Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

Hello everyone! I have a mascara review for you all today and it's on the famous Cover Girl Lash Blast Volume Mascara. This mascara has been raved by many makeup gurus on YT for a long time so I have to have it to see for myself! 





I want to start with the packaging first because this is by far the best packaged mascara that I have ever used. The tube is made of high quality plastic which closes really tightly so it prevents the product from drying. I appreciate that it has a separate cap to protect the product from drying out while on display. This also allows you to see the brush through the pack. I think that's really nice and thoughtful.  



love the orange packaging and brush! :D

The brush is fat but has soft and short bristles. Normally I don't like fat brushes but lash blast doesn't make it hard for me to apply the product. So far I haven't poked my eyes yet :D. It separates my lashes well and doesn't clump at all! The product isn't runny or too thick that I can put on 5 layers without having to worry about clumping. This mascara makes me look like i have natural full lashes. The shade I have is in black and this is non-waterproof but it can hold a curl just fine. This washes off easy but doesn't smudge! It does't have a strong odor and it doesn't sting my eyes. I have been using this for a week now and I haven't experienced any irritation.

I love mascara a lot because it makes a huge difference on the overall look. Mascara brightens the eyes and make you look more awake. The eye makeup is not complete without this product and I cannot imagine my routine without it. It's a must have product for me that's why I always try different brands and different kinds. To date this is the best mascara I have tried and reach for more often. It doesn't clump, makes my lashes look naturally fuller, and stays on until you wash it off. I couldn't ask for more! :D

My verdict: 5 STARS!!!

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Swatches and Review

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in Aqua Paradise 690

Good day to all! I have another product review on Cover Girl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Shadow Aqua Paradise 690. It's a very pretty and fun shimmer aqua shadow. It comes in a sturdy plastic packaging, with 2.5 grams of product, and a smooth applicator that works great in packing the shadow on the lids.

I love how vibrant and intense the color is. This isn't a very easy shade to pull off for everyday use but you can definitely work it alone or with other shades. When I swatched it the color picked up nicely and I didn't use too much product. I even poured water over it and it's still showing pretty well. I love the staying power and the pigmentation of this shadow. If you want it to look bolder and stay a lot longer you are welcome to use a primer. It is very easy to blend and build for a more intense effect. It has just enough shimmer to make it look pretty on the lids. The shadow is very fine and is pressed well so fall out is not an issue. 

I'll post some pictures soon of me using this shadow. In the mean time check out the swatches below on different lighting.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers has a lot of colors to choose from. In the US this is considered as a drugstore product but not in the country because it's a little bit pricey. However, I think it's still worth the price because this is a good quality shadow. It's longer staying, pigmented, vibrant color, and looks really good on the lids. You can't go wrong with this eyeshadow at all. I give this product 4.5 STARS and I will definitely buy this again. Hope this helps! More review coming soon so please stay tuned. You all have a good one! :)

Berry Chocolate Romantic Look


Here's the look I created using these LA Colors Flip Top Eyeshadow and is great for Valentine's Day. Hope you like them! :D




Products Used

Eyes

LA Colors Flip Top Eyeshadow in PE210 Pink Champagne, PE211 Berry, and PE225 Chocolate
CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Mauveberry
Elf Cream Eyeliner in Coffee
L'oreal Volume Shocking Waterproof Mascara in Black
Ever Bilena Advanced Eyeshadow in Auburn Glaze

Lips

Cover Girl Wet Slicks Crystals in Fire Fly
Avon 24k Gold Lipstick in Golden Peach
L'oreal Endless Kissable Lip Color in Finest Wine #710

Face

Tony Moly BB Cream
Avon Ideal Shade Concealer Stick in Medium
Revlon New Complexion Loose Face Powder # 02
ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Sun Kissed
Maybelline New York Blush in Dusty Rose







Here are the steps to achieve this look:

1.) Prep your face with moisturizer
2.) Apply enough amount of BB Cream all over the face and lids to serve as a base 
3.) Cover blemishes with concealer
4.) Brush loose powder lightly over the face to set the bb cream and concealer
5.) Apply CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Mauveberry lightly to the brow bone as the highlight color and blend it to the crease area. 
6.) Place LA Colors Pink Champagne on the inner half of the lid 
7.) Apply Berry on the outer half of the lid and bring it up to the crease
8.) Apply Chocolate on the outer v or outer corner blending it to the crease and blend with Berry to give the eyes more definition.
9.) Line upper lash line using the cream eyeliner as well as the lower water line to give is a more defined shape
10.) Apply Chocolate shadow over your lower lash line
11.) Define your eyebrows using your favorite eyeshadow or eyebrow makeup/pencil. This time I used Ever Bilena eyeshadow as it matches the color of my hair. I just tried it and I am liking the pigmentation on my brows.
12.) Curl your lashes and apply mascara on your upper and lower lashes
13.) Contour cheeks with Elf bronzing powder
14.) Lightly brush the remaining bronzing powder to the temples, forehead down, jaw bone, jaw line, and  chin to give the face an even healthy glow
15.) Apply lipstick/lip gloss over the lips. 



Here's the completed look. Since the eyes are very dramatic I used a nude lipstick but it's definitely convertible. I changed it up using a darker lipstick to make it more romantic and bold, and lip gloss on the last image to make it look sultry but not too strong.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Haul, Swatches, and Review



I recently got a few Cover Girl Eye Enhancers and I am very happy with the shades I got because some of these I can wear alone. I can also use it together for a smokey eye look or even match it with other shadows I have. It comes in a 2.5 grams with its own applicator.

I love these shadows because they are very pigmented. A little goes a long way and they are very much blendable and buildable if you want the color to pick up more.The product is fine and very soft however since they are soft you have to be a little careful with fallouts. The staying power of these shadows are pretty good especially if you use a primer or a base shadow.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancer Shimmering Onyx # 440

Shimmering Onyx is a pretty black shadow with sparkles and is good as an outer v or outer corner color. It can also be used on the lash line instead of an eyeliner for a more subtle look. I have used this for a smokey look and they are great!

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Blue Smoke # 595

Blue Smoke is a light blue pearl shadow that is perfect to wear alone or matched with other shades for a smokey look.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Mauveberry # 510

Mauveberry is a pretty matte shadow great for brow bone color. It's a little light to be worn alone but works well when matched with other shades.

Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Violet Mist # 555

Violet Mist is going to be my favorite inner eye shadow because it has a great amount of pearls that is perfect as highlights. It can also be used to lightly highlight the brows or the inner corner of the eyes.
