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.

Chanel Inimitable Mascara Volume Length Curl Separation Review | Waterproof Brown or Black Formula

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Chanel Imitable MascaraChanel Inimitable Mascara is formulated to give lashes volume, length, curl, great separation and it should be waterproof too.

Apparently it has a unique brush design that helps deliver all the above. Personally I can't see any difference from this brush to any of the standard ones. Chanel just says it's unique but doesn't go into detail about how it's unique. An important detail that maybe it should remember to add in.

Users conclusions

Pros

  • Lasts all day long
  • No smudging
  • Gentle for sensitive eyes
  • Dark black

Cons

  • Expensive
  • No better than cheaper brands

Tips

A great way for applying mascara quickly but flawlessly is to put the wand as close to the bottom of the lashes you can, then pull up slowly while twirling the wand. This should give an even coverage without having to do another coat.

Also, when dipping your mascara in the tube don't pull in and out to coat with formula. This just pushing air in coursing mascara to dry up quicker. Just twist the wand around a couple times while in the vile to coat.

Ingredients

I was unable to find the ingredients contained in this mascara other than that it contains Pro-Vitamin B5.

To sum up

On the whole users found that it worked reasonably well, but considering it can cost up to $60 they didn't think it gave them the wow factor that Chanel promises. You can get it for $10 or under on ebay.

A few people did love it though and found it worked for them. So I suggest if you are thinking of buying it, test it in the store to see what you think first. After-all it is a lot of money to spend on a mascara that may not work!
