  Hi Jaime! Thanks so much for the comment!

  When you end up trying this, be sure to stop back and let us know what you think!

  [Updated 01/24/08] - Hi Rita! When you try out this mascara, I’d love to hear what you think of it as well. Thanks for commenting!

  i love this mascara- but the waterproof is IMPOSSIBLE to get off! any tips?

• 7 Melissa // Jan 23, 2008 at 4:43 pm

  I LOVE this mascara. You definitely have to go on the light side the first swipe, but it definitely stays put all day (even through running!).

  As for the person that couldn’t wash it off, most of mine comes off w/the Olay wash I use at night, and the rest comes off the next morning.

• 8 Michelle // Jan 23, 2008 at 9:12 pm

  it’s a good mascara (the waterproof one) tougher to get off unless you rinse it with water. you just need maybe 2 swipess to make it look good :) + it stays on long even the next morning its still there!

  Hi eeels, Melissa, and Michelle! Thanks so much for your comments. And I’m glad you’ve found a mascara that you love!

  The more I use Lash Blast (Waterproof), the more I feel like Covergirl hit a home run on this one.

  Melissa and Michelle, thanks so much for your tips on removing this mascara! I would go further and recommend that you fully remove all mascara before going to sleep!

  eeels, you need a good waterproof-makeup remover like Lancome Bifacil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover ($26, Sephora) or Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover (about $7 from drugstores, Target).

  Just moisten a cotton ball with eye makeup remover and hold it against your lashes for about 10 seconds. This will help loosen up the mascara, so that it will be easier to remove.

  Next, gently smooth the cottonball down the length of your lashes. You may need to use a few more fresh cottonballs until you’ve removed all traces of mascara.

  Most importantly, be gentle! You don’t want to pull out any of those precious lashes ; )

  Hope that helps!

  Hi, I’m wondering if you’ve tried Cover Girl’s Volume Exact mascara? If so, how did it compare to Lash Blast? I’ve heard some pretty fantastic reviews of both, but no comparisons. :)

• 11 Jazmin // Jan 25, 2008 at 1:57 pm

  Hi Niki! I tried (non-waterproof) Volume Exact awhile ago and I remember not being as impressed with it as I am with Lash Blast.

  I’ll need to dig out the Volume Exact and try it again, so I’ll get back to you on that one!

  Thanks so much for the question! I encourage any of our fellow Makeup Moxies who’ve tried both products to chime in with their opinions!

• 13 Missi // Jan 29, 2008 at 1:42 pm

  I don’t kno if I am the only one but I actually really did not like this mascara! It is not nearly as thick and lengthening as I expected. The black did stay true for the whole day but that was not the only thing I was looking for. I also really did not like the rubber brush. Also My eyes were quite irritated after using it. Im glad it has worked for others though! I don’t know why I am not as pleased. Oh well.

• 14 Jazmin // Jan 29, 2008 at 1:57 pm

  Hi Missi,

  Thanks for the comment! Sorry to hear that you didn’t have a very good experience with this mascara. I can also understand how the big brush can feel kind of awkward. What’s your fave mascara?

• 16 cathy // Feb 1, 2008 at 11:23 am

  I liked the mascara but found it impossible to get off. I used make-up removing cloths and lotions but still could not remove it. I have stopped using the product.

• 17 Lindy // Feb 3, 2008 at 8:24 pm

  I have to say I love the new Cover girl waterproof lash blast mascara. Goes on quickly, no clumps, great coverage and really makes your lashes long and thick. I will definately buy this again.

  p.s.
  Love the commerial with Drew Barrymore she looks hot !!

• 18 Jazmin // Feb 4, 2008 at 2:57 pm

  Hi cathy,

  I left a comment for you on the other post about this mascara, but basically what I said was that you might want to try a better makeup remover before you give up on this mascara. I’ve been able to remove it easily with both Lancome Bifacil makeup remover as well as Almay waterproof eye makeup remover. I’m also a fan of Neutrogena Oil-Free makeup remover. Hope that helps!

  Hi Lindy, thanks so much for sharing your opinion of this mascara! I’m glad that you found a mascara you love…and, yes, I agree that Drew looks totally fabu in the commercial : )

• 19 Brandi // Feb 12, 2008 at 8:14 am

  I love the regular lash blast mascara! I will no longer have to pay $20 for the Badgal Badlash mascara! I put on a coat or two, let it dry and put on another and wow! they are thick and a quite a bit longer. I didn’t have flaking or smearing and since it was not waterproof, it comes off easily (I hate removing waterproof). I have even left it on overnight and put more on the next day on top of it and it brought them right back out (cause the length had disappered overnight). I didn’t notice any other problems like straightening or irritation. It didn’t seem to be too much on the brush either. I do have to tilt the applicator and get off a little on the very end of the brush, but that was all. So again, I love it!

• 20 Jazmin // Feb 12, 2008 at 1:42 pm

  Hi Brandi! Thanks so much for sharing your opinion of this mascara…I’m so glad you found something you love!

  Even if they were the same price, I’d still take this mascara over Badgal any day ; )

  While I still prefer the waterproof Lash Blast over the original formula, I’ll definitely give the original formula credit for being one of the better non-waterproof volumizing mascaras out there ; )

• 21 Naly // Feb 14, 2008 at 2:11 pm

  I would like to know which of 3 mascaras you would recommend most.

  Thanks in advance!

• 22 NumberSurfer // Feb 20, 2008 at 11:00 pm

  I love my Waterproof Lash Blast. I have to wear water proof or highly water resistant mascara because my eyes water all the time. Especially during the Winter months. I definitely have to use my lash comb and but 2 sometimes 3 coats on. It wears pretty well for me, but at after about 8 to 10 hours I do get some flaking, which might be a problem for contact wearers. The flakes easily wipe away, but my eyes are sensitive so if anything gets in my eye it feels irritated for the rest of the day. Over all its a great dark mascara that holds the curl and I’ve even slept in in a few times and it looks great in the morning with a few minor touch ups.

• 23 NumberSurfer // Feb 20, 2008 at 11:15 pm

  My favorite waterproof mascara remover is called i.d. bareEyes by Bare Escentuals. It’s great because it removes the mascara without leaving a greasy residue cuz there is no oil in it. I use cotton squares and put about six drops of the solution on it and hold it against my eye for 10 sec. or so and then gently start downward strokes until all the mascara is gone. Hope that helps!

• 24 Jazmin // Feb 21, 2008 at 7:26 am

  Hi Naly!

  Thanks for your question! But it’s a tough one because I have different favorites based on different needs. But if I had to have only 3 mascaras in my makeup bag, they would be (in no particular order ; ):

  1. Maybelline Waterproof Lash Stylist for a no-smudge, thick-lash look
  2. Maybelline Waterproof Lash Discovery for a more natural look (which can be combined with #1 to accomplish my very favorite dramatic eyelash look)

  3. Too Faced Lash Injection for a thickening non-waterproof mascara. This mascara narrowly beats out Blinc Kiss Me on a matter of personal taste (I prefer more of a thickening mascara than a lengthening one…though blinc is killer when it comes to being smudgeproof ; )

  Hi NumberSurfer! Thanks so much for sharing your opinion of this mascara…and for sharing your fave makeup remover ; )

• 25 NumberSurfer // Feb 22, 2008 at 9:41 pm

  Hi again,
  I just wanted to reiterate my LOVE of my waterproof (WP) LASH BLAST! I have been trying different mascaras forever and have bought probably 15 different mascaras in the last 2 to 3 months. After I bought my WP LASH BLAST I bought Two Faced Lash Injection Mascara too. So, yesterday I wore my Lash Injection and today I wore WP LASH BLAST again. All I can say is that it reconfirmed for me that WP LASH BLAST is definitely the mascara for me. My lashes are long enough, but fine, like the rest of my hair, so the curl falls out easily, but I do not have the problem with WP LASH BLAST! The curl lasts all day…Plus the no clumping problem makes my eyes look much prettier…Thank you CoverGirl you nailed this one!!! A picture of my lashes is on my MySpace page if you want to see just how long and lovely WP LASH BLAST makes them.

• 26 Jazmin // Feb 25, 2008 at 8:42 am

  lol, NumberSurfer…I think you deserve the award for being Lash Blast’s #1 Fan ; )

  And I agree that the waterproof lash blast holds curl better than Lash Injection (though I think Lash Injection holds curl slightly better than the non-waterproof Lash Blast ; )

• 27 You've got to be kidding me // Mar 22, 2008 at 9:37 pm

  I think the most importanttol in my makeup bag is my mascara..
  So as I am on the ever lasting hunt to find the BEST mascara… I must say ladies…I am truly dissappointed in Lash Blast.

  It hasn’t shown me anything new than the other lines of mascara out there.

  In fact save yourself a few dollars and try N.Y.C.s waterproof mascara… I have gotten the same results, if not better, and save myself money at the same time.

• 28 Jazmin // Mar 26, 2008 at 12:32 pm

  Interesting…I’ll have to give that NYC mascara a try.

• 29 Voltarsi // Mar 31, 2008 at 5:42 pm

  Duped. Again. I bought into the hype of yet another “innovative” lash brush — this product is horrible. The thick rubber brush is cumbersome, unyielding and holds way too much product. It deposited more mascara on my eyelids than my lashes. And forget about fine bottom lashes — I doubt a contortionist could wield this brush effectively. Don’t waste your money.

• 30 poodlefan // Apr 12, 2008 at 4:48 am

  I have to differ from the other reviewers here. I am a mascara junkie and try everything waterproof. I found this to be very wet and blobby and had to use a comb to unstick my lshes. Nice effect but very very messy to put on. Use this before you ut onany other makeup cuz you will have to clean up your lids.

• 31 Jazmin // Apr 14, 2008 at 8:12 am

  Hi Voltarsi and poodlefan, thanks for sharing your opinions of this mascara!

  Have you tried wiping off excess mascara (particularly from the very end of the brush) on a tissue?

  I find that that’s the main place that seems to carry too much mascara (and I still don’t know why they couldn’t have added a tapered tip to the brush).

• 32 Janna // Apr 17, 2008 at 11:42 pm

  I have a question. Whats the best mascara for lengthening? I have reasonably thick lashes but short. Booo! Of course my young son has horribly long lashes I wish I could steal from him. I’ve used tons of different mascaras and they always thicken them which is fine but Id like some length.
  Thanks in advance!

• 33 Jazmin // Apr 18, 2008 at 7:41 am

  Hi there, Janna! LOL, I totally know what you mean about little boys (and worse yet, grown men!) who have enviably long lashes ; )

  Since you said that you’ve already tried a number of mascaras and you weren’t satisfied with their ability to lengthen your lashes, you might want to consider a different alternative.

  Have you ever tried a fiber-based lash primer? A popular one is Lancome’s Cils Booster Mascara Base. And there’s also Fast Lash, which you can find at drugstores or at Ulta.

  The fibers in the primer work like little extensions for your lashes. To use the primer, you first apply a light coat of mascara and then apply the lash primer to the tips of your lashes (you’ll see the little white fibers accumulating at the ends of your lashes). You’d then follow up with another coat of mascara and voila! Longer lashes : )

  If you don’t want to deal with a lash primer (it can take some practice to learn how to apply it properly), you can also try out a fiber-based mascara like Imju Fiberwig or Blinc Kiss Me. To build extra length, you’d apply a coat of the mascara (as you would normally), but then finish off by brushing extra mascara on the very tips of your lashes. By doing this, you’re basically building up the fibers so that they create an “extension” effect and make your lashes look longer (similar to the effect created by the primer that I described above).

  Thanks for the question. I hope that helps!

  NYC waterproof mascara is the best of any I’ve tried, no matter the price.

• 37 Jazmin // Apr 22, 2008 at 4:36 pm

  Hi Cindy, thanks for the comment!

  Someone else recently mentioned how much they love NYC mascara…it’s definitely on my list of things to try!

• 38 erika // Apr 26, 2008 at 2:55 pm

  i really like this mascara.. but i found i liked it even better once the actual mascara was gone. now i use the brush to comb out my lashes after i apply my other coats of mascara (i use about 3 different types, i am the tammy faye baker kind of mascara junkie). the brush gives great lift and a feathery look!
  so save the brush ladies it is an awesome comb!

  and keep up all the awesome review makeup moxies!

• 39 Jazmin // Apr 28, 2008 at 10:31 am

  LOL, a “tammy faye baker of mascara junkie”! Darling, I think if there’s a single kind of mascara junkie to be, that one’s it! Too funny!

  And thanks for the fab tip…I’ll be sure to hang on to those Lash Blast brushes when I’m done with the mascara ; )

• 40 Jazmin // Apr 28, 2008 at 10:33 am

  And also, Erika, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the reviews! Thank you for all your comments. It’s great having you here ; )
