When Priceline was having a 50% off entire Cover Girl line promotion, I quickly snagged a couple of their mascaras because without the promotion they are kinda expensive.
I typically go for the classic black and waterproof formula when purchasing mascaras but this time I decided to go different and went with this non-waterproof mascara and picked up the black brown instead. No special reasons, just curious.
The claim:
The pros:
I love how it separates and lengthens really nicely. I did not curl my lashes prior to applying the mascara just to see how it fairs in terms of lifting the lashes and it actually curls them pretty decently. It gives my lashes some definition, making them more visible but not looking like I have 10 coats of mascara on. Another thing I really like is I can never go overboard with it. Usually at the 3rd coat of mascara, my lashes will start to look a little 'spider-y' and sometimes clumpy. Not with this mascara. And even with 3 coats my lashes still feel light and not crunchy.
The cons:
Unfortunately it doesn't hold the curls of my lashes when I curl them. The mascara weighs it down slightly. Another issue I face is sometimes at the end of a long day, I see tiny flakes of the mascara around my eye area. The wand is HUGE, not exactly fun to use for the lower lashes. As far as the volume it claims to give, I've never really experienced it.
Good to know:
This is the first brown mascara I've tried and I didn't know what to expect but I can say I would definitely use this for everyday because it is perfect for it. This is a non-waterproof formula and it comes off easily with water which I absolutely love. At the end of the day, I just want to take off everything and go to bed and I don't like to need to spend too much time removing my mascara. Then again, I need to be really careful when it rains and I can't wear this to watch a sad movie. The consistency is quite dry but it is not difficult at all to apply.
The conclusion:
If there's an amazing promotion again, I will definitely stock up on this one. It's great for everyday use. Otherwise, the retail price here in Australia is too much for what I'm willing to pay for. Afterall, it only lasts for 3 months.

Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion retails for AUD 18.95 at pharmacies and supermarkets but it sometimes go on sale. Otherwise, try Ebay as you might score it cheaper.
