CoverGirl Lash Exact Mascara

Posted by Chrissy Dolezal Apr 30, 2007

The magazine, Real Simple, features an article in every publication called “Road Tests” in which it tries many types of a certain product and give their opinion along with a quote from the test audience. In the April 2007 issue, the Road Test was on Mascara. According to Real Simple, the best overall mascara is CoverGirl’s Lash Exact. And I quote, “For price and performance this mascara can’t be beat. The soft rubber applicator coats each lash evenly without smudging, and the formula contains provitamin B5 to condition. ‘It’s my ideal mascara,’ said a tester, ‘efficient and affordable.’”

After reading this article and having a lot of trial and error for the perfect mascara, I decided to try CoverGirl’s Lash Exact. Needless to say, I was not impressed. I thought that it went on clumpy. Even using an eyelash comb didn’t help. There was a lot of product on the wand which made it hard and messy to apply.

I did like that it was water resistant so I never had to worry about having my mascara run. One nice surprise, it was easy to take off with just your regular facial cleanser. I did find using a paper towel to wipe off excess product did help the mascara to go on better. I found that I did receive much better results after doing so. However, it does make you run out of mascara pretty fast.
