LashBlast Mascara by Covergirl Review | Volumizes & Lengthens for the False Lash Effect

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

CoverGirl LashBlast MascaraThe Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara is devised to volumize lashes giving you the false lash effect.

Covergirl has had the formula ophthalmologically tested. It is hypoallergenic and suitable for use while wearing contact lens. This mascara is also available in a waterproof formula.

LashBlast is available in 4 colors: very black, black, black brown and brown. The wand is a new design that Covergirl says it has 50% more bristles than the standard brush. This is to make sure very lash gets coated with the formula and to prevent clumps.

Users Conclusions

I have summarized ladies opinions of the mascara from their reviews on the Covergirl site.

Pros

  • Doesn't clump
  • Gives lashes volume
  • Lengthens
  • Natural looking
  • Easy application
  • No smudging or flaking

Cons

  • A lot of formula comes out with the wand
  • The tube gets very messy over time
  • A bit clumpy (one user found)

Ingredients

Petroleum Distillates, Polyethylene, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Copernicia Cerifera Wax (Carnauba), Trihydroxystearin, Propylene Carbonate, Pentaerythrityl Hydrogenated Rosinate, Tall Oil Glycerides, Tocopheryl Acetate, Propylparaben, Phenoxyethanol, Iron Oxides, May Contain (+/-): Titanium Dioxide, Ultramarines, Talc.

To Sum Up

There are mixed emotions when it comes to this mascara with most ladies singing its praises and some barely whispering!

The majority of users found it worked well for them and gave them volumized, natural and clump free lashes.

However, others found it to be a little messy and clumpy to use and didn't think it made much difference to the appearance of their lashes.

It is only $6 which is a bargain if it works! Could be worth a try seeing as most people found it worked wonders for their lashes.

Dramatic Supershock Mascara By Avon Review | Long Lasting Defining False Lash Effect in Black or Brown

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

avon supershock mascaraAvon Supershock Mascara has been created to expand, plump lashes for a false lash effect and is available in black or brown.

The wand and veil is devised to give up to 12x more volume with one dip. The teal plastic fine combed applicator picks up the maximum amount of formula possible to coat all lashes evenly with one sweep, according to Avon.

All Avon mascaras are always hypoallergenic and opthalmologist-tested, so should be suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Supershock mascara won the SELF Health and Beauty award in 2008. Self is a magazine that once a year since 1999 has picked out the strongest product from a variety of brands. If you are interested in the results take a look at the site: http://www.self.com/beauty/2009/05/healthy-beauty-awards

Avon is an ever growing popular brand that is starting to spread its seeds all over the world. I like the brand as its usually cheap and effective.

Users Conclusions

I have compiled the list below from users reviews from Avon.com:

Pros

  • No clumps
  • Long lasting
  • No raccoon eyes
  • Wand separates lashes
  • Thickens

Cons

  • Not waterproof
  • The wand doesn't taper in to reach the small inner lashes

Ingredients

WATER/EAU, SHELLAC WAX/CIRE DE LAQUE, BEESWAX/CIRE D'ABEILLE, STEARIC ACID, C18-38 ALKYL, HYDROXYSTEAROYL STEARATE, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX/CIRE DE CARNAUBA,
BIS-PEG-12 DIMETHICONE BEESWAX, TRIETHANOLAMINE, AMMONIUM ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, GLYCERIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, PARAFFIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, AMINOMETHYL PROPANEDIOL, SORBITAN SESQUIOLEATE, CELLULOSE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, GALACTOARABINAN, SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE, STEARYL DIHYDROXYPROPYLDIMONIUM OLIGOSACCHARIDES, TETRASODIUM EDTA, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, STEARDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL PANTHENYL PEG-7 DIMETHICONE PHOSPH.CHLORIDE, DIMETHICONE, POLYQUATERNIUM-11, POLYQUATERNIUM-7, TIN OXIDE, LAURETH-30, SORBITAN STEARATE, PEG-40 STEARATE, SILICA, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, PHENOXYETHANOL.

To Sum Up

All in all a very popular choice of mascara with most patrons relishing how it separates and thickens lashes.

There was one user that pointed out a obvious minor floor to the applicator. It doesn't taper in at the end like most wands, so it makes it harder to coat the small inner lashes without making a mess.

At $3.99 for a .35oz veil it is a very reasonably priced mascara, considering most are at least double that price.

Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara Review | Defined & Lengthened False Lash Effect

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Givenchy MascaraI find this Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara quite interesting. The ball shaped wand is a unique design, it is supposed to reach every lash and adapt to all eye shapes.

Phenomen Eyes Mascara is designed to hold the curl of the lash and leave them evenly spread for a "panoramic effect", says Givenchy.

Miss L. Chin says Phenomen is the "Holy Grail" of mascara's. Many ladies from makeupalley.com think this mascara is fabulous. It lengthens, separates each lash and also manages to reach even the tinniest lashes. Many users also like the very dark black color.

There are some people that aren't so happy with the results of this Givenchy mascara. Cosmonautte from makeupalley.com thinks there is a default in the formula as it takes ages to dry. Quite a few girls have had trouble using the wand and say it leaves smudges.

Ingredients

Water, Paraffin, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Polybutene, Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Acacia Senegal (Acacia Senegal Gum), Hydroxyethylcellulo Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Tetrasodium Edta, Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium, Cetyl Phenyl Ether Disulfonate, Potassium Sorbate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Edta, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, BHT, CI 77266 (Black 2), CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).

Phenomen Eyes Mascara by Givenchy retails for $28 and comes in black or brown. Yet another very expensive mascara on the market.
