How It Wore: Covergirl Total Tease Mascara

This mascara has been getting a lot of attention lately because of the weird wand and as I've said before, I love trying out weird and different products. This mascara states that it is supposed to give you full, lengthened lashes and the teaser comb on the end of the wand is supposed to help fan out the lashes. So let's get into how the mascara wore and the review.

How it Wore

8:32 am: First application; it was a little clumpy at first, but once I used the teaser comb it fanned out my lashes nicely and got rid of the clumps. On first application it did a good job of making my lashes look more full, but it did not lengthen them a whole lot like I expected them to.

1:39 pm: After checking my mascara it was holding up pretty well, they only issue I had at this point was that there seemed to be a little bit of flaking on my eyelid, but other than that all was good.

4:38 pm: It still was holding up well at this point in the day, but there was a little more smudging on the lower lashline.

11:13 pm: Other than the little bit of flaking and smudging that happened earlier the mascara held up by the end of the day.

Review

I have mixed feelings on this mascara, so first I will start off with the cons of this mascara and then get into the pros. When I first opened the tube it had a really strong, bad chemical smell to it that really threw me off, but since it i8s not near your nose you can't really smell it throughout the day. In addition, the mascara was very wet and sticky for a little while after applying it and my bangs kept getting stuck to my lashes. Also since it was so wet it was a little messy to apply. The biggest issue I had though was that it says that it is supposed to lengthen your lashes and I found that it did not really lengthen them at all. On the other hand, the teaser comb did a great job of getting rid of clumps and fanning out my lashes to make them look fuller. In addition, although it did not curl my lashes (which it did not claim to do anyways) it held the curl from my eyelash curler all day. Overall, I'd say this mascara is not necessary, but it is definitely not a bad mascara either.


Thank you all for viewing my post and I will have another one up soon!!
