Pro-tip: To build dramatic lash thickness, use a COVERGIRL Lash Blast Amplify Eyelash Primer and wait 30 seconds to dry before applying COVERGIRL Lash Blast Clean Waterproof Mascara.

All of LashBlast mascaras are housed in a thick bullet shaped tube, except for the Length version, which is in a long skinny tube. My only qualm is that the thicker brush doesn't grasp onto my outermost lashes without a little handy work.

This particular mascara is especially difficult to review, because there's nothing exactly remarkable about it, despite its being one of my favorite mascaras out there.

It's also one of the Good Housekeeping Beauty Lab's top-tested mascaras of all time, scoring high with consumer testers for going on smoothly, volumizing, lengthening, and separating lashes, being smudge- and flake-proof, and even not running or smearing after exposure to water. My favourite remains the original Volume for dramatic lashes, but Clump Crusher has also won my heart as a great everyday mascara. Mascara is one of those things that seem to perform vastly differently on different people and that people have wildly different opinions about.

Pro-tip: Pair with Covergirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner for extra contrast that brings your eyes out even more. I picked up Jordana Best Lash Extreme this week and so far, it looks promising as a regular mascara! The most noticeably different formula is the 24 Hr which seems to be made of house paint (I kid, it’s oil-based rather than water-based; very very longwearing, but does not claim to be waterproof). The bristles are also the same flexible, grip-every-lash construction that you know and love from the original, but when you dip it into the mascara itself, that’s where things change.
