| Cover Girl Clump Crusher (2 coats) on left eye and no mascara on right eye. |
I was a bit worried when I got home and realised we had picked up the waterproof version which is usually a big no no for my sensitive eyes (I wear contacts and am prone to infections). I have to say this caused no irritation at all! It was fairly easy to remove too which is usually another problem I have with waterproof makeup.
The wand of this mascara is rubber and fairly easy to work through your lashes. I did find I had no clumps at all but it also didn't provide much volume or length. I prefer my mascara to be very bold and dramatic so I have to really build up this mascara to get the effect I want. This mascara however works amazingly when paired with other mascaras as it removes all the clumps that volumizing mascaras can cause.
I'd class this as an everyday mascara and I'd recommend it to people who like their lashes to look natural. I don't think I'd repurchase this mascara as there are other cheap ones I prefer but I'll definately use it up.
Availability: Drugstores,Wal-Mart etc.
I find it so cute that your mom told you to review this! it does look pretty non-clumpy, and it'd probably be good for me because my eyes are super sensitive too :)
ReplyDeleteI've always recommended or picked out products for her so now that I have a blog she wants me to review everything lol.
DeleteI haven't used a covergirl mascara in ages -- I remember Procter and Gamble had a pop-up shop on Bloor a few years ago where they handed out all these samples of Lash Blast, and it really didn't work on me. This wand is pretty intriguing though, the bristles look long!
ReplyDeleteYeah I used to use Cover Girl a lot in my teens but not so much recently. I hated Lash Blast too and think this is a bit better.
DeleteThis looks gorgeous son your long lashes! I've heard both sides of the story with this mascara and if I'm probably going to try lash blash if I'm going to get a CG mascara because I want volume.

I think mascara is so subjective since we all have different lashes to work with.
DeleteGreat review! I haven't tried a new Covergirl mascara in a while!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI have sensitive eyes as well and some mascaras drive my eyes nuts...I'm looking at you l'oreal telescopic! So good to know this is a safe, natural looking option :)
ReplyDeleteI can easily wear L'Oreal Telecopic so hopefully this one would be ok for you :(
DeleteIt's good this mascara doesn't clump, my Maybelline Falsies does really bad and it's so irritating!

I like a little clump lol to add some volume but there's a fine line between too much and not enough.
DeleteI have heard so much about this mascara, Fleur De Force is constantly raving about it! Such a shame it's not so volumising but at least you can use it to de-clump others! I much prefer dramatic lashes too.
ReplyDeleteI've sent you an email ;) xx
I think if someone already has long lashes they'd like it but mine are barely noticeable.
DeleteI actually have this exact mascara, and it's a great plain old every day mascara!
ReplyDeleteI think you described it perfectly. It's plain and everyday. But my everyday look is usually more dramatic lol.
DeleteI have been using and trying out this mascara for the past month, and I really like it :)
ReplyDeleteYeah I've heard that so many people love this! Glad to hear it works for you :)
DeleteDoesn't seem like the kind of mascara I'd typically pick up but I would still like to try it because I've liked all the Cover Girl mascaras I've tried so far xx
ReplyDeleteYeah I'm pretty loyal to L'Oreal or Benefit but I'm up for trying anything really.
DeleteI've definitely wanted to try this one out, but I really want something that will add a lot of volume to my lashes so this review was super helpful :)

I'm glad this helped you Ezi :) Hopefully you can find a mascara that works for you.
DeleteUnfortunately I don't understand the hype about Cover girl mascara's:( I got the lash blast (purple tube) and it didn't do much. I agree, it gives off a more natural look, almost like nothing is there.
ReplyDeleteLol someone who agrees with me! Maybe people like them since the rubber bristles make them easy to use?
DeleteI was wondering how this mascara performed, glad to hear I can pass on it now... I agree too that a lot of these mascara's they change the color and brush but they all seem to perform just ok and about the same...
ReplyDeleteLol you're totally right. The new colour is probably just a marketing thing.
