Covergirl So Lashy! Mascara and Intensify Me! Eyeliner - Review and Swatches!

I did receive these products as part of a BzzAgent campaign, but a blog post was not part of the campaign process. I did still think it was important to put up a review because these are newer products and you may be interested in checking them out yourself! 

I received the Intensify Me! liquid liner in Sapphire and the So Lashy! Mascara in Extreme black! 

Here is a look at the mascara:

Covergirl Blast Pro So Lashy Mascara ~ Bold sexy lashes for all! Get the bold, dark, voluminous lashes you’ve dreamed of with COVERGIRL So Lashy! Mascara. Our 3-in-1 brush shapes, molds and builds lashes regardless of your lash type, while the specialized ball tip gets the corners and hard to reach lashes. Find the perfect mascara for any occasion. Also available in waterproof.

This mascara boasts a 3 in 1 brush shape designed to give you bold, sexy lashes! In has a ball tip on top, similar to the Benefit They're Real mascara, but also has 3 curved sides.

This wand is really big - I don't think I have ever seen a mascara wand this size before. The wand is a harder plastic material and it is really neat to look at. We will see if it is practical or

not though! 

The wand looks a little a different with mascara over it! It actually seems like a little waste of product when it fills in the wholes. 

This is me pre-mascsara and then with 1 coat of So Lashy! mascara on! I will say that I was impressed with how 1 coat of the mascara looked on my lashes - they were visibly longer and fuller. 

Overall, I found the huge wand really hard to use! I was going to try a few more coats but I didn't like the feel of it - it felt like I had no control over the wand and that it was going all over the place because of how wide it was. 

If you can get past the big brush, you might really enjoy this mascara!  

Covergirl Intensify Me! Liquid Liner ~ Get the control of a pencil with the intensity of a liquid eyeliner for beautifully defined eyes every time. Our all-new paddle-shaped tip gives you two looks in one—thick and dramatic or thin and elegant. The intense black formula glides on smoothly and dries quickly for instant drama. Clinically tested, suitable eyeliner for sensitive eyes.

The shade of the liner I received is Sapphire. This liner has a new "paddle" shape tip to allow for thick or thin application. 

The paddle tip is really interesting - it does go thick and thin, but I don't find the thin side to be very thin. I think my biggest problem with this applicator is that the tip doesn't come to a point making a wing or a fine point impossible. It just kind of blobs at the end. 

Here are the swatches:

I used the thick side of the applicator, the thin side of the applicator, and I turned the applicator from thick to thin in the top line. I found the thick side to be really thick - I'm not sure how often, if ever, I would use that side. Also, the thin side was still quite thick in my opinion. 

The liner dried quickly and didn't budge, but it got almost too dry where it was stiff and itchy on my skin. Based on this, and the applicator itself not being thin enough to use easily for me, I would not use this liner again! 

Have you tried either of these products? What did you think?
