This mascara is a great mascara for the price $7.99 on sale I believe at shoppers, goes on smoothly and evenly, no clumps at all, and love the brush shape. I found it very easy to work with. I prefer this one over the the Lash Blast I've tried higher ends of masara, but nothing amazing about them, I find it comes down to the shape of the brush myself, I always seem to come back to Lash Blast, but now I'll be using the fusion.

I really love this mascara. I love it for so many good reasons. First I am a student so this mascara doesnt hurt the buget and it really does get the jod done in no time flat! It gives me instant volume and length and it hold curl great. When I first picked up this mascara I was a little worried because I had heard that lash blast original (volume) does a way better job at volume and lengthening your lashes. But to my pleasant surprise this was one of the best mascaras I have ever purchased and I will be buying this mascara again.

Love, love, love this mascara! While there is a bit of a learning curve with how to use the large brush, it gives very natural volume, and length with no clumping. Great for an everyday mascara!

I am never happy with mascara. I've used Mac since HS, and I'm 35 now. I am so sick of all the formula changes that I've lived through in the past few years. Just stop it Mac! It was great in 1997, why muck it up??

In the last 6 months I've been dealing with a disabled parent and while I still want to look amazing, I don't have time to go to the mall to pick up a tube of freakin' mascara. So, another solution needed to be implemented. I've decided to venture into the drug store market again. I got burned, badly by Maybelline and Loreal a few years ago, so I was very apprehensive.

I bought two CG lines and one from Nyx. Those reviews are still pending.

I have to say, I love this mascara. It doesn't smudge, it gives me good buildable lashes, it stays put all day, and is on par with Mac's Mascara X for daytime. Or maybe not X, I cannot keep up with all the new lines they release.

This gets a big YES and I will repurchase. So easy on the wallet too!

This isn't so bad, but it isn't amazing either. I'm stuck with it for now as a base mascara, which for me works well enough. It doesn't do much for curl or length, but it gives me a decent amount of volume and a very natural look, which is a must for me. I layer it underneath Cover Girl's eye brightening mascara, and the result is something I can absolutely live with. But I must admit I have a feeling something better must be out there...

And the search continues.

I've been using this for a couple of years now and love it for daytime. It may or may not make a difference, but I use the brown/black. It gives a softer look for daytime. I find if I apply to one eye then the other and go back to hit the top lashes one more time, I get a very full look that lasts all day. And I'm another of those whose lashes are practically non-existent.

I always find myself coming back to this mascara. I have tried others (Too Faced, Benefit, Maybelline, Rimmel, Physician's Formula, Lancome, Buxom, etc.) and none have given me better results than Lash Blast Fusion. It's richly pigmented and does exactly what it promises - gives my lashes gorgeous fullness and flirty length to boot. I apply 1-2 coats on a daily basis, but can build up a bit for a slightly bolder nighttime look if needed. This mascara has never smudged or faded on me... I do sometimes notice a tiny bit of flaking, but only after 12+ hours of wear (not a big deal). The formula is to die for - not too wet and not too dry. The tube is easily recognizable and easy to handle. The only downside (also an upside) to this product is the size of the brush. My eyes are slightly on the smaller side and while the brush doesn't prove itself to be a nuisance, it would be nice not to have to make the classic mascara face when applying! By the same token, I might attribute half of the gorgeous effect this mascara gives me to the brush - it separates and defines while somehow volumizing and lengthening - as if by magic! I could go on and on, but sufficed to say this is a great product.

Wow I usually do not write reviews unless I'm very impressed and I am!! I bought the cover girl lash blast fusion recently and I love it because
1. The mascara coats my eyelashes so evenly. Not chunky, formula feels dry but adds the perfect amount to enhance your lashes without being too much. Definitely an everyday mascara!!
2. The bottle is pretty! the top was hot pink and bottle was purple.

If you want a dramatic look, or you like chunky wet thick mascaras, this is not for you.

For going out at night I would use a different mascara!

Covergirl's Lashblast line is the only mascara that did not flake and had a moist enough formula for me to be able to say that my lashes are soft and bendable with mascara on. I wanted both length and volume (but mostly volume) from a dependable brand that was waterproof and not flakey. Volumizing mascaras are great, but many of them (especially Maybelline and Revlon!) are very flaky! I saw this in a drugstore on sale for $7.49, and I decided to buy it since Covergirl mascara has not failed me yet. Boy, was I ever right! This mascara has a great-textured formula that is very moist, leaving your lashes hydrated, extremely soft and flexible, and flake-free. It has buildable coverage, which is very important because a great mascara can give you long and volumized lashes for daytime or full-blown doll-eyed lashes for special occasions. The packaging is very cute and clean-looking, and the big brush is very soft and full of rubber bristles. Covergirl, thank you for giving me my HG mascara without having to spend a fortune! Never stop making this!

The first time I used this mascara, I somewhat liked it because it did make my lashes look darker and a tad fuller. I decided to try it out again to compare it to LB Length and UGH, the brush was clumpy as soon as I took it out and it's still clumpy even after a month of using it. It takes a bunch of coats to get a desirable look but it's nothing special.

The worst part is the chemical smell of it... I wear contact lenses so it really dries out my eyes. Even if it flakes a bit and gets into my eye it's super painful... ugh! The brush is also pretty chunky and it's not good for bottom lashes (LB Length does a better job of that).

I definitely wouldn't recommend this mascara to someone who wears contact lenses, but I think it'd be an okay mascara for anyone else.

Note this: No volume, lengthening but no volume.
The lashes barely look like they mascara on and the brush is big and cumbersome. Would not buy again.

When I first read all the positive reviews I was really excited about this mascara, but it's not that great. While it does add volume, it doesn't do much for length and is terrible at holding curl. My eyelashes will droop down after 1.5 hours. It also has a weird smell.

This mascara has a wimpy, wet formula and the brush is so fat I cannot wiggle it between my lashes to evenly coat them. I just don't understand how this (or LashBlast, for that matter) works for anyone. Can't hold a candle to Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes!

When I first got this mascara I thought it was pretty good. Now I look back on it and realize, (considering I bought this at The Christmas Tree Shop), it sucks! it's supposed to lengthen and define your lashes right? Well I tried the card trick (putting a card on top or below your eye lid to get a better look) and barely nothing came out on the card! Nothing was going on my lashes either. It didn't do much and didn't hold a curl very long either. The only way for it to come out the way I wanted it to was to put on too many coats.

This was my second try at buying a new mascara. It was a giant fail for me. It went on okay and it did not smudge even though it was none waterproof. I was thinking it would be alright, but not the case. I used my Lancome eye makeup remover to wash it off that night and it looked as though I got it all but the next morning I found flakes everywhere! I did not think I would ever get my face cleaned off. I got the blackest black I could find but it was not so black on my eyes. I bought two that day as they had buy one get one half off. I never opened the other one because being the same brand to me meant the same thing would probably happen. I took them back for a return and purchased a different brand yet again. So far so good with it. I will write a review on it if it is still okay tomorrow. I am starting to think drug store brands are not so good anymore. I was using Estee Lauder all this time but can only get that from the Mall. I may end up having to go out of my way to purchase E.L. if this third try is a big failure.

Like, woah. This is the mascara equivalent of a "scrubber" for me. Never before have I applied mascara and immediately wished I could wash it off. I don't know where all the positive reviews come from because I've now tried two tubes, thinking maybe the first was just old, but no - both tubes give me clumpy, spidery lashes that even a spoolie won't un-clump. (Of course I pat the wand on a tissue before applying to remove the clumps) It looks as if the brush doesn't coat lashes evenly. I'd like to try the formula with a brush from another mascara to see if my suspicions are correct.


So...if you're looking for clumpy, spidery lashes that look great from a distance but are a hot mess up close, this is the mascara for you. Otherwise, I'd steer clear. And seriously - the tube is designed to tip over if a strong breeze blows your way, so it's pointless to even attempt to stand the tube upright. Points were deducted for the packaging fail.


I get great length and volume from Lash Exact, great length (but little volume) from Rimmel Lash Accelerator, and YSL Faux Cils gives me great everything. Lash Blast Fusion can't compare to any of these, unfortunately.

Good mascara for every day look, can be paired with another mascara to oomph it up. It provides me with good length and pretty good volume. I like that it is very black, and applies on smooth. It doesn't clump on me, and does NOT smudge. The only thing I dislike is the wand. I know many people love it, but I find it too bulky for me. A few swipes with this and I get a nice dark, long lash. Sometimes, I pair this with L'Oreal volumnous for extra oomph. So far, out of the drugstore brands, I have loved the Covergirl mascaras. I got this for 2 for $10 at Target, which is a very good deal.

If your are the tyPe of person that wants natural looking lashes, then this is the product for you.
Personaly I think this is a great mascara for layering, and I like to use maybelline the falsies to layer with.
Overall it is a good product, i love how it separates each and every single one of my lashes and still gives my lashes some length and volume. Therefore I do recommend this product.
