Cover Girl Super Sizer Fibers | Review

As soon as I posted a photo on Instagram of the new CoverGirl Super Sizer Fibers display at Walgreens, the review requests started rolling in. Generally, I test out a product for a few weeks before I post a review, but I thought I would do a quick first impression post and let you know my thoughts in case you're wondering about this new formula.

First of all, the packaging and wand are exactly the same as the first Super Sizer. If you haven't tried that one, the wand is one of those plastic bristle types that's wide on the tip and tapers down at the base. The bristles aren't too close together or too far apart...I find them to be perfect for combing through my lashes and it distributes a good amount of product in one swipe (but not so much that there are clumps).

It claims to contain fibers mixed into the formula to give your lashes 400% volume + length.

I have no way to measure that claim, but I was surprised to get pretty good results in just one coat...that almost never happens! After two coats, I had really long, nicely separated lashes. I'm happy to report that I've been wearing this mascara since 10:30 am (and it's now 9:40 pm) and I have no smudging under my eyes and no flaking either!

Some questions I've been getting since I posted this on Instagram:

1. Is there a waterproof version? There wasn't a waterproof version in the display. It took CoverGirl a few months to come out with a waterproof Super Sizer last time so I'm guessing we'll see one soon.

2. If this has fibers is it ok to wear with contact lenses? The packaging says it's safe to wear with contacts and I myself wear them and haven't had any problems with this so far. I can't really wear those fiber formulas that have the 2 steps where you paint on the dry fibers in between coats of mascara. Those end up in my eyes and under my contacts...super uncomfortable! But in this case, the fibers are built into the formula so they don't fall into your eyes.

3. Do I use anything on my eyelashes to make them grow? One person asked me this and I thought I'd share my answer here as well. My lashes have always been pretty full, so a lot of it could just be genetics. I've noticed that they go through growth cycles...sometimes they seem thin and I have little gaps where some have fallen out, while other times (like now) they seem to be more full.

I don't use any lash serums or anything directly on my lashes.  I do take a skin, hair, & nails supplement with Biotin daily which is supposed to help your hair grow faster and stronger. After about a month and a half, I have definitely seen a difference in the hair on my head...it doesn't fall out as much and seems thicker at the roots. So it's totally possible that it's boosted my lashes as well.

I plan to do a follow-up post on this formula, especially if I start to feel differently about it, but for now I love it! I think it's even better than the original (which I also loved), so if you like a lot of length and separation with no clumps, you'll probably love this formula!
