COVERGIRL VoxBox Review pt.1 // Plumpify Mascara

I was lucky enough to receive the "COVERGIRL" VoxBox from Influenster. Since I use the CoverGirl "Smoothers SPF 21 Tinted Moisturizer BB Cream + Sunscreen" and "CoverGirl Ready, Set Gorgeous Fresh Complexion Powder Foundation" daily, I was exited to give the new products a try.

In my box I found the "Plumpify Mascara", and the "Oh Sugar! Vitamin Infused Lip Balm".

_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Today I want to let you know how I liked the "Plumpify Mascara"

Due to really watery eyes, I usually use waterproof mascara, but I have already checked, and there actually is a waterproof version of it as well. The first thing catching your attention must be the really odd shaped brush. It looks as if it grabs even the tiniest lashes.

Then the first bummer... I opened the mascara, and the smell is overwhelming. It smells REALLY chemical, and not really like anything you want to have right next to your eyes. For review purposes, I put it on anyway (oh the things I do for my lovely readers...)...

BEFORE

AFTER

The brush might look impressive, but it sure needs improvement. It feels as if the actual bottle is not made for the brush. You pull it out, and it"s FULL of mascara. Try to get it back in there... yea... no...
If you take a look at my before/after picture above, you will see it turned out pretty decent.

BUT:

Bottom Line

• I don't want this chemical smell every morning
• If it smells chemical, it must be pretty much chemical, right?
• That brush/bottle hassle... Nope.

And now for the obvious disclaimer: "I received these products complimentary from influenster for testing purposes."
Yep. Free stuff for me to try and then review... because I'm Batman.
