From the Brand:
Mega volume and dark intensity in one mascara for an over the top bombshell look from Cover Girl. Step 1 volumize - load on for unbelievably big volume - Step 2 - intensify - seal in with one coat for an intense, dark all day finish. Beautifully separated lashes.

Where to Buy: Ulta stores and Ulta.com, CVS.com and CVS stores, Drugstore.com, and anywhere else you can purchase Covergirl brand products
My Thoughts: This mascara lasts forever. Like seriously, for-ev-er. It's not even waterproof. I can put it on in the morning, and even if my eyes water or it's super humid out (as it's prone to be here in northern Virginia) this won't budge, smudge, or flake. You can check out my video review below for what a difference it makes on my lashes, too!
Side 1 is the volumizing side, and it's definitely a "lash blast" mascara with the shape of the wand and the consistency of the mascara itself. It's very similar to my LashBlast Fusion Mascara I reviewed back in September. {Check out that review here.} The major difference though is this mascara has a second side that adds another layer of intense color, and I'm convinced is what makes it last so long.
Side 2 is a generic mascara wand, and I don't think it's very useful in separating my lashes or adding any length. The first side adds all the volume, and it would be nice if this one had a comb or at the very least long spikey spokes to help separate the lashes. I have to stop in between the steps and get a metal lash comb to keep my lashes from clumping.
It's a little higher priced for a drugstore mascara being $11.99, since most I purchase are around $8.99 or so, but it's worth the few extra dollars. I've found myself using drugstore mascara all the time now rather than my higher end brands. I can two or three tubes for what I'd pay for a prestige brand, and even if I have to layer them I'm still getting more for my buck.
Final Verdict: A new Holy Grail Mascara? I'd say so! I hope and pray Covergirl keeps this one around!

Do you happen to know how well it works with contacts? I've found that I can wear some brands (like Almay), but others sting like crazy.
ReplyDeleteAmanda, I'm not sure. I don't wear contacts right now, but I will start in a few weeks probably. That'd be good to know! Hopefully someone will be able to fill us in.
