Hey guys! So today I’m going to be doing a product review of my go-to mascara! The mascara I use is Covergirl LashBlast Volume Mascara. I have been using this mascara for a few years now and absolutely love it!

This mascara gives your lashes a bold, voluminous look! The formula is a volume-boosting hypoallergenic formula that comes with a patented brush. The pair combined works to max out each lash!

Although the formula has a waterproof version, I like to use the regular one. When I’ve used the waterproof in the past, I felt like my lashes didn’t look as full and turned out clumpy. The non-waterproof formula is good enough to last throughout the day as well so I didn’t feel the need to use it.

Steps to Apply: 

Step 1: Dip the brush into the mascara bottle. Try not to excessively pump as this causes issues with the dryness of the liquid.

Step 2: Apply a light coat to the top of both lash lines and focus on the outer lashes to give a fuller look. Coat brush again and re-apply.

Step 3: Lightly brush on the bottom lashes with the left over mascara left from each top lash line. This gives a more dramatic and voluminous addition to the overall look. Add a third light coat to make your lashes look especially long.

You can find this product at any local drug store including: CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart. With any store you choose, this product will be no more than $10. This affordable product usually lasts me at least a month and three months max.

This mascara comes in three different colors: brown, black, and grey. I like to use the black because I wear black eyeliner and it suits it well. You can choose based on whichever look you’re going for!

Good luck with your shopping! XO

I’ve always had a passion for makeup and find the art aspect of it to be extremely intriguing. The hardest part about makeup? How expensive it can be! I know from experience how hard it is not to splurge at Sephora! People often sought after popular name brands that makeup gurus typically use, but I’ve found that drugstore products do the same, and sometimes even do a better job. Lucky for those on a tight budget, I’ve found ways to master the expert makeup look that doesn’t involve spending tons of money!

I will be sharing reviews on drugstore products I’ve tested out over the years as well as tips and tricks on how to make your products last longer. The products I recommend will give you that glowing and flawless look without going over your budget! It’s a win-win! The reviews will include comparison between formulas as well as the outcomes of combinations of certain products. People always ask what brands I use and are surprised when I name drugstore products. My secret is, it’s more about the technique than the product itself. You’ll be surprised how much of a variety these stores carry! With an array of colors and formulas, you’ll be able to find products that perfectly fit your day-to-day look! Whether you’re going for the fresh-faced, fierce, or glamorous look, these products won’t disappoint!

My target audience will mainly focus on college students. Being a college student myself, I know how hard it is to juggle financial necessities, let alone extras, such as beauty products. My tips and tricks will not only help you find the perfect products for your skin type, but you will also have the tools to use these products to their full potential.

There are so many amazing products out there, and instead of going out searching, I will be saving you time and money by providing some insights.
