Product Review: Covergirl Bombshell Mascara

There are a million new products in the drugstore, and of course I want them all. yes, I may have a little bit of an obsession and the overflow of new product displays is not helping one bit. 

I had a very hard time deciding on which new products to buy first, but since I was in the market for a new mascara, I decided to skip repurchasing my everyday go to loyal Covergirl Clump Crusher and try out this new Covergirl Bombshell mascara and lets be honest the cute packaging and the word "Bombshell" alone had me sold. 

First off, Let me tell you a little bit about my lashes. I am extremely blessed to have long thick eyelashes. Most of the time any mascara will "do the job" however, I like to find products that will go above and beyond. 

Covergirl Claims:  " 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. "

Texture/Finish: I love the overall volume and length that the bombshell mascara provides, I feel like my lashes look extremely volumized and I couldn't ask for anymore length. I purchased the product in the color, very black and I feel that it is very pigmented. HOWEVER, I hate how my lashes feel after to product has dryed. It leaves my lashes feeling hard, flakey, and brittle. 

Lasting Power: The product lasts for at least 8+ hours with the occasional flakes. It honestly lasts so long that I find myself having the hardest time trying to remove the mascara even with the best of eye makeup removers.

Scent: no strong oder, just the typical mascara scent. does mascara even smell?

Packaging: I personally love the packaging of the product. The product has a basic technique of applying two different types of mascara combined in one product which is convenient. I also feel with how wide the tube is that there is good amounts of mascara in each separate container. 

Price & Availability: about $9.oo (I purchased mine from my local Walgreens). I have seen this product at Wal*mart, Target, Cvs, etc. So it is not hard to get your hands on it.

Pros:

• Appearance of my lashes.
• Lives up to the Claims.
• Convenience: combines the technique of two different mascara in one product
• Packaging
• Lasting power
• Availability in the drugstore.
• Very pigmented 

Cons:

• Damages my lashes.
• Difficulty in removing the product.
• Occasional flakes

Love it or Leave it? : I personally do not LOVE this product, however I do LIKE it. It will not be a daily mascara for me because of how the product longterm would damage my lashes. I will keep this one in the drawer for special events or when I need long hour lasting hold. If Covergirl ever makes this with a new gentler formula, I will be the first in line to purchase!
