Covergirl Lash Blast in Black
Retail Price – $6 – $9 depending on location
Overview
I don’t know about anyone else, but I think a good mascara is so hard to find! What I look for in a mascara is a formula that will give me lots of volume and won’t clump my lashes together. After watching many reviews on YouTube about mascaras, Idecided to try Covergirl’s Lash Blast. All the gurus seemed to love it and I wanted to see what all the hype was about. Well, I’m glad I did because Lash Blast has become my new favortie mascara!
The first thing I noticed was the size of the wand. It’s HUGE! I’ve never seen a mascara wand that big and I didn’t know how well I was going to be able to apply it. Also, the very tip of the wand is curved so you don’t get that big glob of mascara on the end (which always seems to end up on your eyelid!). In addition, this formula has a very strong smell. If you’re sensitive to smells, I probably wouldn’t recommend this product to you.
Application
The formula goes on pretty smooth and I didn’t have an issue with clumping. With such a large wand, it was a little difficult to reach the inner lashes without smearing it on my eyelid. But after a few uses, I got used to the wand and no longer have a problem with it.
Taking it off is a piece of cake. You know when you go to take off your mascara and it ends up all over your face? You look like you have two black eyes, right? Well, not with this stuff. It glides right off with eye makeup remover. No need to go back over your eyes a second or third time to get rid of residual mascara.
Covergirl Lash Blast can be purchased anywhere Covergirl cosmetics are sold

Totally agree! I bought it over the summer in a kit with shadow and liner and I was so pleasantly surprised. I have short eye lashes, so length is important to me. Though I usually go for the really expensive mascaras, this one did the trick.
