The new Covergirl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara in Black is amazing. This one has a rubber brush like Max Factor, but it's much fatter. The container is quite large, so I find that it takes a little more finesse to apply, but in the end produces an even less clumpy lash than Max Factor. I have a new favorite!!
I have very thin, sparse eyelashes and if I don't wear mascara, you can't even tell that I have eyelashes. So now, it's the one thing I won't leave the house without, even if I'm going swimming. Thank goodness Covergirl also made a waterproof version of LashBlast! (Look for the blue label.)
I have found that many times, the waterproof version of mascara is thinner and is almost sticky when applying it. But the LashBlast waterproof mascara applies the same and looks just as good as the non-waterproof version.
So yes, I must say that Covergirl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara is my new favorite. I hope that they will improve the container, as that is my only complaint. The product itself is nearly flawless and makes my eyelashes look great every time. June 3, 2008, 8:08 am

First off, a little bit about my lashes. I have stick straight lashes that point downward. I have a typical asian shaped eye with no crease. I'd say my lashes are fairly long, but they're kind of thin and the lack of curl makes them pretty unremarkable. The worst part of it is - they don't hold curl for longer than 10 minutes. I can spend 20 -30 minutes with a eyelash curler and mascara and think i've got a good look going, only to see them deflated by the time i'm out the door. So what mascara works? Lash blast does! After I've curled my lashes, the mascara definitely adds a lot of thickness and fullness to my lashes. I've tried a lot of mascara and they don't match the rich color that Lashblast gives me. It's a little tricky to use the big brush -you need to spend a few minutes making sure it doesn't clump, but it's well worth it! The brush is unique, holds a lot of product and coats my lashes well. At its price, it's well wroth it, but i can't give it a 10 since it's a bit tricky to use and it isn't a mascara that keeps my lashes curled. April 18, 2008, 3:23 pm

I was so excited when I saw this commercial and saw something that looked new and different. I was so excited when I purchased it and couldn't wait to have a chance to try it! My nieces wedding was the next day and so instead of my false eyelashes, I opted for the CG Lashblast thinking that if it worked like it said, I would look great! This was sooo bad. It gobbed on!It didn't go on like normal mascara and as much as I tried to work it in to my eyelashes it just gobbed all over onto my eyelid and under eye area. I decided to give up but to try it again later when I wasn't going somewhere special. I pulled it out again after reading somewhere that you really had to swipe the brush off on the side. Still no good, it's clumpy and gobby and just doesn't do a thing for my eyes. I really wanted it to work though. March 9, 2008, 12:17 am

This mascara is one of the biggest marketing ploys I've ever seen. CoverGirl is actually managing to swindle $8 or so out of us for mascara!? It's CoverGirl. They really jumped on the plastic-bristled brush bandwagon with this one. The wand itself has a large diameter, though the bristles (which do the work) are really quite short. The formula itself is fairly thin, though it manages to dry out after only a few weeks. Mistakes are easy to make during application. So, this is certainly not for beginners. June 2, 2008, 2:26 am

I bought this mascara at Walmart last week after so many weeks of hunting it down. This product claims to give you look-at-me lashes and it does live up to its reputation. I have stick-straight thin and stubby lashes and after only 2 coats, it gives me dramatic volume and length. I also have oily skin on the lid but the non-waterproof version doesn't seem to smudge or smear at all. It actually feels quite comfortable.
The two things I would appreciate changes are (a) flaking after about 8 hours after application and (b) non-curling effect after some time. The wand is a bit confusing for some ladies but I got hold of it from my first use. It's quite chunky so you need to find angles to get to the lashes at the corners of your eyes. Other than that, it's a wonderful mascara for less than $8.
I love this mascara, would purchase it again. May 30, 2008, 9:09 am

This mascara works good for the upper lashes. it takes a little getting used to. But for the bottom lashes it's a little too difficult. I usually ended up with smudges while trying to apply to my lower lashes. it wasn't worth the effort. It came off rather well and stayed on well too! it's worth a try if you think you can handle the big brush! April 25, 2008, 11:01 pm

This product changed the way my eyes will look forever. I have small eyes, and they generally look closed off. No mascara works like this does. It gives me beautiful long, clump free lashes, opens up my eyes, and makes my face brighter. I really enjoy this product. The large brush does take some getting used to, but is totally worth it for the end results. Some people complain about flaking with this product. I did notice some flaking by the end of the day, but not enough that I would worry about it or stop using my lashblast. Now I will never leave the house without at least throwing on some of this mascara. April 23, 2008, 8:20 am

First, I actually enjoy the bold packaging - it's fun to have in my purse and to take out. :) Next, while this one is prone to some very minimal clumping on me, I can usually just use the wand to separate them out and define my lashes. This definitely adds volume and lift for me, which is actually something I don't see with most volumizing mascaras without the clump-fest. I'd like if it left my lashes a little softer, though.
Try the waterproof if it smudges or flakes on you, and overcurl your lashes before applying if you're worried about uncurling. I really liked this mascara, though, and I'm quite picky about them. But it makes my lashes look great, and I wear it several days a week. April 22, 2008, 10:16 am

After hearing rave reviews, I bought this mascara yesterday at my local drugstore. I'm not a make-up pro by far, and only recently starting trying new products, most of which confuse and frustrate me. I actually woke up late this morning and barely had time to shower and run out of the door. I swiped this mascara on in a few seconds, and was amazed at how easily it glided on-- and what a difference it made! I didn't have eyeliner on, which I usually have on EVERY day (when I don't use eyeliner, people always look at me and say "whoa, you look tired!"-- very irritating), and I still look like I'm awake and fabulous! Once I actually made it to work and had a second to pause, I checked my mirror-- wow. They'd better not EVER take this off the market, because I will never buy another mascara. I've never had such long, clean-looking lashes! I've never before bothered to believe there WAS such a mascara that was REALLY clump-free, without very careful and slow application-- which was NOT my case this frantic morning!
I give it a million thumbs up!! April 18, 2008, 2:48 pm

After being a die-hard L'Oreal Voluminous fan for years, I grew tired of reading all those positive things about CG Lash Blast. I just had to find out if all the hype is worth it. I've tried those crappy rubber or plastic lash applicators before and really just hated them. They always managed to clump my thin lashes together and give me a Tammy Fay Baker look. Even my 16 year old daughter is sold on this stuff, so I gave it a try.
I think the thickness factor is similar in both the L'Oreal Voluminous and the Cover Girl Lash Blast. However, I think the CG seems to comb through a little better, so the lashes appear neater with the CG. I noticed the CG tends to flake after about 8 hours, which has never been a problem with my L'Oreal, so there was a strike against it.
I'm still not completely sold on this stuff. I'm going to keep using it, to see if it dries up in the tube as fast as L'Oreal does, but since the price is pretty equivalent to the L'Oreal, I don't know if I'll repurchase. April 9, 2008, 5:29 am
