Product Review: Covergirl Clump Crusher Mascara!

CoverGirl has done it again.  This new mascara has been out in stores for a while now, but I was hesitant to pick it up until a few weeks ago (I wasn't a huge fan of LashBlast).  It is awesome!  It provides great separation and length, WITHOUT CLUMPS.  I don't think it can get better than that. 

The brush is the unique part of this mascara.  It's curved.  Maybelline Falsies mascara is the same way, but that one has a standard "bristle" wand, while the Clump Crusher has short, stubby, rubber bristles. I think the rubberized bristles help immensely in trying to avoid clumps. This is probably because the short bristles allow less product to get on the wand, which means that less product is being put on your eyelashes as a whole.  It takes about two coats for me to get them to look the way I want, but that's pretty typical of any mascara.  Clump Crusher holds a nice curl in my lashes, too!  The crescent moon shaped brush is perfect for lifting my eyelashes up and out.  

The price is very reasonable as well.  I believe it was around $7 at my local Walmart. 

Overall, I would definitely recommend this mascara.  It is worth the hype!
