Mascara Wars: Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Vs. CoverGirl Lash Blast (with pictures)

So,for the longest time I've been using the Maybelline Colossal Volum' for...pretty much ever, and after a while i wanted to try something new. So, I went to CVS to browse around cause lately I've been couped up in the house and I'll pretty much find any reason to get out. Now, all the hype on the CoverGirl Lash Blast got me curious so i went for it and heres what i think.(i also lucked out and got the last Very Black in the Non-Waterproof, because waterproof irritates my eyes)







Maybelline-$7.49      CoverGirl-$8.99

Now before i get into what i think and all the pictures of my lashes with the mascaraon , lets get into some facts about both of these mascaras. For starters, the Last Blast tube is larger than the Colossal Volum', but in the Lash Blast there are .44oz and there are .31oz in the Colossal Volum'.

The wand on each mascara is pretty diffrent. The Colossal Volum' wand is pretty thick and the bristles are a pretty good length, also it tapers off really well for being a pretty big brush. Lash Blast on the other hand ,the wand itself is thick but the bristles are short also the wand just kind of cuts off and dosent really taper to a point.

Anways..thats enough of that.

Ok, so I'm one of those people that can tell if they are gonna like something within the first time of trying it and i have to say..i was pretty impressed with the Lash Blast, it definitly thickens and seperates my lashes and it gives me length. But the Colossal Volum' gives me more length and wispyness. The brushes on both of them I really like but over all i pick the Colossal over the Lash Blast because when i apply my mascara i do it on the top of my lashes too so if the wand is too big it'll get all over my eyelid. The Colossal Volum' is a little flaky i have to admit but over all i love it. Now something i discovered is puting the Colossal Volum' on first then the Lash Blast, it gives you that wispy length and the thickness. Now,to see it for yourselves:
