New From CoverGirl: LashBlast Length

lastblastlength

It’s no secret that my favorite drugstore mascara is CoverGirl LashBlast. Now, there’s a new version of LashBlast coming to town: LASHBLAST LENGTH MASCARA!!

I’ve been testing a sample of this new formula and it really does lengthen lashes! As a contact lense-wearer I haven’t experienced any irritation or flaking from this formula that’s said to contain nylon.

I’m kind of disappointed that it doesn’t have my favorite chubby wand going on, but I suppose to achieve length instead of volume the slimmer wand is more appropriate.

LashBlast Length is not hitting stores until September, but a limited quantity will be unveiled for purchase next Monday, August 17th, online at COVERGIRL.com/LashBlastLength for just $7.49!

Be sure to get your tube while you can!

Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Mascara

bobbi-brown-perfectly-defined-mascara

Bobbi Brown introduced Perfectly Defined Mascara earlier this year and so far it’s received rave reviews. With an all-day wear formula that resists flaking and a unique multi-comb brush that grabs even the tiniest hairs, this mascara has quickly become a staple in makeup bags everywhere.

Makeup Bag intern Monica gave this new mascara a whirl and here’s what she says:

Right away, I knew Bobbi Brown Perfectly Defined Mascara was special. Why, might you ask? Well for starters, its brush. It’s smaller than most, which is extra helpful when you need to make every single lash count. The teeny-tiny brush allowed me to maneuver around my eye area and pump up each individual lash, which is key when you have so few! The formula wore all day with nary a flake in sight. Interestingly enough, my trusty Neutrogena eye makeup remover couldn’t remove this mascara, but removing it with a bit of hot water and a washcloth did the trick.

Lumene Blueberry Curl Giveaway!

lumene-blueberry-curl

Last week I tried Lumene Blueberry Curl mascara and was quite surprised that it actually gives my Asian eye lashes somewhat of a curl. Of course, it doesn’t replace my Shu Uemura eyelash curler, but when I’m in a hurry and need a quick fix, this is definitely my new go-to mascara.

The Lumene Blueberry Curl mascara contains Finnish blueberry seed oil to nourish the lashes while the exclusive flat brush with rounded sides lifts lashes up while shaping and curling.

This week, TWENTY lucky Makeup Bag readers will have an opportunity to win their very own tube of Lumene Blueberry Curl!

Leave a comment here and you’ll be automatically entered to win. You may enter as many times as you’d like, but the contest is only open to readers in the US and Canada. Sorry, international friends!

Winners will be randomly selected on Friday.

Good luck!

Lumene Blueberry Curl mascara is available at Ulta.com for $9.99.
