Since I gave the original Lash Blast Mascara such a rave review, a few of you asked for my thoughts on the brand new Luxe edition. And surprisingly enough, I really like it.



Why was it such a surprise you ask? Because at first glance, this product looks exactly like Cover Girls Eye Brights mascara, and I’m generally not too thrilled about spending more of my hard earned money on something I already have.

But alas, like Britney Spears, I’m a slave for you, and decided to give it a whirl. So, as I perused the Cover Girl aisle at Target, the first thing I noticed is the color offerings for Lash Blast Luxe and Eye Brights are almost exactly the same, save the Black Emerald version of the Luxe mascara. So at this point I’m thinking, “HA! Cover Girl is sooooo busted!”

Upon further inspection however, I noticed the shimmer factor is higher with the Lash Blast Luxe, and the colors are brighter. With the Eye Brights formula, most of the color lies in the flecks of glitter, where as the Lash Blast is more of a tinted mascara with sparkles in it.

Once I got the stuff home, I put both mascaras on and did a side by side comparison to see if my findings were accurate, and indeed they were. Not to mention the Lash Blast Luxe offers a lot more volume, so in my opinion its worth the extra $1.50. And of all the colors – I tried all four – the Black Emerald is my favorite. And with St. Patrick’s Day on the horizon, this one is a must have.
