Review: Covergirl Full Lash Bloom Mascara

Hi Everyone!

I recently have found my new all time favorite mascara and I need to share it with you. It is Covergirl's new Full Lash Bloom Mascara. If you have not tried this mascara I would highly, highly recommend that you do. I have tried tons of different mascaras high and low end and this is my favorite one that I have used. I am going to share a few pictures and go more in depth about it down below so keep on reading!

Let's Get Started!


Covergirl Mascaras are some of my favorite and I think that this one is by far one of their better ones. 


I am a big fan of the wand and how it applies the product onto my eyelashes. It keeps it from clumping, because I hate clumping, but this wand prevents that. 
I normally do two coats and that gives me a dark solid color. This product is build able so you are able to have a natural look as well as a dramatic look depending on what you are going for. 
I also believes that it lengthens my eyelashes and the picture below demonstrates that it really does.  


I personally do not find that it flakes for me which is a plus but it can be a little difficult to take off but that is my only complaint. Otherwise I think that it gives me the look that I want and works just as well as my previous favorite, Tarte's Light, Camera, Lashes.

Thank you so much for taking a look!

Maybelline the Rocket Volum' Mascara Review (Makeup Monday)

Hi Everyone!

Happy Monday! I hope the start of everyone's week is going well. I have done little to nothing today. I have not made a visible dent in my homework at all. Today I had class for an hour then came back and have been watching Modern family for three hours. Anyways today is makeup Monday and I am doing a review. I am doing a review on the rocket mascara. Mascara is a product that I love trying. I have horrible eyelashes and look funny, in my opinion, if I am not wearing mascara. Meaning I am on an endless endeavor to find an amazing mascara.

Let's Get Started!


I was really excited to try this mascara because I had heard so many good things about it. Sadly though I was a little bit disappointed. A few key things happened that I do not like in mascara. I can use this as a base coat but can not wear it by itself.

-
CLUMPING:
This mascara is the worst clumping mascara that I have ever gotten. Some people may like that because in turn you get a lot of mascara on your eyelashes. I on the other hand would rather apply a few layers of mascara and not clump then apply one layer to achieve what I want and have it clump.

I think that it may have to do with the wand.

 
As you can see the bristles are very close together and some are super short. There is just to much product on the wand for me.
 
+
VOLUME & LENGTH:
 
The volume payoff is not bad that is actually really good. That is due to the wand I am sure. I love to use this as a base coat because it gives off great volume and length. This is the first mascara that I have found that I can really see a difference in volume and length when looking in the mirror. So that is definitely a positive.
 
-
STICKY
 
When on my eyelashes it seems to take forever to dry and even after it is feels very sticky. I do not like that on my eyelashes and it makes them seem kind of heavy. With it being so sticky it is hard to get off even with makeup remover. I have to sit and scrub, which is probably not good, but what I have to do. Even when I think I have it all off in the morning I will still get a mascara ring under my eye.
 
 
Here is a look at what the mascara looks like on me.

AFTER
 


 
 
Overall I was not super impressed by it and would not go out and purchase it again. There are other mascaras that I would prefer. I like to use it under my Covergirl Clump Crusher (Which is my favorite) and then it is not so bad. I know for some people it may work but it does not work great for me. Just looking at the pictures my eyelashes I feel look wet and clumpy. I hope if you have tried this it has worked out for you and if you also don't like it let me know in the comments down below, also let me know what are you favorite mascaras are down below.

Mascara Review: Covergirl Clump Crusher & Flamed Out || Blossoms & Beauty


Hi Everyone!

To kick off Monday, I have picked out two popular drugstore mascaras at the moment and that is Covergirl's Clump Crusher Mascara and Flamed Out Mascara and I will be testing them out and giving you my honest review of both of them.

Let's Get Started!

-------------

CLUMP CRUSHER

FLAMED OUT 
I have been using both of these mascaras for about a month and have to say I do have one that I prefer to the other as my go to.
But first let me discuss each mascara on its own.

--------------

CLUMP CRUSHER:


The clump crusher is very wet compared to many different mascaras but that is something that I like about it because then you can layer it up and it does not clump (hence the name). The applicator brush is by far my favorite mascara brush that I have used. This is because it is so thick and also has a nice little curve to it so you are able to load up all the lashes with a lot of product. Because of it being thin and curved it can easily be applied to the lower lashes as well.

-------------

FLAMED OUT:


The flamed out mascara goes on a lot thicker compared to the clump crusher which then means it is easier to end up with your lashes looking clumpy and spidery. The brush could not be less similar to the clump crusher if you tried. The brush is very thick and has a little wave in it. This makes it difficult to use it for your lower lashes without hitting your skin which is a downside. Overall though, it really does make your lashes thicker and in my opinion look longer.

Conclusion: 
The CLUMP CRUSHER has a better wand.
The FLAMED OUT holds curl better after using a lash curler.
The CLUMP CRUSHER is better for lower lash application.
The FLAMED OUT is better for more thicker looking lashes.

If you haven't guessed by now the one that I prefer is the clump crusher compared to the flamed out mascara.


Suggestion:
Something that I do is apply one coat of Flamed out to the upper lashes and then go over that with clump crusher to the upper and lower lashes.
