Katy Kat Collection from Covergirl ~ Mascara


I received a Covergirl matte lipstick and mascara from the new Katy Kat Collection to test from BzzAgent.

You can find the review for the lipstick here.  The mascara I received was in the Very Black colour.





The Facts:

  • The 360° Sculpting Brush sweeps lashes up and out
  • They don’t flake, smear or smudge
  • Perry Blue delivers 10X Volume + Fullness (plus, it’s the first-ever electric blue mascara by COVERGIRL!)
  • Very Black, Black and Waterproof Black deliver 10X Volume + Darkness
  • Each retails for $10.99 at drugstores

    My Thoughts:
    I found this mascara has a bit of a learning curve to it.  The brush is different than other brushes I have tried.  The bristles spiral around the wand and I find that it picks up too much mascara each and every time.  If I were to apply directly from the wand without wiping off the excess mascara, I would have very wet, clumpy looking lashes.  So I have learned to wipe the excess mascara off before applying.  After doing so, I am quite pleased with the results.

    The mascara really does help to lengthen and add volume to my lashes.  It even holds a bit of a curl without using a lash curler.  I find it makes my eyes pop.  It does not smudge or flake during the day and washes off amazingly easy with soap and water.

    I am a fan of Covergirl mascaras but have to admit this is not one of my favourites just because of the brush and how it collects excess product.

    If you are interested in giving this mascara a try, here's a coupon for $1.00 off from SmartSource.


    I received this product free of charge for review purposes.

    Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara Review

     The Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara is a new product.  It is different in that a multi-layered, volume-fanning brush has been created to capture all of your lashes.  There are 6 different bristle lengths to this brush.  The "inner bristles reach to reveal layers of sensational lashes" while the "outer bristles unfold and comb through lashes for clump-free sensational eyes".  




    The tube is a little fatter than other mascaras I own which will take up more space for storage. When I saw the brush of this mascara I was a little apprehensive that it would do a good job.

    The brush is smaller and bristles shorter than what I am used to. However, after applying this mascara I am really impressed with the job it did! It got all my lashes and gave amazing length and volume to them. My lashes are even slightly curled and I won't need to use my eye lash curler!

    This formula does not smudge, flake or clump.  It was easy to work with and apply.  Overall, this is a mascara I am pleased to add to my collection and will reach for time and again.

    Covergirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara



    Covergirl has a number of LashBlast mascaras to enhance your lashes.  Thanks to BzzAgent I was provided with a free sample of the LashBlast Fusion mascara to test.



    The mascara comes in your standard tube and the brush is of average length.  The bristles of the brush are soft and rubber like.

    I was really impressed with this mascara.  It claims to add up to 10x the volume and length to your lashes and while I wouldn't say I got that much of an increase, it certainly did make a noticeable difference to my lashes.

    The mascara was easy to apply, didn't clump and did a great job of separating and coating each lash.  I have tried mascaras that are about five times the price of this mascara and the Covergirl LashBlast Fusion mascara performed just as well!

    This mascara washes off easily with soap and water or a makeup removing wipe.  The Covergirl LashBlast Fusion mascara is definitely one of my new go to mascaras.  I would recommend you give it a try today! 

    Have you tried any of Covergirl's LashBlast mascaras?  How did you like it? 


    Disclosure: I received a free Covergirl LashBlast Fusion mascara from BzzAgent to facilitate this review.
