Covergirl Bombshell Volume Mascara Review

There have been quite a few double-ended mascaras at the drugstore in recent years, but this is the first one from Covergirl. The idea behind this one is that the first step gives volume, while the second coat intensifies (not sure if that means more volume, length, or both), and also seals it in for an all day finish.

The wand on this one is very thick, probably the fattest mascara tube I've ever owned!  The two brushes are quite different:

Step one is a plastic club-like brush with short bristles, similar to the other Lashblast formulas

Step 2 is more of a traditional mascara brush, softer with longer bristles.

For me, the formula is perfect, not too wet or too dry and not clumpy at all. I found this very easy to apply and build multiple coats.  My lashes stayed soft and didn't get crunchy at all, even after several coats. It also didn't smudge or flake, which is a huge plus!

So here's my result. 

 Before:

I thought the first coat did a decent job on its own, but I was wowed after the second coat!  My lashes looked like falsies and my eyes looked bigger and more open.  This is my favorite drugstore mascara up there with Jordana Best Lash Extreme and Revlon's PhotoReady.

I'll add this to the Wall of Mascara so you can see how it stacks up against others I've tried.

What do you think?  Are you a LashBlast fan, or do they not work for you?
