CoverGirl recently brought out a new volumizing mascara and a versatile liquid eyeliner : Meet The Super Sizer by Lash Blast Mascara & intensify me! Liquid Eyeliner.
I had my doubts because I rarely find a mascara with regular formulation that works on my straight Asian lashes and I still think liquid liners are difficult to work with. After trying them on and off for about two weeks, now I see I worried for nothing and many people would find these new eye makeup tools useful and easy to wear!
Like all mascaras from the LashBlast, The Super Sizer Mascara comes in a big fat tube.
No frills. Just a big round barrel like tube.
So I couldn't help laughing a little to see this skinny teethed brush.
It is slightly angled and the teeth are spaced carefully to minimize the clumping.
At first I thought it looked more of a lengthening mascara but it IS a volumizing one, alright.
The 400% claim seems too much, but it quickly graces my lashes with a nice volume only after a few strokes. The intense black color is a plus, too.
But, the selling point for me? It does NOT uncurl my curled lashes!!! This is so big. I'd buy this again just for that reason.
intensify me! Liquid Eyeliner is a sharpie kind. What's unique about it is that it comes with a paddle-shaped tip that can create both thin & thick lines easily.
Thin
Thick
As you see from the swatch picture, it is not suitable for creating those delicate super-fine lines. But if you are like me and don't have that steady hand, this is really nice. I start from the middle holding the tip's thin side against the lash lines and work through quickly. The thick wide side is quite useful to fill the gaps on the outer corners. You know that wider space when you go for cat-flicks? Fill it easily with the paddle. :)
Styling tips on a card was included, but it is pretty much a no-brainer.
This duo works great when I feel like a minimal yet defined look.
(I am wearing the mascara only on the upper lashes, in case you're wondering.)
CoverGirl The Super Sizer Mascara and intensify me! Eyeliner are easy and affordable way to try a bolder eye makeup look. And personally, finding a regular mascara that works for me a huge unexpected bonus! :)
Have you spotted them, yet?
*The products were sent to Lenallure by the brand for editorial consideration.*
The mascara sounds promising. My lashes are so stubborn and so hard to work with. I don't know how many times I have to re-curl my lashes throughout the day. When you said it doesn't uncurl lashes, it is exactly what I need. I don't dream of volumizing and other good stuff, I just have to go pick one up(and hopefully it will be here in Canada soon!)
ReplyDeleteNothing keeps my curls intact if I don't use a waterproof mascara! This mascara still isn't the best compared to others, but hands down the best for a regular formulation.
DeleteI'm sure it will reach Canada in no time (maybe it is already there! :))
I think the mascara looks great and if they release it in a waterproof version I will definitely give it a try.As far as the eyeliner, my favorite one is a liquid liner from Kat Von D that allows you to create super thin and precise lines so I am going to stick to that one!

There is a waterproof version of this but I think I will just buy the regular one for me. Sometimes I just want to wash my face with water and soap, you know? ;)
DeleteI have the Kat Von D liner, too! It is supposed to be the best but I find myself lacking the skill. Must practice more! :)
I feel so limited in my mascara options since I pretty much have to have a tubing/fiber one, LOL. I want a volumizing one...at least, I think I do. But lately I've tried some that are more lengthening or curling and that ends up looking pretty nice, too, so now I don't even know what I want!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've seen, you have beautiful lashes! Actually the Classic one from CoverGirl (Professional Washable waterproof or something in a plain purple tube) is a tubing mascara and it isn't bad at all. You might be bothered by the smell, though.
DeleteI didn't experience any smudging with this one. I still can't tell which one is a tubing mascara anyway. Maybe this is one of them? :)
I think both product perform well on you! I am a fan of liquid pen eyeliner and only use that kind of eyeliner on daily basis since pencil eyeliners always smudge :/
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried anything from covergirl but I've heard that they are basically the same like Max factor in some countries, Max Factor mascaras are great though!
Ah, then you're set! I miss having Max Factor over here. Their mascaras are GOOD! I may be wrong but they both are owned by P & G but Max Factor didn't do so hot in the U.S. so they decided to focus on other countries. I'm pretty sure they share some mascara technology! :)
DeleteBoth of these products look really great. I haven't seen the eye liner where I live, but I will keep an eye out for it. A liquid liner like that is preferable for me! I don't have a steady hand at all.

After a series of higher-end mascara disappointments, I am resolute to stick with drugstore mascaras from now on. I still love the original Voluminous WP as my go-to daily mascara, but I'm happy to introduce this new mascara in my routine. It is way more volumizing.
DeleteI still need more practice with liquid liners in general but this one is easier for sure if not as precise. :)
We don't get Cover Girl here, which is such a shame. I remember them being here when I was in college though. Wonder why they pulled out. Otherwise, I'd probably be all over that mascara!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you have Max Factor there, though? Which is a better option when it comes to mascara. If you do, chance is that you'd see something similar from the range, which seems to happen with mega cosmetic companies like these. I've always liked CoverGirl mascaras but this one is particularly nice. :)
DeleteMax Factor was here ages ago, then came back some time last year I think? But they didn't last a year!! I see more Japanese and Korean brands surfacing though.
DeleteOh, then I have to blame their ugly packaging and pinky base makeup! Shame because they are good quality especially in the price range.
DeleteInteresting shape on the thicker end of that liner! I wonder if it'll be easier for me to make a wing with it. Right now I'm using the KVD tattoo liner and the felt end is super helpful.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I gotta start using the KVD liner. I was gifted with a mini!
Deleteintensify me! definitely makes it easier to shape a wing. I think it is perfect for someone who just started using liquid liners or someone who is skilled enough that she/he can flick it in one stroke and go. :)
I haven't gone near CoverGirl in forever but now I want to try this mascara. I really really want to find a drugstore mascara solution. I thought I found one in Revlon but the second tube I repurchased wasn't as good as the first for whatever reason. Back to square one.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your wish list at the top of the page is SO VERY DANGEROUS. *___*
DeleteDo you have Max Factor up there? I personally think CoverGirl mascaras are nice thanks to the fact P & G also owns MF.
DeleteI'm actually more frustrated with higher-ends because the three I've tried last year were all disasters. I should blog about it someday but I'm putting it off because it is no fun and depressing. ;-/
Re: the wish list - I was actually thinking about putting it down to the bottom for my own sake...
NICE! I like Covergirl mascaras, so this makes me happy! And the eyeliner looks great too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tracy! I'm sure this mascara looks great on you pretty lashes! :)
DeleteThis mascara does great things for your lashes! Any mascara that doesn't uncurl the curl is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteFirst time it ever happened to me! I still prefer mascaras with conventional brushes, but this is a great option for a washable daily mascara. :)
