Doesn't even compare to it's sisters LashExact or LashBlast!

a mascara lover, beauty product lover, like trying new things

Pros

Adds volume, easy to use brush

Cons

Slightly clumpy on lashes, Doesn't add very much length

I have tried a LOT of mascaras on my quest to find the perfect one. Even though I have found a couple really great mascaras, I still have fun finding new ones - enter CoverGirl Volume Exact Mascara. I absolutely love Lash Blast and Lash Exact, so I thought I would love this one too, but that's not the case.

CoverGirl says: "Volume Exact has an innovative, flexible brush with tiny micro chambers that surround individual lashes with the right amount of mascara to create voluminous, yet separated lashes."

I was disappointed in CoverGirl Volume Exact Mascara because it provides absolutely no length to my lashes. All it does is add volume and separation. Lash Blast is better because it adds volume, length and separation. I also find that Volume Exact is slightly clumpy. Unlike Maybelline's Define-A-Lash, this mascara will only let you run the brush over your lashes once or twice before it gets thick and yucky. If you wanted, you could apply Define-A-Lash mascara for 30 coats and still not get clumpy!

Although CoverGirl Volume Exact isn't a bad mascara, I wouldn't buy it again because I love Lash Blast and Lash Exact so much better. If you're not looking for long lashes, just thicker ones, you should love this mascara.

There was actually another one I wanted to try because I kept seeing the commercials but when I got to Walmart I couldn't for the life of me remember the brand name. So I got another tube of the L'Oreal Voluminous.

Trust me, it's on my list of ones to try!

Can you say L'Oreal Voluminous mascara? :+) I just bought another tube the other day and for some reason this time it made my eyes burn the first few days.

I think your sister likes this mascara, but to me, it didn't even compare to the other two! Thanks for reading and commenting!

I'm a Last Blast girl myself! Good to know about this one!

I'm always looking for new mascaras to try. I have "Cow Lashes" and it's hard to find a smooth, easy to apply produce that doesn't smudge or clump. Thanks for the info! I'll check out your favs!!
