We’re dying to know if you’ve tried this new Givenchy Phenomen’Eyes Mascara . A Sephora exclusive, this new space-age looking wand is supposed to curl and separate every lash because the round sphere at the tip of the precision wand can reach every lash and adapt to all eye shapes.
Have you tried it?
If not, are you going to shell out the $27 to give it a whirl?
Wow. I can’t believe it’s been so long.
How’ve you been?!
I am feeling fierce these days. Here’s why:
CoverGirl’s newest mascara is rocking my world. I usually don’t try mascaras that aren’t waterproof because—like my "the dog ate my homework" excuses—they never seem to work.
Funny thing about LashBlast is that I actually thought it was waterproof.
A few weeks ago, I spotted the orange tube in my mom’s Makeup Bag which set off a few sirens in my head because 1) I’d seen the Drew Barrymore LashBlast commercials and was dying to try it, and 2) when my mom doesn’t immediately tell me about a new beauty product she’s trying it means only one thing: SHE’S HIDING IT FROM ME!
Of course, I had to assume the LashBlast was waterproof because my mother would have no need to hide it if it wasn’t. (Just so you know, she hides her spearmint Orbit from us, too!)
The brush on this mascara is the chubbiest ever, with TONS of teensy little plastic bristles. At first glance I thought I would hate it, but I soooo do not. Somehow, this chubby orange mascara makes my lashes thicker and darker and longer than any other mascara I’ve used.
Which is why I was shocked to find out the tube we have isn’t waterproof— it doesn’t smudge or smear or flake AT ALL. For someone who wears contacts, this is huge.
The thing that sucks is that I can’t buy it anywhere—it’s completely sold out of every drugstore near my house.
This means that between me, my mom and my sister (it didn’t take Bailey long to catch on) we play musical chairs with the LashBlast every morning. Bailey even yelled at me this morning for applying an extra coat that she felt I wasn’t entitled to. The nerve!
If you find one of these chubby orange tubes in the CoverGirl aisle of your local drugstore, do yourself a favor and pick one (or twenty seven) up. You won’t regret it.
