Covergirl Lash Blast Rave (BOGO 50% off)

A rave about CG lash blast which I've been using for a while now. I thought I would hate it because of the plastic bristles. (I absolutely hateeeee plastic bristles. I prefer a nice, fat regular brush) With LB its actually not so bad and I'm able to coat all of my eyelashes evenly. LB is a volumizing mascara and it *really* does its job. My lashes look so full and thick that they look like they're falsies. Best part is that it doesn't smudge (and believe me, I've got oily skin) and lasts until you remove it. I've slept in this mascara with no problems. No hint of raccoon eyes at all. None. Nada. Zilch. It also washes off very easily. There's also a waterproof version which apparently works so well that it's hard to wash off. But regular Lash Blast is already fantastic, I doubt anyone would even need to use waterproof unless they wanted to swim or something. Honestly, after using this mascara for a while I think LB is my HG mascara.

Which leads me to.... stocking up on more LB before I'm even remotely close to being done with the one I already have. I couldn't help it. I happened to wander into a Rite-Aid today and discovered that they're doing a BOGO 50% off on all Covergirl merchandise. I ended up buying 2 more LB mascaras in Very Black and Black Brown.

I believe there's a sale on other brands too so if you're going to do a drugstore haul you should probably check out your nearest Rite-Aid (or their website). The sale ends this Friday 12/5/09.

Imju Fiberwig Mascara now at Sephora!

Sephora has recently starting selling Imju Fiberwig Mascara, a popular mascara from Japan. It's claims to give you the look of false lashes by coating your lashes in a "fiber film that is resistant to tears, sweat, and oil". Before we go on, I must say that Sephora is selling Fiberwig mascara at outrageous prices. Sephora is selling Fiberwig for $24 a tube, when in Japan it retails for only $12USD. I would recommend purchasing Fiberwig from your local Asian market or cosmetics store.

One of the best things about Fiberwig is that it's very easy to remove. The mascara comes off with warm water so you're never left with panda eyes the next day. So how well does the mascara perform?

Fiberwig lengthens very well but sadly does not provide very much volume. You don't end up with a "falsh lash" look, if that's what you're going for. It does stay on quite well as advertised and it does remove very easily.One thing I noticed with Fiberwig is that it doesn't hold a curl very well, my lashes end up straightening out.

Should you get it? If you want a mascara that stays on well and removes easily, this would be one to try. Personally, I find that Cover Girl Lash Blast performs much, much better. Definitely not worth it for $24, if you're getting from Sephora.
