Day 23: CoverGirl Clump Crusher Water Resistant
Ok, folks - let's see if I can stick to the one-a-day posts for the last two days... Today's mascara is CoverGirl's Clump Crusher Water Resistant (retail: $8.99). This claims to add 200% more volume with no clumps ("vs. bare lashes").
First of all, I'd like to know how they calculated this 200% nonsense. I mean, really? How does one calculate how much volume a mascara adds? Also, I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about clumps with bare lashes. Call me crazy, but this mascara already sounds like a bunch of hooey.
Just like the Wet n Wild mascara I reviewed earlier today, this only adds just the slightest bit of volume (it certainly didn't add 200%). Sure, there aren't any clumps, but water resistant it is not. It's pretty easy to remove with your standard makeup remover wipe and smudges and flakes throughout the day.
I knew there was a reason I've never been attracted to CoverGirl mascara, and this mascara proves why. Although, based on Kandee Johnson's review of the new Bombshell mascara, I might have to give that a try. Have you seen it? Her lashes look amazing! Anyway, I'll be adding Clump Crusher to my long list of failed CoverGirl products.
Like:
- clump-free
Dislikes:
- adds natural volume
- flakes and smudges
- is not water resistant
Hey Cassie, I completely agree with the covergirl disappointments..I mean literally over and over again. TERRIBLE! However, I decided to try the Flamed Up Covergirl mascara and was seriously impressed. This in no way makes me want to run out and give them another try. But this one is definitely worth it! :)

Thanks for sharing - I will definitely have to check out your review! I will say, CG's new 3-in-1 foundation is amazing but that's about all the compliments I can give the brand!
