Any CoverGirl LashBlast fans out there?

If so you’ll be excited to hear that a new LashBlast mascara, called 24HR, is set to hit stores in the Spring of 2012.

More info:

Bold, intense volume meets the biggest brush Ever from Covergirl, for a blast of lush, volumized lashes that last up to 24 Hours! LashBlast 24HR gives you bold, look at me lashes that will get you noticed around the clock!

Available in stores Spring 2012.

Will you be trying out this mascara?

Hello girls. How are you? Hope you’re having a great Monday.

I wanted to start the week off with a review of a new product I’ve been using for close to a month now, CoverGirl’s New LashBlast Fusion Mascara.

Lashblast Fusion is said to combine the best of both worlds – giving you both volume and length. So does it work?

Not really. It adds some volume, but no length. It’s also hard to remove and tends to get clumpier easier than the original.

Overall, My final verdict is : I like it, but I don’t love it. This mascara will never become a holy grail for me like the original lash blast has. Pretty disappointing. I give it a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Have you tried this mascara yet? What are your thoughts?

Retails for: $8.99 at Target

As you all know I’m a huge fan of Cover Girl Lash Blast mascara. So imagine my excitement when I ran across Lash Blast Luxe while at CVS this weekend. Luxe is a new mascara from Cover Girl that offers a touch of shimmer.

I picked up Black Platinum which is black with silver sparkles and after wearing it for the past few days I’m ready to give you my review.

The Pros:

• Pink Tube instead of Orange
• Gives amazing length and volume
• Offers a hint of sparkle/shimmer
• Removes easily with soap and water
• Hypoallergenic & suitable for contact lens wearers

The Cons:

• I wish it offered more sparkle because you can barely tell it’s there at all

Verdict:

If you loved the old Lash Blast then you’ll love this one even more. I just wish the sparkles were more noticeable. I give this one 5 out of 5 stars.

Available at select retailers until February. You can find it online at drugstore.com.

Retails for:$7.99

The always gorgeous Rihanna recently talked to Glamour magazine about makeup.

“Whether it’s different lipstick or eyeshadow, my makeup artist and I play around and have fun. Makeup is a form of creativity”.

I couldn’t agree with you more Rihanna.

So what does she keep in her makeup bag?

• Ojon Conditioning Paste
• FHI Heat Platform SE Styling Iron
• Bliss Oxygen Mask
• Cover Girl True Shine Lip Color in Watermelon Shine

I was flipping through my husbands Consumer Reports magazine today when I came across a review on mascaras. They asked a panel of 34 staffers to use 16 washable black mascaras for six weeks. They then rated each on overall performance, ease of application, brush, look on lashes, durability, and ease of removal.

The Winner was Lancome Definicils. But they found several other very good mascaras which can be found at the drugstore: Max Factor Lash Perfection Volume Couture, Maybelline Define A Lash Volume, Cover Girl Volume Exact, and Loreal Telescopic Clean Defintion and Lengthening.

I personally have never been a fan of Definicils. I was also disappointed to see two of my favorites didn’t make the list: CoverGirl Lash Blast and Maybelline The Colassal. What are your thoughts on the list? What is your favorite mascara?

Cosmopolitan asked 100 of the sexiest stars to pick their all-time favorite beauty products for their October issue. It’s an interesting read so make sure you pick up a copy, but in the meantime we’ve listed a few below.

Christina Applegate and Kimora Lee Simmons – Creme de La Mer

Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Carmen Electra – Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Skin Protectant

Sophia Bush – Benefit Badgal Mascara

Jennie Garth and Pink – Rosebud Salve

Vanessa Minnillo – Estee Lauder Hydra Bright Skin Tone Perfecting Moisturizer

Charlize Theron – Dior Snow Pure White Base

Niki Taylor – Sensai Silky Purifying Creamy Soap

Liv Tyler – Astara Blue Flame Purification Mask

What is your favorite beauty product? Please share it with us. If I had to choose only one item it would probably have to be my Bare Escentuals foundation, because I use it everyday. If I could choose two favorites I would have to include Maybelline Colassal Mascara.

Cover Girl Wet Slicks Amaze Mint gloss is AMAZING! I have to admit I only picked this up because it was free, but boy am I glad I did.

Pros:

• Mint Flavor which leaves you feeling fresh
• Packaging. I love lip glosses with a wand.
• Non sticky texture.
• 13 great shades(several of which are formulated to make your teeth appear whiter.)
• Price

Cons:

• The only con I could find with this gloss is that it doesn’t have a whole lot of staying power. It’s OK though, because of the fresh mint feeling it gives you I find myself wanting to reapply it over and over.

Overall, I give this gloss 2 thumbs up. I like it so much I’ll even go as far as to say this is my favorite drugstore gloss at the moment! Hurry to your local CVS and check it out for free. Don’t live near a CVS? It’s OK you can find it elsewhere for around $5.99.

Hello Ladies. Hope everyone’s having a great weekend so far. I just wanted to give you a heads up on a great deal going on at CVS this week. Cover Girl Wet Slicks Amaze Mint lipgloss is on sale for $5.99 and receive $5.99 in ECB’s (store credit) back. That makes it free to try, so if you’ve been wanting to purchase it anyway now’s the time to do so. I had a coupon for buy one Cover Girl lipgloss and get one free so I ended up with two for FREE !! I picked up the shades everything’s rosy and merry berry. I’ll be doing a review on it soon so be sure to look out for that. Have you tried this product? What were your thoughts?
