COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara claims that it is a volumizing
mascara, lashes are full and defined after only one coat. Get soft lashes with
no flaking or smudging. Vegan.
Sounds good right?
I received the COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara 800 Very
Black in my May Topbox (Canadian beauty subscription).. I have so many mascaras
to try right now but I pulled this one out to try first because the brush caught
my attention. It has an hourglass shape similar to Too Faced Better Than Sex
and L’Oreal LashParadise mascaras. It even has the slightly thicker viscosity
the Too Faced and L’Oreal mascaras have. The COVERGIRL Exhibitionist mascara also
has a drier formula.
But does it perform the same?
I have short sparse and straight lashes. So I want
need a great mascara to give volume, length and hold a curl. Basically it has PERFORM.
Below the top picture is with no mascara. In the bottom
picture, the left side has 3 coats of the COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara and
the right side has 2 coats.
I have only used this for two days so far and while I
think the COVERGIRL Exhibitionist mascara gives me great volume, it doesn’t
give me as much lengthening as say the Too Faced mascara does. On its own the COVERGIRL
Exhibitionist Mascara held a curl as long as I curled them beforehand. I did
give my lashes another curl after I took this photo to bump up the curl factor
and it is still holding well.
The COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara does live up to it
claims of being volumizing and defining while still looking soft. I did notice
clumping on the third coat so try to stick to two coats if you can.
The hourglass shaped brush does give me some difficulties on my lower lashes as
you can see. I seemed to have missed the middle lashes! Duh. I usually use a
different mascara with a smaller brush for my lower lashes but I wanted to see
if it smudged at all during the day. It did not nor did I see any flaking?
I find the COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara less clumping
than the L’Oreal LashParadise but the LashParadise has an edge with the lengthening
factor. But the L’Oreal LashParadise also seems to dry out really fast for me.
I only seem to get a months use out of it before it gets too dry for me to
want to continue using. Let’s see how the COVERGIRL Exhibitionist Mascara
develops over the next month or so.
If you like a thick formula slightly on the drier side
mascaras, you will probably like this one too.
