Now on to the review...

Today I am coming to you with a first impressions review of the new CoverGirl Flamed Out Mascara. I recently picked this up at the drugstore because I was running out of my beloved Lancome Hypnose Star and wanted to see if there was a cheaper mascara that I would fall in love with.

Product Info: As this is a drugstore product it varies in price depending on where you go but in Canada this runs at around $6.00 to $8.00. 

Consistency: I found the consistency of this particular mascara to be on the dry side and while this is not necessarily a bad thing, it can result in clumpy-ness if too dry and I did find that to be the case with this one. It definitely left clumps on my lashes and on the brush.

How I Use It: When I used this mascara for the first time I only applied one coat but the second time I used two coats and I found that was better to create the full effect with the mascara. I also curled my lashes with the Chanel Eyelash Curler before application. 

My Thoughts: I definitely think this mascara has a little too much on the clumpy side and the formula was so dry that it needed two coats to even feel like I had mascara on. Also, I didn't feel like the mascara held the curl of my lashes well. Like I mentioned above, I curl my lashes with an eyelash curler beforehand and that usually helps elongate and give curl to my lashes but it didn't feel effective with this mascara over top. 

Overall: I honestly wouldn't repurchase this mascara. I feel like there are so many other mascaras at the drugstore that do a better job, even mascaras by CoverGirl like their LashBlast or Clump Crusher. I would stick to those and skip out on the new Flamed Out mascara.
