I was fortunate to receive a great package from CoverGirl.

I took this picture from my Instagram. I already reviewed the eyeliner, CoverGirl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner in Intense Black (on the right). For this post, I will review the mascara.

Thoughts: I've always had good experience with CoverGirl mascaras and for that reason, I was excited to receive this!
Here's how the mascara looks. The width and length isn't any bigger than any other mascaras.
Here's how the wand looks. I actually found it pretty interesting and unique. On one side, it's flat. The other side it goes from small to big at the tips. The bristles is unique as well. The flat side goes from big to small at the tip. The small to big side the bristles goes from small to big at the tip. I hope that makes sense.

Here's how the mascara looks on me...
Here's the side view. I'm not too sure if you can see the curl.
Here's how my lashes look when you look from the top. It looks full. Trust me I don't have naturally full lashes.
Here's an overall look. I used NARS Dual-Intensity Eyeshadow Palette on the eyes and MustaeV Glazing Lip Gloss Lip Gloss in Golden Peach on the lips.

Now for my overall opinion... First of all, one thing I noticed is that it didn't have a strong mascara scent. A lot of mascaras have that smell while you open and close the packaging. I didn't notice with this mascara. I decided to smell it at the moment and it really doesn't have any scent. I'm not too sure if the smell decreased because of usage or it naturally didn't have any. Secondly, I did find the wand a little hard to work with. It says to twirl the wand as you apply. I tried that many times and I found it awkward. I decided to use it as I normally would, apply without twirling the wand. It worked better for me that way. Please try different methods and whatever works for you, do so. Third and all honesty, I didn't like it the first time I used the mascara. It was extremely wet and my lashes looked as bad as it could be. It weighed it down and the lashes stuck together. After second usage, I loved it! My lashes kept curled, separated, and full.  It really did give me a "corner-to-corner volume" as they proclaimed. Lastly for a non-waterproof mascara, it held up to it's description. If it can hold straight, Asian lashes then this is a good thing.

Pros:
* Non-waterproof; easy to wash off.
* Interesting wand.
* Hardly any scent.
* Kept lashes curled.
* Gave me volume.
* Did not weigh my Asian lashes down.
* Coated each lashes.
* Lashes kept separate.

Cons:
* Need to give it at least one or two usage because it works to it's maximum.

Would repurchase: Yes.
