I was contacted recently by CoverGirl to see if I’d be interested in reviewing some of their new products. Of course, I jumped at the chance since I LOVE a lot of their products already. I had no idea what CoverGirl was going to send me, so when the box arrived at my door and it had the NEW CoverGirl Super Sizer Mascara and the NEW CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner inside, I was thrilled! Two products I hadn’t seen in the stores around me to try out?! ::fistpump:: But what did I think of them…
CoverGirl Super Sizer Mascara
Let’s start with the CoverGirl Super Sizer Mascara. The packaging is different than any other mascara that CoverGirl has released recently, especially other Lashblast mascaras. The other Lashblast mascaras have that distinctive tapered shape, while regular CoverGirl mascaras have slender tubes; the CoverGirl Super Sizer is just thick and chunky. With a name like “Super Sizer”, the packaging of this mascara is pretty smart: starting with a bigger bottle makes you think that you’re going to get a bigger end result.
The wand, oh where do I start with the wand? The wand for the CoverGirl Super Sizer is rubberized, which is pretty standard for the Lashblast line. Next, let’s talk about the tapered design. When I pulled it out of the tube, I tilted my head from side-to-side trying to figure out if those itty-bitty bristles at the end were going to catch any of my lashes (Spoiler: They didn’t).
While I understand what CoverGirl intended with the wand design (catching all lashes with one swoop), for me, it just didn’t make it all the way there. Because of those itty-bitty bristles I mentioned, I had to move the wand around to make sure my other lashes were covered. When I did this the tip of the wand brushed against my nose, causing a big mess. It did help to give me incredible length, but the bristles just weren’t there to give me curve or volume.
CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner
Anyone who has been around the site (and my YouTube channel) for a while knows that eyeliner is not my favorite makeup product. I don’t have the steadiest hands for application, not to mention my eczema flareups can cause application to be iffy. So while I was excited to try out a new product from CoverGirl, I was concerned that the CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner’s consistency would be similar to that of their Ink It Eyeliner, which dragged on my lids.
When I opened the CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was actually a liquid liner with an intriguing felt tip. I haven’t seen a paddle tip on an eyeliner before, so CoverGirl putting it on their Intensify Me Eyeliner is pretty smart. While I’m not a huge fan of eyeliners, I do like the ones that make it easy to go from a thin to a thick line.
The CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner does a GREAT job of doing both thin and thick lines. No matter which way you turn the tip, the Intensify Me eyeliner doesn’t drag at all, does a thick black line, and doesn’t smear while applying. I can happily say that the CoverGirl Intensify Me Eyeliner has made me consider wearing eyeliner again.
Covergirl has always been my go-to brand for makeup. I don’t ever wear eyeliner, but I do wear mascara on occasion and I will definitely be trying this.
These look great! I love to get my eyes all poppy with a nice, rich liner. Thanks for sharing these.
I don’t use much make up anymore, but I might try the eyeliner.
I totally agree about the mascara. I got this in the mail too and it’s just weird lol. Maybe I’m just not talented enough to use this 🙂 I do like the eyeliner, though it is a bit hard to get used to.
I need to try that eyeliner. I’m not the best with eyeliner, either. When it comes to mascara, I’ve got the length, it’s the volume I need so I’m very picky. I’m always excited to read eyeliner reviews to learn the pros and cons.
My husband works in the place where they package Cover Girl. He says that it is really high quality makeup and they take great pains to make sure of it, so I think Cover Girl may be the best makeup out there!
I love the covergirl I got in the mail. The problem was… my Granddaughter did too. How can you say NO to your Grandkids?
I don’t use a lot of makeup but I am the opposite. I love eyeliner. I usually use just foundation and eyeliner. This one looks great. I will have to give it a go.
Wonderful review Cassie! I’m a Cover Girl blogger myself and they sent me those two products too! Can’t wait to try the CoverGirl Super Sizer Mascara and Intensify Me Eyeliner and give my own perspective. But great to know yours! Thanks for sharing!
I have been looking for a liner that does all of this! I hate liquid liner because I have a hard time applying it without getting it all over! Can’t wait to try this one!
I’ve never had an eyeliner like the Intensify Me one before. It does seem pretty versatile compared to the ones I have.
Looks like a super great brand of mascara! I haven’t used Cover Girl before, but I hear tons of great stuff about their products!
I like how well it went on your hand. I would have enjoyed seeing it on your eyes.
Seriously, NO ONE can do better than Cover Girl with mascara. It has been my grandma’s tried and true brand for the past 92 years. Thanks for sharing info on their newest product!
I love the CoverGirl products. I have a few myself. I really like that mascara. I’ll have to check for it the next time I’m out shopping.
These look like some really great products. I don’t use eye makeup that often, but my sister uses it a lot. I will send along to her.
Mascara is a product I use every time I go out. It’s the most used item I have since I don’t wear make up often. This looks great, I enjoy cover girl. Eye liner is one I can’t figure out on myself. I’m so messy, I just can’t do it. I like how thick it gets.. That’s really nice!
I got the same products as well. I was excited not knowing what was coming and love them both.
I don’t use much makeup but wouldn’t mind trying this product. It looks like something I might like. Who wouldn’t like thicker looking eyelashes.
Great reviews of these two new products. I’m so glad that you got the chance to add them to your collection.
I am not into makeup, but I know that is something that my sister would go gaga about. Her day is not complete without wearing makeup. 🙂
I love that eyeliner! I’m so glad to have gotten one in my Ipsy bag this month but, after this review, I can’t wait to try it! I like the gel ones, or the liquids with the tip- I’ve got one from Essence (super cheap) that I was wearing all the time before this. They’re great!
It’s a shame that you weren’t too impressed with the wand in the mascara. I hate little bitty wands like that too. The eyeliner looks great and versatile though.
I would be thrilled to try this eyeliner and mascara. My lashes are so small and they need a boost, besides, I love everything about Cover Girl
This sounds like a pretty awesome mascara! You would think at my age I would of found my dream mascara by now Since I’m a makeup and product junkie but unfortunately I have not… Might have to give this one a try 🙂
Both products my teen would like. She’s going through an eyeliner phase right now that I wish she wasn’t. 😉 And this too shall pass…
I love CoverGirl mascara and that’s about all that I’ve used for years. I could use some more volume but I’m curious about the small bristles and wonder if they’d work for me.
The amount of effort that goes into looking like you aren’t wearing makeup has always astounded me. Very important to not look like a circus clown but still look like the same person with or without makeup.
I love that eyeliner tip! That would be so helpful for me. I’m the worst at applying eyeliner.
I love this, I just got mines in the mail and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve been looking for a few summer products.
