Months and months ago my sis-in-law Lexie introduced me to what she believed to be the best mascara ever, and I told her she should blog about it.  You know, pass on the love.  The mascara was CoverGirl’s LashExact.  I preferred the VolumeExact to the original, but Lexie was right.  Best.Mascara.Ever.  Love it.  No clumps, no smears, good coverage.  Relatively cheap.  Perfect.

As far as I was concerned, my mascara searching days were over forever.  I’d found the one.

But then I saw a commercial for this stuff.  Chunky orange, see above.  CoverGirl LashBlast.  And I thought, Hmmm... another CoverGirl mascara... wonder if it’s as good as the perfect stuff in my vanity... 

And since I can’t leave well enough alone, on my next trip to the grocery store, I swung by the makeup aisle and picked up this tube of eyelash bliss. 

My friends, this stuff rocks.  The brush is huge as far as such things go, and the lack of a tapered tip is a bit of a challenge at first when you’re trying to reach those baby lashes in the corners... but I’m in mascara heaven.  It’s VolumeExact with a cherry on top.  My mascara searching days are over forever.  Again.

Ah, Lash Blast.  It’s been the highlight of my sprucing-up routine, which, I might add, is often the highlight of my day.  For some women, makeup is a hassle and a burden.  The last thing they want to do when they’re feeling stressed or tired or whatever.  For me, it’s like a sweet little pick-me-up and seriously improves my state of mind and attitude, without fail.  Been like this since junior high.  I don’t wear a LOT of makeup or anything, and it’s never interesting, fancy, or particularly colorful.  Mascaras and lipsticks are my favorite... always looking for the perfect color, the perfect eyelashes. 

But not today.  Today it’s perfect as it is.  My LashBlast, L’Oreal lipstick in Chocolate Truffle, and Physicians Formula powder.  All drugstore brands, I might add.  Gotta love that, right?

So, in conclusion, LashBlast.  You’re welcome.

(See, Lex, you can blog about any silly thing!  And I want YOU to whip up something about your new hoodie from Anthro.  Inspire the world.  Give us hope.  Share the joy!)
