Drybar, the masters of voluminous blowouts, collaborated with IT Cosmetics to launch a new kind of mascara called Lash Blowout that draws parallels between hair and lashes in a unique way. While there are always new mascara products being released, with each one boasting a formula that promises to be more volumizing than the ones that preceded it, this new product takes cues from the salon environment and includes a specially designed brush and formula.
The Lash Blowout mascara acknowledges the fact that "everybody wants big hair, just like everybody wants big lashes," according to Drybar CEO Alli Webb. As such, the cosmetic product is packed with ingredients that can be found in many hair products like biotin and collagen, and comes with a brush applicator that works through lashes to prevent clumps.
