Review: Avon SuperExtend Mascara


I have mixed opinions on this mascara. One thing that stands out to me is that it barely clumps! Out of all of my mascaras (trust me, I have a lot) I’d definitely say this one is the least clumpy. It has one of those plastic brushes like Lash Blast which I personally like, I think it separates my lashes really well. The brush is also quite small, so it's perfect for your lower lashes. It lengthened my lashes a little bit. Nothing too special though; I think 'SuperExtend' is a bit misleading. 

Also, it gives a very natural look. I use this for school if I’m in a rush as it’s not over the top and I don’t have to spend ages brushing out clumps  However, if I want thick, dramatic lashes, I definitely don’t reach for this one. It doesn’t thicken your lashes, so if you’re looking for a mascara that will thicken your lashes and give them amazing volume, don’t bother with this one.

Honestly, all it actually does to my lashes my lashes is separate them, add a bit of length and make them black. Overall, I think this is an okay, pretty average mascara. I've actually been wearing it a lot lately for days where I'm not really doing anything special. I'd probably buy it again if it was on sale.

3/5 ♥

Review: Avon SuperShock Gel Eye Liner Pencil In Black

I really do like this. It is so soft and glides on effortlessly without any pulling or tugging. Perfect for those who haven’t quite got the hang of putting on gel liner with a brush! I got it in black and it’s a gorgeous, dramatic jet black. It also doesn’t budge! I applied it in the morning and when I went to take my makeup off at night, it looked just as good as when I had applied it ten hours ago! It lasts really well on the waterline, too. A lot of people have compared this to Urban Decay 24/7 liner!

It’s really soft and creamy, which is a good thing but also a bad thing because it crumbles really easily when applying or sharpening. You have to sharpen it before every use which can be a bit of a pain but I don’t mind too much. Another thing is that it’s quite difficult to get a really thin line.
Because of those reasons, I probably wouldn't repurchase it.
