Dabbling in Mascara: Covergirl Lashblast Fusion Review

             Final Look                   vs.      Eye makeup-less Mugshot 
That right photo looks like a sad, lost little boy. It belongs on the side of a milk carton : )

A few weeks ago I won the Covergirl mascara giveaway hosted by Liana of BeautyBag411. She was so kind to send me a few extra goodies as well! I was really excited to see that she included an eyeshadow brush, so that I could finally stop using the horrid free foam shadow applicator.

Annnd get ready to see why I'm not a makeup & beauty blogger.

Finished with: NYC Liquid Eyeliner ($2) and a smudge of gray eyeshadow winging the outer corners.

Pros: achieved greater lengths easily. The wand is very unique and felt like a little comb, separating each lash as it goes.

Cons: a little clumpy compared to my usual mascara, and runs easily. I was wearing this mascara the other day and was a little horrified to notice this:
Eeeks! And nobody was kind enough to tell me : (

Would I use this again? Maybe on a day when I'm sure my eyes won't be watering. And maybe there is a waterproof version? Either way, thanks again Liana for letting me try this!

End look again - keeping "natural" for work:

Readers - what is your favorite mascara? My HG is Lancome Defincils (I use regular, not waterproof, and it has never smudged or ran on me) but I'm currently also loving Fiberwig "Paint-on lashes."
