I have been using Covergirl's Lashblast for a little while now so I thought I should probably do a review. Since I ended up loving it, I couldn't resist getting the Lashblast length as well, since I figured that it would work just as well as the original, plus my other lengthening mascara is pretty much gone.
Obviously, the two are very different in size. The regular one is very fat! It actually took awhile to get used to holding the brush because the handle is so big! I like the Lashblast Length's packaging, I tend to like slimmer designs when it comes to mascaras. I like the fact that the packaging of both are very bright, it makes it easier to spot them in my cluttered makeup drawer :)
First I will review the original Lashblast. Like I said, the package is very wide and round, which can be kind of difficult to handle in the beginning.
So what do I think of this mascara? I LOVE it! Seriously! It makes my lashes look so much fuller and darker, and even though it is a volumizing mascara, it does actually lengthen my lashes too, not to extreme lengths or anything, but better than other volumizing mascaras I've tried. I think one of the best things about though is the fact that it doesn't clump whatsoever! You can apply like twenty layers and it still doesn't get clumpy!

After 2 coats:
And after like 10 coats!:
Rating: 5/5! This definitely is one of the best mascaras I've found so far!
Pros: Volumizing, clump free, lengthening
Cons: The only con I can think of is the packaging and the applicator being so bulky. But once you get used to it, it's no problem.
Would I repurchase? Definitely!!!
Now onto the Lashblast Length! I figured since I loved the original so much, this one had to be just as good.. Uh, wrong! I was so disappointed in this! And it actually took me forever to decide between this one and a different mascara ( I think it was Loreal's Telescopic mascara). I even read really good reviews about this one too :(
The tube is a lot skinnier than the original

It did lengthen my lashes somewhat, but just barely, the original formula lengthened about as much as this one, if not more. It definitely didn't do as good a job as my Maybelline XXL Extensions mascara. And the brush is really tiny and didn't hold onto any product at all, I had to pump the wand up and down in the tube like twenty times and it still barely held onto any formula.
Rating: 3/5! I was really disappointed in this! :(
Pros: Skinny packaging, no clumping
Cons: Formula doesn't do anything, applicator is too small and doesn't hold onto any formula
Would I repurchase? I really don't think so!
