This by far, has to be my absolute favourite mascara! It has a very thick and dry formula, so girls who have thin lashes like me, this could be your holy grail!

The packaging is cute but tends to get dirty very easily.

The formula is thick, dry which is great to create spidery lashes (if coated many times) but it can be natural looking with one or two coats.

Not much of a smell, or at least I can't tell and its just great for those girls next door.

Doesn't irritate my eye and super easy to come off (not waterproof btw).

The wand is rubber bristles which I prefer the fibre ones.

Hope this was helpful!

I found it to be a big disappointment! it really provides no extra volume, it dries up fast & flakes easily. Won't buy this again.

This mascara is ok... gave my lashes length but not "Oh wow!" length and also just decent amount of volume. Smudges on my oily lids and under eyes at the end of the day. Not the best but not so awful either... On to the next...

I don't like the original lash blast (orange), but lash blast fusion (purple) is my go to mascara. I'm always trying new mascaras, but I always have one of these just in case. My eyelashes suck, but this gives them quite a bit of volume and a little length, and separates pretty good as well. I'll continue using this until I find my HG mascara.

I used to swear by this mascara, as it was the first one I ever really used.
However as I grew in my makeup journey I realized the formula is nothing special, it's really just the brush that helps volumize lashes.
The formula flakes and gets on my skin often and that isn't a cute look for anybody!
I just feel as if there are TOO many mascaras out there to be using one that is flaky and on the higher side of pricing for Drug store mascaras.

When looking for a mascara, I look for how well it volumizes, holds a curl, and lengthens, and this mascara only lengthens. It smudges a little bit for me as my skin is oily everywhere (including above and below the eyes), does not volumize as well as other mascaras that I've tried, and leaves a brittle-like texture after it has dried. This mascara also does not hold a curl. I will not be repurchasing this product - I even returned it because it was relatively more expensive than other drug store mascaras.

I used this mascara for about 2 years and loved it! It does a great job separating, adding volume, and lengthening my lashes. The problem I have with it is that in the past few months it has been irritating my eyes. I wear contacts and finally figured out that mascara was causing irritation to my eyes. I stopped wearing it and noticed that the irritation went away. I'm sad to be leaving it and hopefully I can find a cheap alternative

The best mascara by far. Goes on with no clumping and stays good in container for a long time unlike others that start to get clumpy. This will last for weeks. LOVE IT and I won't buy anything else.

I heard a lot of raves on this mascara for the past couple of years, but I never had my hands on it until last week... Here is my review: it does not do anything special to my lashes, somewhat uncurls them, takes a while to build volume, separates well, no clumps.

Will recommend to people who are looking for natural looking lashes.

I have the pink one (can't remember what that means) and I don't like it! I feel like as soon as you try to take the wand/brush out of the tube, it rubs against the brush and takes off a bunch of mascara, and when you put it on it's all dry and flaky. Definitely not buying again! It doesn't look like I'm wearing mascara AT ALL and it runs out super fast! Also, it's large-middled tube takes up space awkwardly in makeup bags. It also only lasts for about 2 hours, honestly. I was thinking of getting the 24 hour one but I didn't even like how this looked anyway so not gonna do it!

I was excited to try this mascara but ended up disappointed. My eyelashes were clumpy and the mascara flaked off. Not impressed at all.

This mascara flakes SO bad. The wand is very chunky and hard to maneuver, and the rubbery plastic bristles hardly pick up any product. Not worth the money I paid for.

I tried CoverGirl's LashBlast Volume mascara over two years ago and loved it (or so I thought). So when I stopped buying this product for some unknown reason, I tried different mascaras and none of them were doing a great job in holding up my curls, volumizing, lengthening my lashes....and the list goes on. Then I saw this product again (the packaging is decent: 4/5, and the price was okay: 3/5) when I was at my local drugstore remembering how amazing it was on my lashes, so I got it. When I took the mascara brush out and applied it to my upper lashes, some of the product somehow ended up on my eyelids (I'm assuming this happened because the brush was too big), but I managed to finish the whole tube without the brush hitting my eyelids by using a business card to protect my lash line. I wore the mascara for 8-10 hours and it kind of smeared after the first two hours therefore leaving some of the mascara below the bottom of my lower lashes. <---Not a pretty sight. But it did hold up my curls. In addition, I thought it did an amazing job volumizing my lashes until a friend of mine shot a professional picture of me close up....and I guess I was mistaken. Although, after all the negativity I found about this product, it is one of the best drugstore mascaras that you can always turn to when you want to lengthen, seperate your lashes (as you can see on some of the pictures shown above), natural looking eyelashes, and especially look for a non-clumping mascara. Yes, I was wrong thinking that this was my all time favorite mascara but it wasn't the worst either. It just didn't satisfy my needs.So would I buy this again? Maybe, maybe not. But I will recommend it to a friend who is looking for the requirements that this mascara has. I don't regret buying this product because it actually helped me realize what I myself really need in a mascara that will enhance my eye lashes.

Lash Blast and I have a love/hate relationship. I have very long lashes but they are not particularly thick. While I am applying it, I think it isn't too special but when I look at photos of myself wearing it I always think, "My mascara looks great!". I've purchased about 3 tubes of it and like I said, at the time I think it looks mediocre but when I look at photos, it looks great. I know so many people have been pleased with this product and, for the most part, I am too. It does a decent job of thickening/separating my eyelashes. Will I buy it again? Yes. But not until I cycle through all of the newly released mascaras. My personal favorite is the L'Oreal Collagen but I really need to compare the two side by side.

Overall: Does a great job, not my favorite but works very well and definitely worth trying out.

love love love this product! My HG for all mascaras! I love how you can apply coat after coat without it getting clumpy or flaky. I absolutely love the brush as well, picks up just the right amount of product. Long lasting, doesn’t smudge during the day and both waterproof and normal types are easy to remove. if you havent tried it or thinking about trying it GO GET IT NOWWWWW!

I was so excited to try this mascara, but I was disappointed. The volume is alright, not too exciting without a couple of coats. It doesn't hold a curl at all though, especially if you try to build up the volume with several coats. I will say that I like the brush though, it doesn't allow for a lot of clumping and separates pretty well. I was expecting epicness from all the hype, but unfortunately, this mascara is underwhelming.

I don't understand the hype behind this.. Holds no curls, adds minimum volume. Just average..

This is my favorite mascara. It doesnt clump at all and i like that you can build on volume without getting spidery. This mascara also replaces eye liner on my bottom lashes. I dont normally repurchase makeup items because I love trying new things, but I always wind up coming back to this one. Everyones eye lashes are different, if you are a fan of tarte lights camera action you will like this mascara!

Love this! It's one of my fave mascaras! I have this in the darkest black color. I have nauturally pretty long lashes. This lengthens and volumizes beautifully in one coat! it makes them look really natural. The for night, two or three coats turns your lashes from natural to dramatic. It's perfect!
