WHOO HOO MY VERY FIRST REVIEW!!!!

Hola beautiful people oh how I have missed you. You've gotten bits and pieces of me but not as much as you used to. So I guess its no secert anymore but I am now working, I wish it was some exciting news but there has been MANY problems with this new job. Either way I am blessed to be working. I'll talk more about the new job at a later date. Anyways this AWESOME post is my very first PRODUCT REVIEW. I am so happy because I have always wanted to do this and I am ecstatic that I finally am. So lets take an easy, breezy, beautiful RIDE....

So if you haven't guessed by now I will be reviewing the new Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara. When I saw the commercial I was so excited to try this product, and I immediately went to my local Walmart to pick it up. Upon arriving to Walmart I went to the mascara section and was stopped dead in my tracks. The price for the mascara took me by surprise, it was nearly $7 dollars. I didn't know how I felt about spending that much money for a mascara  especially since my Falsies one I use faithfully is only like $5 bucks. After seeing the price I decided against buying it and I moved on. *sigh* I ended up checking out a few more stores and the prices there were astronomical for a tube of mascara. 

It wasn't until a friend of mine posted on FB that she really liked it & showed the picture of it, that I decided to splurge on the mascara. She even paid more than I was about to so I said hey why not, and this'll give me a review to do :)

So here goes, the mascara comes in a clear package like all CoverGirl mascara, upon first glance it reminded me of the orange bulky mascara by Covergirl I used to use back in the day before I discovered the wonderful beauty of Falsies. The bright green tube is very appealing to me. It seems bright, fun and playful. For me it really made me want to try it, so great job on the packaging Covergirl. 


Next is part of my face without any makeup, just waking up no mascara. Just fresh lashes. Sorry about the mug shot LOL. 


Now, I always do my makeup when I am at my desk at work. I have no mirror by the way I either use my phone or my tablet as my "mirror" I keep forgetting to buy a mirror but I am so good at putting on make-up it doesn't bother me lol. I can do it in the car when people are driving, hitting bumps and all....I guess its a talent. Nevertheless I pulled the mascara out of the package, opened it up and was ready to use it. 


This picture is of some of the product on the brush, what I REALLY liked is that unlike my Falsies mascara there is not a lot of product that comes out when you dip the brush in. I didn't have slide the brush across the top of the bottle to remove the excess mascara from the brush, it put just the right amount of product on the brush every time. 

Here are a couple of pictures of the product on my lashes, I noticed a lot LESS clumping for sure, I didn't at first feel like it gave me length to my lashes like my Falsies do but after using it again today I feel that it does. I feel like there isn't a lot of flaking and clumping on my eye lashes, and when I touch them they still feel like my eye lashes verses my eye lashes with mascara on them. Don't get me wrong you can totally feel I have mascara on but there is a difference between this and my Falsies. 



Here is a pic of the finish look.


And here is a picture of an end of the day look to show you that my eyes still look great :)




Overall, I tried this product for two days and I will continue using it the rest of the week to get a thorough try but for now I really liked the new Covergirl Clump Crusher. I believe it did exactly what it said it would do. I noticed a lot less clumping and flaking, I loved that it uses less product so for me that's a little more bang for your buck. A little goes a long way which means I should get a longer use out of it. Now, don't get me wrong I still love my Falsies but I do think this one will be a staple in my make-up bag as well. Maybe this for my everyday wear and my Falsies for a girls night out event. If I have anything else to add I will do a follow up post but I think I am satisfied. 

A- Covergirl

So tell me what's your favorite mascara? Have you tried Falsies or the new Covergirl? What are your thoughts?

Hope you enjoyed my first review and stay tuned for many more!!

  4. I will put it on my list of mascara to try (if I ever get through the ones I have on deck). The one I'm using right now from Benefit costs $23 (I got a Birchbox sample), so this could be a good affordable alternative.

  6. Thanks for this review. I don't wear makeup much, mostly just eyeshadow if the occasion requires it LOL! I've never really been into mascara and I think it's cause of the clumpiness & the price. This review kinda helps me though cause even though it's $7, it looks great. :] Thanks a bunch.
