Dramatic Supershock Mascara By Avon Review | Long Lasting Defining False Lash Effect in Black or Brown

Saturday, October 2nd, 2010

avon supershock mascaraAvon Supershock Mascara has been created to expand, plump lashes for a false lash effect and is available in black or brown.

The wand and veil is devised to give up to 12x more volume with one dip. The teal plastic fine combed applicator picks up the maximum amount of formula possible to coat all lashes evenly with one sweep, according to Avon.

All Avon mascaras are always hypoallergenic and opthalmologist-tested, so should be suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

Supershock mascara won the SELF Health and Beauty award in 2008. Self is a magazine that once a year since 1999 has picked out the strongest product from a variety of brands. If you are interested in the results take a look at the site: http://www.self.com/beauty/2009/05/healthy-beauty-awards

Avon is an ever growing popular brand that is starting to spread its seeds all over the world. I like the brand as its usually cheap and effective.

Users Conclusions

I have compiled the list below from users reviews from Avon.com:

Pros

  • No clumps
  • Long lasting
  • No raccoon eyes
  • Wand separates lashes
  • Thickens

Cons

  • Not waterproof
  • The wand doesn't taper in to reach the small inner lashes

Ingredients

WATER/EAU, SHELLAC WAX/CIRE DE LAQUE, BEESWAX/CIRE D'ABEILLE, STEARIC ACID, C18-38 ALKYL, HYDROXYSTEAROYL STEARATE, COPERNICIA CERIFERA (CARNAUBA) WAX/CIRE DE CARNAUBA,
BIS-PEG-12 DIMETHICONE BEESWAX, TRIETHANOLAMINE, AMMONIUM ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, CYCLOPENTASILOXANE, GLYCERIN, GLYCERYL STEARATE SE, PARAFFIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, AMINOMETHYL PROPANEDIOL, SORBITAN SESQUIOLEATE, CELLULOSE, HYDROXYETHYLCELLULOSE, POLYQUATERNIUM-10, GALACTOARABINAN, SODIUM HEXAMETAPHOSPHATE, STEARYL DIHYDROXYPROPYLDIMONIUM OLIGOSACCHARIDES, TETRASODIUM EDTA, SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE, STEARDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL PANTHENYL PEG-7 DIMETHICONE PHOSPH.CHLORIDE, DIMETHICONE, POLYQUATERNIUM-11, POLYQUATERNIUM-7, TIN OXIDE, LAURETH-30, SORBITAN STEARATE, PEG-40 STEARATE, SILICA, METHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, PHENOXYETHANOL.

To Sum Up

All in all a very popular choice of mascara with most patrons relishing how it separates and thickens lashes.

There was one user that pointed out a obvious minor floor to the applicator. It doesn't taper in at the end like most wands, so it makes it harder to coat the small inner lashes without making a mess.

At $3.99 for a .35oz veil it is a very reasonably priced mascara, considering most are at least double that price.

Maybelline Unstoppable Mascara Review | Very Black, Long Lasting & Smudge Proof

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

maybelline MascaraMaybelline Unstoppable Mascara is designed to make the lashes 50% longer, last for 12 hours and to be totally smudge proof.

What do the ladies using it think?

Well from reviews on makeupalley it does 2 out of 3. Most ladies found that it lasts and doesn't smudge.

Unfortunately most users found it didn't make their lashes look any longer. Basically most users just thought it was a O.K mascara but nothing to write home about. One lady said it actually made her lashes look shorter, which really sucks!

To be perfectly honest Unstoppable sounds rather dull. I don't think I'll be rushing out for this one.

Ingredients

Water, Hydrogenated Stearyl Olive Esters, Carnauba Carnauba Wax, Cera Microcristallina Microcrystalline Wax, Ethylenediamine/Stearyl Dimer Dilinoleate Copolyme, Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Acrylates Copolymer, Pentylene Glycol, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, Palmitic Acid, Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid/Glycerin Crosspol, PVP, Cyclopentasiloxane, Phenoxyethanol, Rayon, Methylparaben, Polysilicone-11, Isoceteth-20, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Simethicone, Disodium EDTA, Poly Toluylene Co Trimellic Amide Imide, Isopropylparaben, Octylacrylamide/Acrylates/Butylaminoethyl Methacry, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Propylparaben, Lecithin, Isobutylparaben, Butylparaben, Laureth-4, Tocopheryl Acetate.

To Sum Up

So, this mascara might be worth while to some of you lucky ladies that have naturally long and thick lashes, as it does seem to last and not smudge.

However, if you expect it to make your short lashes look irresistibly long and luscious it is probably worth trying something else.

If you are interested in trying this mascara it retails for around $3.99 on Amazon.

MAC Zoom Lash Mascara Review | Defining, Lengthening & Long Lasting

Saturday, July 31st, 2010

Mac Zoom MascaraHey girls!

Most of my makeup is Mac, I just love there products. But! That's why I can't believe I'm going to say this, "Beware of Macs Zoom Lash Mascara".

While I was doing my makeup course at beauty school I got a full Mac Makeup kit. Well, like any girl I was thrilled. There was just one thing missing, a "Mac mascara". My Teacher had changed it for a Maybelline one instead.

I asked her why we didn't get Mac mascara, she said Mac mascaras are never that good. Now I can see why she opted for another brand after reading reviews on the Zoom!

Macs Zoom Lash Mascara is supposed to leave your lashes looking volumized, but from the reviews I've read all it seems to leave is a smudged mess!

It seems that a lot of ladies don't like the Zoom, according to reviews on Epinions.com. They say the wand isn't precise, it builds up product and clumps. Some users have even commented on the bad smell of the mascara.

Although there are some ladies that have found it works for them and leaves their lashes full, lengthens and defined.

If you want to try Mac Zoom Lash Mascara for yourself it costs $9.99. Which is a very reasonable price.

The Mascara comes in 3 colors black, brown and blue.

I'm sure everyone knows the name "Dior". It's a pretty good well known brand, that unfortunately has obtained the high price tags we could all live without.

Is Diorshow Mascara worth the high price tag?

Well that would be for you to decide. A lot of the reviews on Amazon and Sephora.com are positive. Most Dior enthusiasts think the mascara is amazing and definitely worth the money. One Dior fan even said, "Spending $24 on mascara is a sin, but I don't care... I am going to hell with *gorgeous* lashes!!!".

Although there are quite a few ladies who think it's not any better than the cheap drug store brands, so not worth the high price tag.

Dior Diorshow Mascara is expensive at $24 a pop, considering you can by other good brand mascara's for half the price. Although if you shop around you can pick it up at a lot lower price.
