I work in a gym and really like this mascara because it's holds up to a sweaty workout without being impossible to remove like waterproof mascaras. I'm sad it is discontinued but was happy to be able to get my hands on a few more tubes before it's gone forever.It pretty much works as intended. Doesn't really make my eyelashes pop but still holds up through my workouts.This mascara is one of my all time favorites and adds the perfect amount of length for naturally voluminous lashes; This mascara does offer a little volume but is mostly lengthening. Mildly smudge proof, non-clumping, and very smooth formula.This particular mascara is pretty difficult to find in-store in my area, so I am glad I could purchase through Amazon!This is a holy grail mascara for me! I LOVE wearing bottom lash mascara but I hate that it smudges - I have crinkly under eyes and this does not leave smudges even after a long day! I wear this everywhere - from work to concerts and it never lets me down. Not clumpy, not sticky, not impossible to remove at the end of the day either! Thank you CGsummer makeupIt does what I was looking for it to do. And that is to stay on all day smudge proof waterproof. And makes me look as if I have longer thicker lashes.Great for winter time. Wears off easily in the heat and humidity.Most mascaras run on me, but this is one of the very few that don’t. I haven’t tested it in the rain or crying or anything… but it doesn’t run with the oils on my face. I’m so glad that they’re still making this. If I could change one thing it would be the brush/wand. I wish it were round all the way around like a normal wand. Other than that, it is perfect.Great value for the price.Absolutely beautiful! Love this one !Very average mascara, very subtle definition and length. Did not flake. Covergirl makes some nice affordable mascaras but you can skip this one.Not everyone is going to love this mascara - it's sort of a different formula. For me, I love it. The brush is stiff and yet nimble, allowing you to apply closely to the lashes. My favourite feature is how the formula sort of...coats your lashes in a tube-like encasing (that's how it dries). This means that it really doesn't smudge after it dries because it sort of becomes...plasticy (it's not plastic of course).This means that no, this is not the best formula to use if you want your top lashes to be fanned and fabulous. What this COVERGIRL - Lash Blast Active Mascara is perfect for is use on your BOTTOM lashes. I have been applying it every day and my bottom lashes now look like Bambi lashes. I use a more traditional formula on my top lashes. This is a game changer for me because ALL other mascaras but for this one have smudged on my bottom lashes, leaving me looking like a trash panda. No more! This is my new secret bottom-lash weapon. Pew pewWith a name like Lash Blast I was expecting to get some serious volume from this mascara, but that isn't the case. I don't know if its the scrawny brush or the actual mascara formulation itself, but aside from making them stand out more by darkening them, my lashes don't actually look all that different with this stuff on them- they certainly don't look any longer, and appear only slightly fuller than when bare. Compared to my longtime favourite drugstore mascara (Loreal's Voluminous), this brush is long and thin with short, sparse, bristles. It seems to (perhaps) allow for a more precise application, but even after a couple of coats of this product I still don't get that much volume, which is what I want most from any mascara. As far as wearability goes, this is on par with most products I have tried. It doesn't really feel, or wear, any better or worse, IMO....If subtle definition is all you are after then this may be the right masacra for you, but as I prefer more dramatic results, I won't be purchasing this product again.
