Covergirl Lash Blast Ultramarine Mascara Review

I have always been particular about mascara. My search for the perfect product led me to the COVERGIRL Lash Blast Cleantopia Mascara in Ultramarine Black. This $12 gem not only lifts my lashes but also brightens my eyes, making me ditch my usual eye cream. Let me tell you how.

Covergirl, Lash Blast Cleantopia Ultramarine Black Mascara — $12.00

• It’s unclear if the blue pigment is proven to make all eye colors look more awake (For reference, I have blue eyes) Wired brush may not be everyone’s preference

What is the COVERGIRL Lash Blast Cleantopia Ultramarine Mascara

COVERGIRL introduced the original Lash Blast Cleantopia Mascara earlier this year, and added this new take on the product in October. The only difference with the latest formula is its color, which studies claim to make your eyes appear brighter and more awake. As part of the COVERGIRL Clean line, Lash Blast Ultramarine is made from a 100 percent vegan formula. Its hero ingredients include aloe leaf extract, ceramides, and sustainably sourced rainforest maracuja oil, which work overtime to strengthen and condition lashes while the pigments deliver their brightening effects. Based on a clinical study conducted by the brand, the mascara volumizes lashes by more than 300 percent and is gentle enough for contact lens wearers or those with sensitive eyes.

My review

When I first opened the mascara, I was skeptical about the wired brush. Additionally, I was shocked that you could actually see the blue tint within the formula when looking at the wand. To give it a true test, I decided to test the COVERGIRL Lashblast Cleantopia Ultramarine Mascara on a freshly-washed face without any other makeup on—I wanted the mascara to speak for itself. After putting it on both eyes and comparing them to a mascara-free photo, it was clear that this mascara does exactly what it says it does. My eyes looked bigger and more awake, and it took some of the darkness away from my undereye circles. For a $12 drugstore mascara, this formula is pretty awesome. Plus, it washes off with ease and keeps lashes plump and voluminous all day long.
