Review: Covergirl LashBlast (Original, Waterproof and Fusion)

I bet you bitches thought I was dead! (:

Nope, just took a loooong vacation from blogging. I have absolutely no excuses for not writing for so long. No convenient explanation, no cute coverup. Just call me a lazy dumbbutt, forgive me and lets move on!

(You don't have a reason for a month of laziness?)

No, shut up foo'!

This is a review on Covergirl LashBlast Mascara- Original, Waterproof and Fusion.

Y'all know what the products look like, they have been around forever and are considered mascara 'cult classics'.

 My thin little Asian lashes. Sparse, thin and short to boot!

 With two coats of mascara.

 


Covergirl LashBlast (original):
It's a lovely mascara that does great at volumizing, providing length and separating the lashes. I love how thick and lush my lashes look after applying this, however too many coats will leave them clumpy and heavy and a little crunchy. Yum!


The length is decent, good for those who just want a little more elongation. As for me, I love the butterfly falsies look, so this doesn't quite cut it for me. This mascara NEVER smudges on me, which (trust me) is saying a lot. I have oily lids and my eyes tend to water a lot; at one point in life I got so tired of raccoon eyes that I stopped wearing mascara for a YEAR When curled, it holds the curl nicely. I'm not a huge fan of the giant barrel brush; my eyes are pretty small and it's difficult to reach the small lashes at the ends... and getting the ones at the bottom require an surgeon's steady hand to apply.

Covergirl LashBlast (waterproof):
Almost identical to the original except it holds a better curl and is difficult to remove.

Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion:
This mascara is claims to provide both length and volume, hence the FUSION. This mascara gives crazy length! I find it provides almost double the length the original LashBlast gave me. And if I keep layering on coats, I get mile long Betty Boop flutterlashes. With that in mind, I have to say this product gives very little volume, by little I mean almost none. I find that it tints my lashes darker and provides a little thickness, but that's it. No wonder I can keep applying coats without it getting hard.


I like this mascara for a really pretty, natural look. It's hard to tell I'm wearing mascara unless it's on close inspection and they still feel soft and fluttery. The formula seems a dryer than the original LashBlast so it wouldn't have a very long life. Due to it's dry formula, the lower lashes are easily reached. This mascara doesn't hold a curl as well as the original mascara.

Last thoughts? : When I layer these two mascaras on top of each other, I get the perfect blend of length and volume (probably what the Fusion mascara was supposed to be like). I don't do this all the time though, I'm more of a two-swipes-of-mascara-and-I'm-out-the-door kinda girl. I'm not loving the chunky packaging OR the bright highlighter colours (although Fusion is more toned down) OR the giant barrel brush, but it's what's inside that counts right?

In 4 words or less:

LashBlast: Volume and some length

Waterproof: Hard to wash off

Fusion: Length but little volume

All are pretty rockin'
