Mascara and eye liner, two things that I love and use consistently when it comes to makeup. I was very excited to hear that Covergirl had released some new products for the eyes recently and even more excited when I got the chance to check those out for myself to see how I liked them. Anything that promises me over the top lashes and a bold cat eye are definitely something I am interested in checking out. Covergirl’s Super Sizer Mascara and Intensify Me! Eyeliner by LashBlast have been put to the test – do you think they made the cut?
Let’s start with the mascara shall we. The packaging on this mascara is cute and it is huge – it even feels pretty large when holding it in your hand. The product says that this will provide you 400% corner-to-corner volume and has a unique lash styler that you twirl as you apply. As you will see in my demo/first impressions video, this was a little tricky to apply at first. The wand is kind of odd in my opinion and even after using this product for a month since recording the video, I still have yet to get the “twirling” aspect of it down.
I got this mascara in VERY BLACK which is great because that is really the only mascara color I use. The mascara is very dark in shade which I like and it makes my lashes definitely stand out against my tattooed liner. I am quite impressed with the brush and how it gets my little lashes and really does add volume from corner-to-corner as it states. I think the only con I had for this product was the overall learning curve and the fact that applying to my lower lashes was not very easy at first and is still a bit of a challenge for me. I will usually stop applying this mascara at two coats because I will notice that if I am trying to twirl as suggested, it can start to make my lashes clumpy and bunchy. If I do not twirl and apply as I would normal mascara that I use, I can usually get about three coats of mascara without clumping.
The formulation is a little on the mousse-like side and seems to take a little longer to set than my regular mascaras. Once set it doesn’t seem stiff or hard on my lashes and my lashes still have a soft feeling to them. The biggest issue for me was that since my eyes are sensitive and do tear, once it tears I have mascara smeared all over my lower and upper lash line. I definitely need to try the waterproof version.
Overall – I think the mascara offered me reasonable length and volume and I have continued to use it since I first opened the package. I isn’t a favorite, but I have been able to make it work for me and I like the effect it gives my lashes. Would I continue to purchase? Hmm… maybe in a waterproof formulation to use as every day because it did offer good lift and volume for my tiny lashes.
Next is the intensify me! liquid liner by lashblast. This liquid line has a unique paddle-shaped top that gives you two different looks in one. You can either go dramatic and thick or thin and elegant. The formula is an intense black formula that glides on smoothly and dries super quick. I love that you can create different looks easily and it’s great that there is minimal to no skipping when using this product as you apply your liner. This liner is Ophthalmologist tested and suitable for contact lens wearers which is a plus for me all around since my eyes are sensitive. It removes easily with soap and water, which is great but also a negative for me since I have sensitive eyes I tear a lot.
I did notice some smudging after a little while of use and if my eyes tear heavily, it will smear and run. But, the formula on this product is dark and a deep black which I like. It has a little shine to it, but still appears black once it sets. I love the paddle-like tip on this product because it makes applying your eye liner or creating a cat-eye or winged liner so easy, even for those who are novice at it. I think this would make a great starter liner and I know I’ll continue to use it because I love how smooth it glides against my eye lid without tugging. You also get bold color in one swipe which is awesome.
It’s rare to find really good liquid liners at the drugstore that will meet both my need for ease of use as well as color pay off and quality. I’ve pretty much tried them all and I’m really impressed with this product overall. I would love to find it in a waterproof version, especially since my eyes tear often and if I do, I know it will easily become a favorite.
Overall – while I was fairly impressed with the products when I first tried them (see my video here), I definitely think that I have grown to enjoy these products. I use the Covergirl Super Sizer by Lashblast Mascara in combination with some of my favorite lengthening mascaras and get a great result and I have truly been enjoying the Covergirl intensify me! by lashblast liquid liner because of it’s ease of use for creating your favorite kind of eye liner look. Will I purchase these again? Hmmm… I know I’ll definitely purchase the intensify me! eye liner again and I’m still on the fence with the Super Sizer mascara. If I can find the mascara in a waterproof version and try that out – it may give me a better idea if I truly would consider this a repurchase. I like it, but it smears easily on my watery eyes so I’m still not sure about that. Overall – I do think they are pretty nice products for the price.

I got these sent to me, as well and I was impressed. I especially like the mascara tho the liner isn’t half bad, for liquid.
The liner looks like a definite winner.
Lookin good! 😀 I am smacking myself because I still havent used these.
The Super Sizer is my absolute favorite mascara. I ignore how CG says to apply it and do it as I would any other mascara, and it rocks! Love this stuff
I just love how totally fresh these look on you. Darling.
I am actually super happy with both the mascara and the eyeliner and have been wearing both every day! Honey, what are you wearing on your lips? Is that ColourPop in Tootsie? Whatever it is, I absolutely need it in my life!
I’m using LA Splash Charmed Liquid Lipstick… in my post where I had blue eye shadow the other day featuring colourpop – that was tootsi 😀 I think you would like it, it’s my fav nude and I use it almost every day. I’ll need to buy another one soon 🙂
Thank you, Honey! I went and checked out your post, and sure enough I had already commented about how much I love Charmed! Thanks for being such a temptress!
The liner looks great on you!
Although the wand’s not my fave, I really like the mascara’s formula– it can really hold a curl!
Agreed, that mascara is nothing to write home about, but it’s alright. A decent one for everyday use, and looks nice and natural on the lashes.
Mascara is ok; liner didn’t work out for me
I love the liner, but the mascara definitely didn’t work out for me. I’m glad to hear you liked the mascara a bit more than I did!
I liked both, but never did get the hang of the ‘twirl’ either!
Love the idea of the applicator!
This look is beautiful on you! The liner and mascara are amazing! <3
I like the mascara but I doubt I’ll buy it again. It doesn’t do anything special for my lashes. The liner though I like a lot.
I’ve read a lot of mixed reviews on the mascara, but it loos like you achieved pretty good results.
I really like this mascara, and I do hope they release the waterproof version of it because I’ll buy bunches of it. But I don’t like the eyeliner- the paddle applicator gives me the hardest time! It always skips on my lid lol.
