Review: Avon SuperShock Max Mascara

source: Avon.ca

When I reviewed the Super Drama Mascara, I promised the I would do another mascara review of a product that I like a lot better.  

I received a tube of Avon's SuperShock Mascara at a sales meeting (I'm an Avon rep in Canada).  I tried it and I have to say that I like it, and this will be my go to mascara from now on.  It makes my lashes look longer and fuller.  As with my other mascara review I will show before and after photos so you can see the difference.

Before

As you can see, there is a noticeable difference in the length and fullness of the lashes after using the mascara.

After

This particular mascara is available in regular and waterproof and the regular comes in two shades, black and brown/black.  The waterproof comes in black.  The regular price is $9.99, which is comparable to most mascaras.  It also goes on sale fairly frequently, and in Campaign 13 (which starts on the 5th of June and goes to the 19th of June,  Avon has several mascaras (including this on) on sale as buy one get one free.  

Overall I was pleased with this mascara and will definitely purchase again.

Review: Avon Super Drama Mascara

The search for a good mascara is a never ending hunt for the perfect product that does exactly what you want it to do.  Of course what sometimes happens is you find the perfect mascara for you and it gets discontinued.  This happened to me several years ago and I've been searching for a mascara to replace it ever since.  Unfortunately, Avon's Super Drama Mascara is not the mascara I've been looking for.

On the Avon website they claim that this mascara adds volume and length without clumping.  They are right about the not clumping, but that's about it.  I've taken pictures of my eye before and after putting on the mascara to show how non-dramatic the difference is.

Before 

After

As you can see from this angle there really isn't much difference in the length of my eyelashes before and after.  The mascara did darken them, and if you want a mascara that darkens your eye lashes without clumping, then this mascara would certainly do the job.  I'm not saying this is a horrible mascara, because it isn't, however it doesn't really do what it promises.

Here is another angle:

Before

After

As you can see it doesn't add any length to the lashes.

I don't hate this mascara, but it's not what I was expecting, and I wouldn't buy it again.  This is just an average mascara.  I bought another mascara at the same time I bought this one, and I will be reviewing it very soon.

In conclusion, if you want a mascara that doesn't clump, that you can wear with a natural makeup look, then this would be a good one to use.  It would be appropriate for a young teen, who wants to darken their lashes without looking overly made up.  For me, I want a mascara that makes my lashes fuller and longer, and this mascara doesn't do it.  Tomorrow I will be reviewing another Avon mascara which I like much better, so watch for that.
