The Reality:

Packaging 4/5 stars

The green tube is nice, nothing flashy here but it does its job. The wand is a bit on the smaller side and acts more as a comb than a brush. This really does help apply the mascara smoothly and clump free.

Staying-Power 4/5 stars

I find that my lashes tend to droop a little while wearing this mascara. It doesn't hold curl in lashes all that well, but I didn't curl my lashes first so that may make a difference. Typically I don't curl my lashes and they hold up fine but not so much here. However there was no flaking or running mascara by the end of the day which is awesome.

Price 5/5 stars

As far as drugstore mascaras go, this one hits at about average. It costs about $6.99.

Lives up to its claims 4.5/5 stars

200% more volume? Lets not get ahead of ourselves Covergirl. This is definitely more of a natural looking mascara. It really does crush the clumps (they are nowhere in sight) but because of that, it's hard to build up any kind of serious volume.

OVERALL 5/5 stars

Up close your lashes will look phenomenal-well separated, defined, clump-free- but from far away its hard to see your lashes. The catch 22 is that if you want lashes that look amazing from far away, then you need your mascara to really build up on your eye lashes which in turn, causes clumps (or just apply false lashes). So if you are looking for dramatic falsies-looking lashes then keep walking, but if you want natural looking defined lashes this may be your new favorite!
