I’ve been using Covergirl’s Lashblast waterproof mascarain black, which I bought at Target for $6.99, for 2 days so far.

I picked this up because it was the mascara that was mentioned most in the comments, so I figured it must be good.

I’m not sure if everyone else is using the waterproof version, or the regular version, but so far I don’t think that Covergirl’s Lashblast Waterproof Mascara is any better than L’oreal Voluminous mascara, which is what I normally use.

The mascara goes on clumpier than Voluminous because the mascara clumps on the mascara wand itself. At the tip of the mascara wand where the bristles are shorter I can’t even see the bristles because there is so much mascara on the end of the wand. This also results in mascara smearing under my eyes, which I really don’t like.

I don’t want to have to waste time cleaning up mascara messes in the morning - I just want to put my mascara on and be done with it!

I tried running a tissue over the end of the wand to get some of the mascara off, but it was a little harder to do than it is with a normal brush. I guess there was more resistance due to the rubber bristles.

That’s not really a big deal, but since I don’t always have to remove excess mascara from the Voluminious, and I get the same length and thickness from both mascaras, that’s enough to make me stick with the Voluminous.

The mascara tip is also thicker than most brushes, so it’s harder to reach the lashes in the corner of my eye, and trying to reach those lashes usually ends up with me getting more mascara on my undereye area than on my lashes.

I’ve never had that problem before, and I have to say that I don’t like it.

What do you think about Lashblast?

Do you have trouble reaching your shorter lashes, or with the mascara clumping on the end of the wand?

If so how do you deal with it?
