoallergenic, smudge and smear-proof, and safe for people who wear contacts.
I ended up having to go to a couple stores before I found the color I wanted in the washable formula because they were sold out, so be warned that you might have to do a little searching for it, but this mascara is worth it.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
I’ve used this mascara for years now. It’s a great formula for natural looking lashes that won’t clump. It’s hypoallergenic and contact lens safe for those of us who don’t like to wear our glasses. According to the Maybelline website this mascara also conditions your lashes as you use it. Although it won’t give you a lot of volume or lengthening, it gives you beautiful natural looking lashes.
I use brownish black in the washable formula. I find that it stays where it’s supposed to and is easy to take off with eye makeup remover at the end of the day. It’s available in 5 different shades, from Blackest Black to Dark Brown.
All in all, I really like this product. It’s my go to mascara for everyday. It’s available at drugstores for a very affordable $7.
