A Blast with the Lash

If there is one makeup product I have to have on my face, it would be mascara. I love mascara because it gives a lot of definition to my eyes. Even though I am Asian and have darker features compared to my friends in the U.S., my darker features are actually quite light compared to my best friend - Kris. I love how Kris has the almost jet-black irises and eyebrows. Mine are kinda medium brownish-looking. And my eyebrows are in a darker brownish tone and it is sparse. Yes, really sparse! Anyway, I just don't have good luck with hair on my eye features - sparse brownish eyebrows and short, rather sparse eyelashes. Hence, eye products are quite essential and mascara is definitely a MUST.

I have tried different kinda of mascaras - both high-end and drugstore products. I think I have found my absolute favorite and it is reasonably priced. Introducing Covergirl's Lash Blast mascara.

I saw a T.V. advertisement featuring Drew Barrymore (one of my favorite actress cos' she always looks effortlessly chic, bubbly and pretty). She has the bold eyelashes in that ad. And I mean, BOLD lashes. I thought to myself, I want THAT eyelashes.


So I went ahead and purchased it. It has those orange rubbery bristles and it comes in a fat tube with a fat brush. I got the black brown shade.
One day, while driving, my best friend did commented and complimented my lashes saying it looks bold and dark and nice. (Compliments from her about my makeup are treated very seriously because she is so good with it). So, anyway, I told her the product I was using.

So far, I am on my 4th tube and my 4th tube is in Blackest Black shade in the waterproof formulation. I am not too sure about the waterproof formulation because it seems rather difficult to take the product off at night using my facial wet tissues. The regular formulation was perfect though. Even though it wasn't specifically waterproof, it didn't smudge and if I didn't take my makeup off before I go into the shower in the evening, I didn't necessary have panda eyes either. I am probably going to go on and buy my 5th tube (yes, that is how much I adore this product). They have different versions of Lash Blast such as in Luxe and what not. I can't speak for those products because I am really having a blast with the original Lash Blast formulation and I don't believe I will try anything else.

Try it. It is inexpensive and does a good job. Sometimes you will get a sweet deal buying those "2 in a pack" deal for under $10. I hope you will enjoy it.

I hated the non-waterproof version. Of course my eyes tear non-stop. In the 50 minutes I applied it and then left for work, I looked like a clown.

So I bought the waterproof version. I haven't tried it yet though. It came this week while I was out of town.
