From the Target website:
The clump crusher brush combined with a buildable fiber-stretch formula give 200% more volume and length to your lashes. Clump Crusher's innovative curved brush helps sweep away clumps while building volume and length so lashes appear volumized, longer, and separated.I didn't really care for the original Clump Crusher (it didn't deliver enough volume for my barely-there lashes) but since this one claims to give "200% more volume" I'm thinking I need to give it a shot! Thoughts?
Thanks so much, Elizabeth Hui, for the heads-up about this one!
I saw this mascara at the store and held it up right next to original clump crusher if you would like the photo! In person, even when I look up close, I can barely see a difference! It looks as if the extensions version has slightly longer bristles, but I mean it looks the same. I won't be buying it because I wasn't a fan of CC myself.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... thanks for the tip!
DeleteI live claims like "200%." I have yet to see any mascara do that. I have the original clump crusher and it's not bad.
ReplyDeleteI interpret those claims to mean it will *hopefully* give more volume than the original. Nothing more, nothing less! ;)
DeleteI have both the Clump Crusher and Clump Crusher Extensions and I don't notice a difference between the two at all. Also, I noticed that the original Clump Crusher has the whole "200% more volume" on the front of the package as well. So, if you don't care for the original, I'm guessing the Extensions won't yield any better results (unfortunately).
ReplyDeleteAaah, thanks for the info. Bummer!!!
DeleteI tried the CC but was not impressed with the results. I may give this a shot, but not too sure yet.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not alone! I know some people really liked it but it did nothing for me. :(
Deletei really look forward to reading your thoughts on this mascara. however, lets all keep in mind that almost all mascara make claims for outrageous volume. we cant expect to see " 200% more volume "
ReplyDeleteAfter 30 years of wearing drugstore makeup (I'm 42) and writing this blog for almost five years, I tend to take all claims at face value! Seeing "200% more volume" gets me excited only because that may mean it will actually give *some* volume to my lashes (vs. the original). Hope that clears it up!
DeleteI like the original Clump Crusher enough that I will try this, though these "flanker" mascaras based off the original rarely live up. (See The Falsies and all of its companions.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't care for the original CC either. In fact, I was pretty disappointed. I had seen an article in Allure magazine about the "science" behind this new brush design, so I was anticipating a great mascara. This didn't do anything for me and I doubt I'll try the new version either. Lash Blast (in the orange tube) is still the best, in my opinion ( of Cover Girl mascaras).
ReplyDeleteHey G. I didn't like the clump crusher either, didn't do much for me in terms of length OR volume(bummer). I loveeee layering a coat of Maybelline The Rocket underneath a coat of the Clump Crusher. Big giant false looking eye lashes for me. (I don't use the waterproof versions though, I don't know how it would do)
ReplyDeleteI've heard that this performs the same as the original Clump Crusher :( Such a gimmick.
ReplyDeleteI was not a fan of the original CC, it did nothing for my lashes. However I bought this one last time I was out and it gives me twice the length of the original. Like the other lash blasts you have to build it for the best results, just be patient. Makes a very good base for a volumizing mascara.
