COVERGIRLLash Blast Clean Volume Mascara, Vegan Formula, Volumizing, Smudge-Proof, Cruelty Free, Black Brown, 1 Count

For a blue eyed gal like myself, this is the perfect mascara. I basically have zero critiques. I usually have reactions to mainstream mascara (burning, itching, red eyes) and this product has not caused any of that, even with all my sensitivities. It doesn't clump, either, and doesn't flake. It's a little hard to remove, but that's what I was hoping for in a waterproof mascara. Overall, I really love this mascara and it looks gorgeous on.

I’ve tried a few different mascaras and I keep going back to this one. The wand keeps clumps to a minimum. I don’t get raccoon eyes on hot days, but it washes off easily. The color is deep black. Highly recommend

This seems to run out very quickly. It doesn't last in the container as long as other mascaras I have purchased. Easy to remove.

I got this because I like the non-waterproof version of this - CoverGirl Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara, 835 Black Brown (ewg score of 1), and with so much snow lately, I needed a good waterproof mascara.I got the Very Black 825 in particular because it has a score of 1 on ewg.com/skindeep - while the non-waterproof 835 also has a score of 1. Not the other colors though, which is worth noting if you don't like irritants near your eyes.Among other ewg friendly mascaras, I love this one because it separates the lashes and does not create a "spider-y" look that other mascaras, especially tubing ones, can have. (essence | Lash Princess Mascara Primer and essence | Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara are not my bag, but would be good if I had less and/or shorter lashes)This waterproof formula is more prone to clumping compared to the non-waterproof, but I guess that is to be expected for waterproof.It removes okay; I use "Farmacy Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm - Green Clean - EWG VERIFIED" followed by "La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Cleanser | 2% Salicylic Acid" (EWG score of 4 due to Salicylic acid and menthol - which I think are good for its purposes). Whatever is left is easily removed with a cotton pad or two and "Desert Essence Organic Jojoba Oil."

I’ve been using this mascara for years! It doesn’t clump or require multiple coats and my lashes always get compliments.I love that it’s gentle and doesn’t cause my lashes to break and lasts all day. Easy to remove at night with soap and water or makeup remover.Best mascara without breaking the bank!

I really wanted to love this mascara. I do appreciate that it's a "clean" formula and the wand is actually great—it separates my lashes nicely without clumping. However, for something that claims to be waterproof, it really just means it's impossible to remove without heavy-duty makeup remover. Despite that, it still manages to wear off by midday and smears under my eyes more than any mascara I've ever tried. I'm honestly baffled by all the glowing reviews. It's not the worst, but definitely not worth the hype for me.

After wasting a lot of money and time on other cleaner mascaras, I am delighted to have actually found one I have bought now twice! The ingredients are cleaner and the user experience is about the same as other mascaras (toxic ones). I agree with another that it might be a little bit greasier to clean off completely. And, I should take a star off for the dumb brush, but it does works better than some other dumb brushes. In total, for the price, the cleaner ingredients, and no flaking or irritation, I give this one five stars!

From wife - I had given up on mascara for a long time because they irritated my eyes so much. This product changed everything. I got both the regular and the waterproof in brown. It doesn’t feel like I’m wearing anything! No more rubbing my eyes and smudging. Very cost effective - great value for the cost.
