First off, I hate how large this tube is. It's hard to store because it takes up so much room. The mascara itself isn't bad, but it's not a shining star. The brush is large, but doesn't offer much volume. Honestly, it's an okay mascara and since it's cheap it doesn't hurt to try, but it's not the best.

This is one of my favorite mascaras, but I admit the cone brush is a little intimidating. I remember when I first used it I was really impressed with the volume and length of my lashes but these days I am less wowed. I don't know if it's been reformulated over the last four years or if I'm just "used" to it. However I also think this has excellent staying power and at the price point, it's a great option.

It just weighted down my eyelashes! I curled my eyelashes and when I put the mascara on, my curl went down! It does lengthen a little. I only use it on my bottom lashes.

It's a good product. It separates my lashes & makes them really long. But I will not be buying again since I found out that cover girl tests on animals.

I bought only based on all the review here, and i must say- all of you that gave it 4-5 stars were right :)
So i'm very happy i follow, it's a great one, i really got used to it, too bad there is no Covergirl here, other than that you must try this, for the price tag and for the great effect on the lashes- it's just fantastic :)

Usually I'm very picky about mascara. My skin is very oily so any amount of flaking turns into black streaks...I also tend to have "top lash" transfer below my eyes....not my favorite look. This mascara stays in place and does not flake even after wearing it for 10 plus hours. Delivers what it says, lots of volume, buildable without clumping...over all a great mascara for the price. I continue to repurchase.

I bought this product hoping it would work for my lashes. I had high hope because of all the reviews on it but was very disappointed because it did not work for my lashes at all. i feel that it weighed them down and did not help hold a curl. I have straight and very long lashes and i have never had a problem with other mascaras. this product works well for my friend who has a different type of lashes. This is not a bad product it just did not work well for me. what i did like about it was that it was very good at separating my lashes and i liked how it made my bottom lashes look. I will continue to use this on my bottom lashes but once it is gone i will not repurchase this.

let me just say that this mascara is wonderful! i have used many different types, from some of the most expensive to the most basic, and this is my all time favorite. i just seem to keep coming back to it! i have naturaly long/thick lashes, and this just puts them over the top, but they still look wonderful and real. It rarely clumps, but if it does simply wiggle the brush back and forth as you apply the mascara through your lashes and the clumps dissapear, i promise! The price is nice, and the quality is excellent. More times than i can count people have asked me if these are really my eyelashes, how great they look and ask me what product i use. I cant stress it enough, this product is truly wonderful.

After hearing the loads of hype this product got, I decided to try it... much to my disappointment. First of all, this product would NOT come off of my eyelashes. I tried both soap and eye makeup remover but it stuck like glue. The only thing I could do was wash it off to the best of my ability and try to pick off the rest. Secondly, it was very clumpy on my eyelashes, and it gave them a weird plastic feeling. The only way I could make this work is if I layered it over another mascara so it wasn't directly on my lashes. Unfortunately, it still clumped them together a bit. The only positive is that it did give me a decent bit of volume, but at a cost.

I don't see why this product has so many great reviews i have had better dollar store mascaras. This is clumpy the first coat i add it weights my lashes down and i have the non WP kind. It makes me eyes Itch. The only positive thing i have to say about this product is how dark the black is but that's all..

This is my absolute favorite mascara!! I can't go without it lol. Its just perfect. I've been using this mascara for a long time and i've bought it over and over. This is the first kind of lash blast mascara that they had out and i've used it ever since. Occasionally, I like to try other mascara's just to switch things up but no other mascara has even been comparable to this one yet! Definitely buy it! :)

I LOVE THIS MASCARA!! this is my all time favourite Covergirl mascara!! it gives length and volume (but not as much volume as it does length), doesn't smell bad and last quite a long time!! it doesn't ruin your lashes and doesn't flake.
Although when you put it on, you might find it takes a bit longer to dry than other mascaras but that doesn't matter because the results are amazing!!!
It works better when you curl your lashes and does hold the curl but i've noticed the lashes losing their curl through out the day.
overall great product and i am 100% sure i will buy this again and again!!

It works alright... like, good lash seperation and such, but it doesn't last all day and the smell is atrocious! I never complain about smell, but this one is just terrible! Also, I have dry skin so when it smudged i was very surprised cause this hasnt happened to me since i cleared up my skin! Honestly, I don't see the big hype about it... maybelline falsies flared is way better.

I have been using this mascara on my clients for awhile now. Probably the longest term I have stuck with a mascara. I've tried lots and lots of mascaras over the year - From Dior Show, Kiss Me Tube Mascara, all the way down to Maybelline Great Lash and everything in between. This has so far stood the test of time and works on most people.
PROS:
1. Volumizing
2. Stays put!
3. Non smudging
4. Rubber wand is great shape and material.
CONS
1. Dries out fairly quickly. Needs frequent replacement
2. The wand, although its one of the things I love when using on myself, can be a bit tricky using on clients because its pretty bulky to maneuver

This one stays in my kit and its the first I reach for.

This is an awesome mascara, and it really pumps up my eyelashes like crazy!
Generally, it does what it is supposed to do, without making a clumpy mess. The wand is brilliant, not too big or bulky, and I find that the rubber wand works very well.

The only reason I put four stars is that often times the waterproof one is impossible to remove! That means I often think I removed it all, but there is still some lingering there, and it aggravates my contacts/eyes.

I'm not a huge fan of covergirl but when I saw the picture of the wand I decided to try these out. I actually really like these mascaras.. I also have the Lash Blast Fusion, which I find to be exactly the same thing the packaging is just purple...Idk I just don't see the difference lol But anyway they only cost me about $6 or $7 which I think is a pretty common price for a DECENT drugstore mascara. And I mean it lasts quite a while as many mascaras do. I like the short bristles because they don't clump in the wand (hate that!) or in my eyelashes (hate that even more!) Because of this I can keep the package fairly clean and it doesn't get mascara all over it from me wiping the wand off constantly. I don't think the package is awesome looking (covergirl usually doesn't look that great), but I am not going to be all picky about it. I am not going to say this is the most friggen amazing mascara you will ever purchase in your life but it's pretty dang good for a drugstore. There are similar mascaras with the same type of wand I believe but I usually buy these ones because they were more memorable.

This product is too hyped up. My mom bought this the other day and I used it, right out of the package.

Covergirl is one of the more expensive drugstore brands to get your mascara, and so far I can care less for their mascaras.

The brush is fat and thick, letting you know it's suppose to give big bold lashes. I have pretty good, long lashes, and I had to apply a couple coats to get anything impressive.

Overall, the packaging is good, price is a little high, but I don't think I'll be buying this again. Maybe I expected too much, I'm not sure.

I had a very tough time finding a Rimmel mascara that I love so I decided to go with this and it gave me surprisingly good results. The brush it really big and the formula is thick and very black. I found that it does a wonderful job at separating my long lashes but doesn't really thicken them. With other mascara I had trouble removing it From my lashes without tearing them out in the process. This mascara is very gentle to remove with almost no effort and it stays really nice with little to no flaking.
