If I ever want to look alive before dropping my son off to school , there are two things I must put on before leaving the house: eyeliner and mascara. When using eyeliner, I typically use black liner on my top lid, a slightly lighter brown for my bottom lid, and then a nude liner for my water line. It works every time.

My mascara routine is a bit different. Because my natural lashes are thin and not the longest, I always opt for the darkest black I can find, and one that’s lengthening and volumizing. For this reason, I was immediately drawn to It Cosmetics Lash Blowout Mascara . The new mascara is developed in partnership with Drybar (the blow dry bar that specializes in just blowouts) and promises to deliver bold and voluminous lashes all day long. I was sold.

Could this really be the blowout my lashes have been waiting for? It turns out, it was much better than most volumizing formulas I’ve tried.

For starters, the wand is a great size—it’s not too big or small, and it’s easy to grip—just like my favorite Drybar round brush. As for the formula, it’s super light and infused with biotin which helps lashes look stronger and healthier. I also love that it’s buildable, and I didn’t notice any clumps or flakes between coats.

The real test is that my lashes still looked great at dinnertime . I didn’t have smudges or the dreaded raccoon eyes I always get after a long day at work. Surprisingly, the mascara actually stayed in place. To be fair, I haven’t compared them with lash-extensions (which are my new go-to since having baby number two), but I’m sure it will hold up nicely.

Overall, I was very impressed with the level of length and fullness this mascara delivered. Indeed, this is the eyelash blowout my lashes have been waiting for. While it won’t give you a few extra hours in bed, you’ll at least look a little more awake, mama.

Here’s how I apply IT Cosmetics Lash Blowout Mascara:

  1. Starting as close to lash line as possible (and looking down), align the brush against your top lashes. Gradually turn upwards, then wiggle the wand back and forth up and down your eyelashes.
  2. Repeat, if needed. Tip: Be sure to allow the mascara to dry between each coat.
  3. Using the same technique, apply mascara to your bottom lashes, brushing the wand down your eyelashes.
