Despite the fact that I've bought a ton of mascaras lately, I was somehow unable to resist picking up Cover Girl's new Exact Eyelights Eye-Brightening Mascara when I walked into CVS a few days ago. (It's the displays! I'm telling you, they get me with the displays! They can make anything look awesome!) I was intrigued by Cover Girl's claim that it would make my eyes four times brighter due to the light-reflecting metallics each mascara contains, and the fact that there are specific mascara shades for each different eye color. (I bought Black Ruby for my green eyes). Here's the thing - I wouldn't say that I noticed my eyes being particularly brighter, but as a mascara, I really liked it. The shade (which is sort of a muted dark purple) looked great on my lashes, so they clearly know what they're talking about color-wise, and the brush was great. It made the mascara super easy to apply and it even gave my lower lashes thickness without any clumps and usually I'm terrible at making that happen. I'd probably use a more dramatic black mascara for a night out, but for daily use, I'm definitely adding this to the rotation, especially since it's under $10. (At that price, I can go back and get the Black Gold shade meant for hazel eyes too because it just sounds pretty!)
