Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara: A Name Befitting the Product


Mascara is the one beauty product that's hardly ever a perfect fit, so finding one that's pretty damn close is usually as good as it gets. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried a sample Bobbi Brown's Everything Mascara (noted on their website as being a best-seller). BB's 'Everything' Mascara fulfilled all the requirements of a good mascara, in healthy doses. It plumped up my lashes, made them look longer, stronger and blacker. I liked the small, simple bristles of the wand because it helped coat every single lash and was easy to maneuver.

My main focus when trying to find a good mascara is to make sure it doesn't smudge or clump giving me the infamous raccoon eyes. I won't guarantee that BB's Everything Mascara will last through an insanely hot, sweaty day (like it was today in New York) or a good cryfest, but it does the job rather adequately.

I like to switch up my mascaras from time to time just because my lashes seem to get bored with everything and anything (even if it the coveted Dior show), so Bobbi Brown's Everything Mascara will definitely get a round.

Review: Cover Girl Lash Exact Mascara


A good mascara contains the following elements;

  • accurately lengthens, volumize or does whatever it promises
  • is smudge-proof
  • is not a pain to get off
  • does not clump
  • The bristles are sturdy yet flexible at the same time
Since I have yet to find my perfect mascara formula (maybe my technique is just wrong?) besides Maybeline Define-A-Lash or the iconic Great Lash, I am constantly on the prowl. The new Cover Girl Lash Exact is my latest experiment and while it didn't fail me as terribly as some others have, it still did not please me. CG Lash Exact is an average mascara. It made my lashes a little clumpy but not as terrible as some other mascaras. The thing i did like about it is that it's relatively smudge proof. But it does not lengthen beautifully like it promises.

Overall, I will continue to use until it runs out or dries up, but I wouldn't buy it again.
