Product Review: Cover Girl Lash Blast Mascara

I'm glad to back as I missed blogging dearly. I did a post about a month ago about some products that I wanted to try. I actually bought all but 1 within a week of posting. This weekend was the first time that I used the CG Lash Blast Mascara. Let's start with the packaging. I love the bright orange color of the tube however the tube itself is very wide and not "small clutch" friendly. The plastic tube was fairly easy to hold. I'm used to the rubber feeling of my MAC volume mascara so I sort of wished that this one had that same texture. The wand was big but not unmanageable. I was able to use it easily for the bottom and inner lashes without much effort. This mascara works like a dream. It added length and volume to my lashes without clumping. I haven't tested it in wet conditions so I can't comment on it being waterproof or not however the package doesn't claim it to be waterproof. This product gets a Frugal Chic Depot APPROVED!

Without Mascara








With Mascara.....none on my bottom lashes

Cover Girl Exact Highlights Eye-Brighting Mascara

I was at work tonight speaking with my co-worker about one of our accounts and my eyes caught her eyes and I was immediately curious. I proceeded to ask her if she was wearing falsies (fake eye lashes) and to my astonishment, she wasn't. Seriously, her lashes almost touched her eyebrows! Ok, gross exaggeration here but it was that serious. I asked her what mascara she uses and she whipped this baby out of her purse

She had the black gold tube and she loves it. I'm currently in love with the Lash Blast line by Cover Girl, but I’m curious about this one now. This product claims to make you "get 4x brighter eyes". I cannot say I noticed her eyes being any brighter but the length was awesome. There was not a single clump on her lashes. It worked almost like a good bra, lift and separate. No doubt I’ll be watching the sales ad for this. Anyone have any experience with this mascara?

Beauty Buys

The October 2009 Issue of Cosmopolitan featured The Cosmo Beauty Awards. I look forward to these types of reviews because they usually feature drug store buys. I will use my Clinique, MAC and Dior makeup for those truly special occasions but let's be real that stuff is just way too costly for everyday wear. I don't wear make-up every single day, so by everyday waer I mean, church, the occasional party or get together with friends here and there. Based on these recommendations I’ll be trying these products. Naturally, I’ll do a follow-up review on these items in the future.

L-R: 1. Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship, 2. Herbal Essesences Hydralicious Conditioner, 3. Cover Girl Lash Blast, 4. Maybelline Dream Mouse Blush.
1. I've been reading on different blogs so many praises in the name of Long Term Relationship or LTR for short. According to Cosmo" this elixir fixes frayed edges and prevents new ones.." Well as you may be able to see from this post my ends are in serious need of some TLC.
2. My mom loves loves loves the Hello Hydration formula. I liked it as well but I'm open to try new things.
3. Cover Girl Lash Blast has also been getting rave reviews on the net. My local CVS has them for sale for $5.00.I'm looking forward to "major volume to wimpy lashes."
4. I haven't heard much about Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush. I'm willing to give it a try because Walgreens has Maybelline at buy one get one free till Saturday night.

Wish me luck!!!
