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.

Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara Review | Defined & Lengthened False Lash Effect

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Givenchy MascaraI find this Givenchy Phenomen Eyes Mascara quite interesting. The ball shaped wand is a unique design, it is supposed to reach every lash and adapt to all eye shapes.

Phenomen Eyes Mascara is designed to hold the curl of the lash and leave them evenly spread for a "panoramic effect", says Givenchy.

Miss L. Chin says Phenomen is the "Holy Grail" of mascara's. Many ladies from makeupalley.com think this mascara is fabulous. It lengthens, separates each lash and also manages to reach even the tinniest lashes. Many users also like the very dark black color.

There are some people that aren't so happy with the results of this Givenchy mascara. Cosmonautte from makeupalley.com thinks there is a default in the formula as it takes ages to dry. Quite a few girls have had trouble using the wand and say it leaves smudges.

Ingredients

Water, Paraffin, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Polybutene, Styrene/Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Triethanolamine, VP/Eicosene Copolymer, Acacia Senegal (Acacia Senegal Gum), Hydroxyethylcellulo Phenoxyethanol, Glycerin, Panthenol, Butylene Glycol, Tetrasodium Edta, Sodium Laureth-12 Sulfate, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium, Cetyl Phenyl Ether Disulfonate, Potassium Sorbate, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Edta, Butylparaben, Ethylparaben, Isobutylparaben, BHT, CI 77266 (Black 2), CI 77499 (Iron Oxides).

Phenomen Eyes Mascara by Givenchy retails for $28 and comes in black or brown. Yet another very expensive mascara on the market.

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.
