The Beauty Closet: CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe Mascara

Since I just blogged about CoverGirl LashBlast Length, I figured I'd share my thoughts on CoverGirl LashBlast Luxe right quick.

Basically my review of CoverGirl LashBlast applies for LashBlast Luxe. I said, "The first time, I had to learn how to work the brush. It was sort of difficult to reach the tiny inner lashes as well as the lashes in the outer corners of my eyes. Don't get me started on applying mascara on my bottom lashes - I recommend that you have several Q-Tips dipped in makeup remover on hand when applying this mascara unless you can manage not to get the product on your lids or under eye area."

Well, since you have to apply several coats of LashBlast Luxe for the glitter to show up, it's that much more important to have eye makeup remover and Q-tips handy, unless you don't mind the gathering of sparkling fall-out that's sure to gather underneath your eyes and on your cheeks. I use my Clean and Clear Soothing Eye Makeup Remover (making sure I shook it well beforehand) and a couple of Q-Tips from my Vanity Pack (in draft). However, I think it would be nice to have a Myrabelle Mascara Shield. Sometimes, my eyes twitch (especially when I try to tightline) or my hand is a bit shaky, so I rather invest in this yield to save time and effort trying to remove smudges of mascara and eyeliner on my upper lids and on my waterline.

Here's the brush for Black Cabernet:

As you can see, Black Cabernet looks more like a metallic, plum shade with red flecks. If you look closely, you can see the tiny bit of red at the tips of my lashes.

This is Black Platinum. It's not as black as I would like but the silver flecks are a nice touch!


Afterwards, it seemed like my lashes were encrusted with finely milled Swarovski crystals. As for application, I shared that I "just used my brush one way" when I used CoverGirl LashBlast. With this one, I applied the mascara vertically and horizontally, working each lash to give me the length and thickness that I craved. Then I made sure to hit the very tips of my lashes so that they were coated with LashBlast Luxe sparkling formula. I also wanted to give the optical illusion that my lashes were extending past their usual length.
